Abstract 

As in dog and cat medicine, parrot behavior issues are critical because parrots lose their homes every day because of behaviors considered unacceptable by humans. Through careful observation and assessment, veterinary personnel can help parrot owners avoid or deal with behavioral issues before they lead to displacement of birds to new homes.

Key words: behavior, behavioral disease, parrot, psittacine, body language, stress, fear
