I Need Yours All Help

Actually I do agree with the first respondent in that a cat could be the solution, however it would also mean putting your parrot in some sort of cage, so that it will be safe from the cat. The other alternative is to get some bait and put it out so the rats will eat it and then go away to die. Your mother is right in that the rats can do a lot of damage to things just by chewing through wires etc but at the same time they are carriers of many diseases. This of course means that anything they go near, pots and pans, is a risk and must be thoroughly washed before using. When you get rid of the rats, see if you can find out where they came in. Once you do that, they put some steel wool into the whole, because they cannot chew through it. Get rid of the rats sweetie, and if that means using baits then that is the way it has to be. Rats are not clean animals and carry diseases which can make people extremely sick.

Kill both cat and parrot..

I have came here too late so replying late. But now its not the time to suggest any thing but the time to congratulate you that your problem resolved. Congrats!

Sorry, if I had to choose between getting a cat to kill the rats or my birds, I get a cat. What happens if the rats bite someone? Do you know they carry disease?
