However, when her newborn son suffered from asthma, she had to send all the cats and dogs she was raising to her parents for fear of affecting her son’s health.

“At first, I planned to take back the dogs and cats that I had left at my parents’ house because my child had completely recovered from asthma. However, by chance, my husband and I saw a neighbor raising two adorable parrots, so we started to learn about raising parrots as pets,” Linh said.

After researching, she realized that parrots are very intelligent, can sing along to music and imitate other very special sounds, and can even communicate with humans. So she decided to buy her first African grey parrot for 25 million VND.

“My husband and I bought this parrot with the intention of letting our son play with it, but it only sticks to my husband. If someone else comes close, it will peck painfully because they are used to being with only one owner. Seeing that our son was sad because the parrot did not play with him, my husband and I decided to find him another one with a friendlier personality,” said Linh.

“Galal Cockatoo is affectionate but fierce. It holds grudges for a long time and remembers things for a long time. If it hates someone, it will chase them away very quickly every time it meets them, but if it likes someone, it is very affectionate. In addition, it knows how to shake hands and act around, understands everything people say, and is very smart,” Linh said.

While raising the parrots, Linh also joined groups of parrot breeders in Vietnam to learn about their care. To have enough space for the parrots to observe and develop, Linh and her husband made a separate room on the balcony for the parrots.

Here, the parrots can both observe the family members and look out at the lush green nature. In the room, she added iron bars, swings, large guava branches and other necessary items. At the same time, she also hired people to take care of and clean the room by the hour.

Linh and her husband often take their parrots to the park to play or travel with their family. (Photo: NVCC).

“If in a family only the husband likes to raise pets while the wife doesn’t, or vice versa, it would be quite stressful, but in my family, both husband and wife like pets, focus on developing their work and setting goals, and set aside 10% of their monthly income to reward themselves by buying parrots. The whole family also feels happier because they have a common story about parrots,” Linh said.
