African Grey Parrot Care

After keeping African Grey Parrots for more than 8 years, learning so much about them on the way and breeding them successfully, I have decided to create a page on the care they require...

I am going to start with the basic requirements... 

• Diet - Fresh food and water daily
• Extra calcium in the diet
• Attention
• Toys to keep them entertained
• Birdy baths!
• Suitable size cage
• Socializing
• And finally Love!!!

Do you want to create a special bond with your parrot! 

Well first you need to know the Do's and Do not's

DO...

• Have your pet vet checked
• Allow the bird time to adjust in a quiet place
• Handle with love and include other family members!
• Offer fresh fruit and veggies as well as seeds
• Have a play/ perch area (plus a cage)
• Clean food and water dishes daily
• Praise your bird and encourage good behaviour

DO NOT...

• Scream or hit your parrot
• Leave in cage all the time
• Smoke around your bird
• Encourage bad behaviour
