If you�ve adopted a smaller parrot like a budgie or cockatiel, this paragraph hopefully does not pertain to you, as you will more than likely outlive your bird. However, if you�ve adopted one of the medium to large parrots whose life spans can range from 30 to 80+ years, then please consider what will happen to your parrot when you die. Please make a provision for your friend�s care and disposition in your will, so your parrot does not end up in a bad situation or being put to sleep.
