Check out this list of popular houseplants that are safe for birds for some insight into the types of plants that are safe for bird owners to keep. You'll be surprised at the many exotic and unique looking plants that can grace your home without endangering your pet bird.

Scarlet Macaws have been popular with bird owners for many years, and it's no wonder why -- they are beautiful, intelligent, and they make exceptional companions.

Find out more about Scarlet Macaws and keeping them as pets in this Scarlet Macaw Profile.
