They will claw on your sofa and chew on everything that they can get their hands on. How big will it be? The size is one of the most important consideration when buying a cage. You don t just buy a size that will fit the current size of your pet parrot, you will also have to think about the other things that you have to put in there. In the lives of parrots, the parrot breeders are foster parents because they take care of the bird from the beginning. Since the parrot breeders are the ones who look over the well-being and welfare of parrots since birth, the overall health and personality of the parrot depends on the methods of breeding they use. Try to choose toys that are non-destructive and are large or small enough to fit into your parrot s cage. It s not really necessary to buy expensive toys because they can be home-made as long as the parrot enjoys it. 5. A dependable T-stand. T-stands are actually training tools, thus, they should not be placed where the bird can use it often because they can do tricks you might miss.

It doesn't mean this parrot has to be on high sale just because of the talking qualities. Owners getting disappointed with non-talking African Grey specie often tends to neglect their pets afterwards. If a parrot is constantly in the cage wailing repeated shrieks all the time, then it is nothing but a talking trophy. It takes daily minutes of patience to gain your pet parrot's respect. Take note, a parrot is just a bird, but the amount of loyalty you can get out of training it is priceless. By giving it firm orders to climb on its perch up or down is just the start. Though its true there are some cheap cages that can be found in the market, the owner must not get this based on this criteria alone. This is because the material used in making the cage will not be of good quality that may also pose as a danger for the parrot. It is better then to get an expensive one made of stainless steel or powder coated since these are not toxic to the pet.
