Some professionals and parrot enthusiasts may advise people to carefully consider keeping a monk parrot, usually for some of the following reasons:

  1. Loud: Monk parrots are often considered to be one of the loudest species in the parrot family. Their screams can be as loud as 110 decibels, so they can be a nuisance to some people who live in apartments or are sound sensitive.

  2. Requires Large Space: Monk parrots are larger parrot species and require larger cages and ample space to move around. If owners fail to provide them with a suitable living space, their health and happiness will be affected.

  3. Emotional and Intellectual Needs: Monk parrots are very intellectual and emotional birds that require a lot of stimulation, socialization, and interaction. If the owner fails to spend enough time with him, it can cause anxiety and behavioral problems in the monk parrot.

  4. Picky eating and care needs: Monk parrots require high quality and variety in their feed, and their feathers require special care to stay healthy and colorful.

However, this does not mean that you cannot keep a monk parrot, but it does mean that keeping one requires careful consideration and preparation. If people have enough time, resources, patience and are willing to invest energy and money, and are confident that they can meet the needs of monk parrots, then it is feasible to raise monk parrots. It is important to fully understand the needs and characteristics of the species before deciding to keep a pet to ensure that a suitable living environment can be provided.
