Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. With most species of parrots you cannot tell the difference between male and female without performing a DNA test.

Answer: True

Birds lack male and female reproductive organs on the outside of their body, therefore a DNA test must be done to determine the sex.

2. Which of the following birds has visual differences between males and females?

Answer: Eclectus

The female Eclectus is mostly red or purple in color, while the male is mostly green. Therefore it's obvious by looking at them which is male and which is female.

3. Sometimes when you purchase a parrot it will have a band around one of its legs. This band is for vet use only.

Answer: False

The band is put on by the breeder when the bird is hatched and is used to track bloodlines. Your vet will not need this band in order to treat your bird.

4. It is unsafe to feed your parrot any type of human food.

Answer: False

Most parrots love human food. It's okay to feed them fruits and vegetables, and some seeds and nuts. Their diet should be a mixture of pellets, fruits/veggies, nuts, and other healthy human food.

5. If a parrot regurgitates while you're holding it, it is a sign of affection.

Answer: True

In the wild regurgitation is a sign of affection or courtship to possible mates. If your parrot regurgitates its dinner for you it is a sign of great affection!

6. Some owners clip the wings on their birds to prevent flight. It is also okay to clip the tail feathers.

Answer: False

You should never clip a bird's tail feathers. They are used for balance and your bird could get seriously hurt if it feels disoriented by loss of balance.

7. Which of the following could indicate a health problem with your bird?

Answer: All of these

All of these are signs of illness in your bird. You should take your bird to the vet if you notice any changes.

8. If you hear your bird making an odd grinding noise at night, something is wrong.

Answer: False

Grinding the beak at night is the sign of a content bird.

9. Which one of the following can be lethal to birds?

Answer: Teflon

If you own a bird, you should not cook with Teflon-coated pots and pans. If you burn something in a Teflon pan, or if the pan gets hot enough, the resulting fumes could be deadly to your bird. To be safe, it's best to just get rid of all Teflon pans.

10. When is it normal for your bird to be most vocal?

Answer: dawn & sunset

It is natural activity for your bird to be more vocal at sunrise and sunset. This is because in the wild birds vocalize in the morning to alert the flock that they will be moving soon and to let other flocks know where they're at. They also vocalize at night to call the flock back together.
