Rational Parrot is an educational website for people who want to understand and care for companion parrots with greater knowledge and empathy. Founded in 2025 by lifelong bird enthusiast Malik Miller, the site draws on his more than 20 years of hands-on experience, alongside science-informed research and practical insights. Its central idea is that parrots are intelligent, emotional, and social beings, so good care starts with understanding why they behave as they do—not simply trying to control them.

Rational Parrot publishes guidance on species-specific needs, behavior, nutrition, daily care, and enrichment. Its articles address topics such as biting, screaming, feather plucking, safe foods, living-space setup, grooming, and building trust. Content covers a range of birds, including parakeets, budgies, macaws, cockatoos, cockatiels, lovebirds, and conures, with advice tailored to their differing traits and needs. The site is designed for curious owners seeking thoughtful, practical information to support their birds’ wellbeing and strengthen the relationship they share.
