I thought pet insurance was just for dogs… until my parrot got sick

I'll be honest, insurance for parrots never crossed my mind.

Then one day, my cockatoo stopped eating. A quick vet visit turned into blood tests, meds, and a stressful overnight stay. The bill? Nearly £500.

That’s when I started wondering:
Why isn’t parrot insurance talked about more?

Turns out, it does exist but not all providers cover birds. And not all plans make sense long-term. Still, if I had signed up earlier, I would’ve saved a small fortune.
