    Very good point! They also needed alot more toys in that cage. It was virtually empty! My conure has 7 or 8 toys in his cage at a time…. This poor bird only had 5? Not nearly enough!

    You also have to be careful with the open windows, what if your neighbor next door is spraying his lawn with pesticides or chemicals?

    I advise that if you are afraid then you probably arent ready for a 30 year commitment.

    The best way to “punish” a parrot when they do something wrong is to put them back into their cage for a small amount of time and ignore them. A minute or two works. If you spray them with water to punish them what do you think is going to happen when you have to teach them to bathe or when they need a bath? You don’t want your bird to associate water with negative feelings.

    Nah, if you get a baby parrot, and raise him/her right, (meaning, to discipline them when they bite by spritzing them with a little water) they’ll understand that they aren’t supposed to do that and they’ll grow up thinking that way. But yes, they will snap at you a few times but when they do, ya have to discipline them. Never hit or yell at the parrot. I hope I helped. :)

    Cages should never be in direct sunlight. Otherwise, decent information overall.

    don’t forget that because he’s by the window, he should have some area where he can hide and feel secure in case there’s a cat wandering around, or a bird of prey flying by. Like a towel draped over a quarter of his cage, a sheet, something, preferably without a bold, crazy pattern. at least you are trying to educate people, some of these videos are just shocking to me on how these people keep their birds.

    Never get a bird for a pet. They are far more trouble than they are worth. The mess, the constant noise, the ‘needy’ behavior, biting anyone that is not the preferred person, not to mention the sheer cruelty of keeping a winged creature that should be free to fly in a cage or indoors its entire life, or worse, with its winged clipped so that it fly away from its equally needy ‘owner’. And trying to find a reliable, trustworthy sitter if you need to travel is a nightmare.
    After having a bird for over a decade, I am convinced that it is simply unethical for humans to keep birds. It is selfish and mean, and only serves the emotional needs of the human at the expense of the welfare of the bird. Birds do not belong in cages, ever.
    So if you just have to have some companionship to make you happy, buy sea monkeys.
    You don’t have to clip their wings….

    If you don’t have a bird already, don’t get one. Birds are a non-stop nightmare, and not worth it.
    You WILL regret it.
