Like us, birds need variety in life. To be happy and healthy,
they need socialization and exercise. This cannot be
accomplished if they are cooped up in a cage all day. Birds need
time out of the cage to move freely.
Bird cage stands help birds get their required exercise. Similar
to a tree, a bird cage stand is a

Parrots can be found in most of the warm parts of the world, including India, southeast Asia and west Africa, with one species, now extinct, in the United States (the Carolina Parakeet).
By far the greatest number of parrot species, however, come from Australasia, South America and Central America.
Many species can imitate human speech or other sounds, and at least one researcher, Irene Pepperberg, has made controversial claims for the learning ability of one species; an African Grey Parrot named Alex has been trained to use words to identify objects, describe them, count them, and even answer complex questions such as "How many red squares?" (with over 80% accuracy). Other scholars claim that parrots are only repeating words with no idea of their meanings and point to Pepperberg's results as being nothing but an expression of classical conditioning.
Parrots are kept as pets, particularly conures, macaws, amazons, cockatoos, african greys, lovebirds, minimacaws, cockatiels and budgerigars (also known as parakeets), because of their rich and varied colouration. Often the wings of such birds are clipped, but many people keep flighted pet parrots. Some parrots species have very long life-spans of up to 80 years. In 2004, Britain's Daily Mirror newspaper carried the story of a female macaw supposedly born in 1899, and subsequently a pet of Winston Churchill during the World War; the aged parrot, called Charlie, was reputed to curse the Nazis and Adolf Hitler.[1] Subsequent research strongly suggested that the parrot had never belonged to Winston Churchill, [2] [3] although Charlie's great age was not in question.
