I kept a few exotic birds for more than 15 years (rainbow lorikeet, eclectus parrot, etc.), and as long as you meet their basic needs for secure shelter, clean water, correct diet, and an annual avian vet checkup they are quite self sufficient and happy. The birds at Parrotville and very well cared for and live in an environment far superior to most homes. When we visited we did not see anything that concerned us. Just people enjoying these beautiful birds and the birds enjoying their visitors.
