Choose the largest cage you can fit, with bar spacing suited to your species, varied natural perches, foraging stations and daily out-of-cage time.
Positive reinforcement works best. Short daily sessions with high-value treats build step-up, recall and towel training without stress.
Watch weight weekly, monitor droppings and feather condition, and book an annual avian vet exam. Sudden changes always warrant a check-up.
Give your new parrot a quiet week to settle, keep routines predictable, and introduce new toys and people gradually to build trust.
Repeat words in an upbeat tone at consistent times of day. Social species like greys and amazons learn fastest with daily interaction.
