How to raise parrots

Parrots are a common pet bird, loved by everyone for their bright feathers, smart minds and ability to imitate human language. So how do you keep a parrot? What are the feeding methods? Let’s learn more about it below.

1. Cage selection

The cage should be large enough to allow the parrot to fly freely and stretch its wings. As a general rule of thumb, the cage should be at least twice the length of your parrot's wingspan and at least as high as it is long. At the same time, there should be multiple perches in the cage for the parrot to jump and rest.

2. Environmental management

Pay attention to the sanitation of the environment where the parrot lives, clean and disinfect the parrot's cage regularly, change its utensils frequently, and try to clean it once a day. Pay attention to protecting your parrot from heatstroke in summer and keep it warm in winter. When the weather is hot in summer, you should pay attention to cooling down the parrot and preventing it from being overexposed to the sun. You can give it a bath or blow dry it appropriately.

3. Dietary tips

When feeding parrots on a daily basis, you should provide fresh seeds and grains, along with a variety of fruits and vegetables to ensure a balanced diet. At the same time, you can also add nourishing pills, health sand, liquid calcium and other health products to assist your health.

4. Watering tips

You can prepare a special water dispenser for parrots to feed water. It is recommended to feed boiled water to ensure that there is water in the birdcage. Young birds can be fed a little warm water with a spoon, and the water needs to be changed daily. In addition, when the weather is hot, you need to add drinking water several times a day and prepare a tank for the parrot to bathe in the sun.

5. Interactive training

Parrots are social animals and need interaction with people or other parrots to maintain their psychological health. In addition, through training, you can teach your parrot some simple commands and tricks, which will help improve your relationship with your parrot.

6. Regular inspection

The parrot's physical health needs to be checked every day. You can turn over the fur to check the hatching status. You can make some records to record the development of the young birds and their gradual growth into adult birds. The times of molting, estrus, and pairing can be recorded in detail to facilitate breeding adjustments.

In general, raising parrots is a job that requires patience, and the focus should be on environmental regulation, feeding and watering, etc. In addition, there are many varieties of parrots, and their habits and requirements in various aspects are slightly different, so it is best to consult a professional or conduct detailed research before raising one.
