You of course just want the best for your bird!
But do your ideas match with the ones of your pet? The following points should be considered – besides a healthy and balanced feeding:
- Keeping in pairs just like in nature. Single keeping is not suitable for animals, even if spend a lot of time at home and play a lot with the bird! The Parrot Park at Bochum offers professional pairing service with a matching partner for single kept birds (www.papageienpark-bochum.de)
- Sufficient size of the cage with the possibility of flying under control
- Bird room with or without outside aviary
- Sufficient illumination, possible with a daylight lamp with portion of ultraviolet rays
- Enough air humidity (Vaporiser - Humidifier)
- Supply of fresh air
- Easy cleaning
- Cutting of wing feathers is generally to be refused! If you wish to bring your bird you into the garden, consider a suitable backpack. Harnesses for birds aren’t proper, due to a high risk of injuries. Free flying is only possible if the bird is perfectly trained, and of course a certain risk always remains...
You would always educate your dog. A parrot is more intelligent than a dog: If you don’t educate him, he will educate you for sure! A professional training is recommended (www.papageien-training.de)
