By clue 5 you can determine the five birds are Echo, the one who lovers bungees, the one owned by Deb, the Amazon and the one owned by Mary. Peco, whose mom is Nela and who isn't the Amazon (clue 4) must be the bird who loves bungees. Janet who owns the Caique (clue 2) must be Echo's mom. Deb is the proud new mom to the bird who loves music toys (clue 6). The Parrotlet that loves his swing (clue 1) must have Mary for a mom. Josie who loves the treat cage (clue 3) must be the Amazon. Zeeker who is an African Grey (clue 7) must be the bird owned by Deb. Therefore, by elimination, Josie's mom is Sue, Echo's favorite toy is the Woodpile and the Parrotlet is named Peanut.
In summary:
| Bird | Echo | Peco | Zeeker | Josie | Peanut |
| Owner | Janet | Nela | Deb | Sue | Mary |
| Species | Caique | Macaw | African Grey | Amazon | Parrotlet |
| Favorite Toy | Woodpile | Bungee | Music Toy | Treat Cage | Swing |
Welcome to Avian Enrichment where our mission is to provide information to bird owners that will foster a deeper understanding of the emotional, instinctual and physical needs of parrots. We believe, that the better we understand our birds, the better we can ensure that they will live happy, healthy and fulfilled lives as our companions.
As caretakers of these marvelous creatures we must provide for their physical needs to the very best of our abilities. By consistently addressing all of the key areas outlined in our articles you will not only enhance your bird's quality of life but will also strengthen his relationship with you.
Parrots have been described as having the emotional equivalent of a 2 year old child. We wouldn't think of leaving a toddler locked alone in a room deprived of opportunities for social interaction, nurturing, intellectual challenge or guidance for several hours a day and expect them to develop into a healthy, happy and fully functioning beings. We also can't expect this of our parrots. As with children, parrots need a lot of patience, attention and nurturing guidance, as well as opportunities to learn and explore.
Regardless of the fact your baby parrot may have been born in captivity, parrots are still instinctually hardwired to survive in the wild. Unlike dogs and cats who have been selectively bred and domesticated over several millennia, parrots have only been bred domestically for a few generations and therefore they are not that different (physically or psychologically) from their wild counterparts.
