Despite the fact that pet parrots can reduce loneliness in humans, they themselves often suffer from a lack of companionship and species-specific socialization. In the wild, parrots live in large flocks. However, when these highly social birds are kept in captivity, such as pets, they often experience loneliness. Boredom and isolation can lead to psychological issues and even physical consequences. Lonely parrots are unhappy parrots.
Video calls cannot fully replace the social interaction that occurs in the wild, but they can be a viable option for improving the lives of parrots already in captivity. Additionally, this can be beneficial for birds that cannot interact in person due to contagious diseases.
The Parrotschat platform makes life easier for bird owners and provides a space to connect tens of thousands of people and their feathered companions in one place. Parrotschat helps parrots avoid stress after separation from their families or friends in aviaries, maintain a balance between animal and human socialization, and significantly enrich their environment. Under their owners' supervision, tens of thousands of parrots can regularly interact online with countless other parrots—all in one place.
