Wrong place for a cage

You should not place the parrot's cage in rooms with high humidity. In particular, this applies to the kitchen and bathroom.

It is also important to ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight. In this case, there should be no drafts either.

After all, all these factors can have a negative impact on the bird’s condition.

Therefore, it is desirable that the cage be in a calm and quiet place where the pet will be minimally disturbed by external factors.

Constantly being in a cage

It is necessary to take into account the fact that a parrot's cage is a home, not a place of confinement.

So you shouldn't keep your feathered friend in a cage all the time.

After all, all birds, including parrots, love to fly. Therefore, we need to provide them with this opportunity.

This will allow the bird to feel comfortable. The parrot can be let out of the cage for about half an hour daily.

Nutritional errors

Every parrot owner should ensure that the bird's diet is varied and nutritious.

However, there are certain foods that should absolutely not be given to your feathered friends.

In particular, this applies to sweets, salty and dairy products, chocolate and some exotic fruits.
