The same husbandry standards we follow in the aviary, written for your home.
Buy the largest cage your space allows, with horizontal bars for climbing species. Provide at least four perches of varying diameter and natural material — never all-dowel. Position the cage against a wall at chest height so your bird feels secure, out of direct kitchen airflow.
A quality formulated pellet should make up 60–75% of the diet, with fresh chopped vegetables daily and fruit as a limited treat. Never feed avocado, chocolate, caffeine, alcohol, onion or anything cooked in non-stick cookware — PTFE fumes are fatal to birds.
Parrots need 3–4 hours of out-of-cage stimulation a day. Rotate foraging toys weekly, teach one new behavior a month with positive reinforcement, and never punish — birds do not learn from correction, only from reinforcement.
Establish a relationship with a certified avian veterinarian before your bird arrives. Schedule a wellness exam within 30 days of delivery, then annually. Weigh your bird weekly on a gram scale; a 10% drop is an emergency.
Birds require 10–12 hours of uninterrupted darkness. Provide full-spectrum lighting for 4–6 hours daily in low-sunlight homes, and offer a shallow bath or mist two to three times a week for feather condition.
Ceiling fans, open toilets, uncovered windows, scented candles, aerosols and non-stick cookware are the leading household hazards. Bird-proof one dedicated room before the first flight session.
