Wu Junhui, a 25-year-old game designer in Chengdu, loves his three parrots. Every day when he gets home, he lets them out, calls their names and watches them landing on his hands. He used to like cats but fell in love with birds after a friend gave him one.
In China, bird-keeping was usual for the elderly in the past. But now more and more young people are keeping birds as pets. Parrots, especially parakeets and cockatiels, are the top choices.
Cost(成本) is an important reason for this. On Taobao, a small parakeet costs as little as 40 yuan. Birds are also cheap to feed. Their food is usually a mix(混合) of corn, vegetables and fruit. “I used to spend about 1,500 yuan on a three-month supply of food for my four cats, but a three-month bill for my three birds is less than 20 yuan,” said Wu. “It’s much cheaper than keeping cats.”
Wu finds parrots to be his perfect friends. “If I let the birds out, they’ll always stay close to me,” he said. “They stand on my shoulder when I watch TV. When I’m feeling a little down, I stroke(轻抚) them, and that cheers me up.”

A
▲ Parrots get sick(生病的) easily because of their small size and fast metabolism(新陈代谢). What’s worse, vets(兽医) are often hard to find. Sun Huicong, a teacher in Foshan, knows this well. Earlier this year, his parrot “Facai” had difficulty laying an egg. The operation(手术) and trip to the vet in Guangzhou were costly and took time. But Sun was glad that “Facai” got better quickly after receiving help in time. After all, not all bird lovers can count on this.(
