Can a parrot be a service animal?

Answer 1

Yes, parrots are exotic animals and not truly domesticated with the possible exception of cockatiels and parakeets. Parrots may become good pets but some never adapt to human companionship. They require a lot of work and interaction as they are quite intelligent. In general, parrots are noisy, destructive and messy. They can also be expensive to feed and many require a specialized diet. Some of the larger birds can easily remove a finger should he not want to be touched. I currently have about 17 parrots so speak from experience.

Answer 2

No, parrots can not be service animals under the Federal Laws (the Americans with Disabilities Act) under the ADA only dogs and sometimes miniature horses may be service animals.
