Parrots, especially young are quite mobile and active birds to which many hours in a row in a cage are boring to sit. Even if you often set the pet free, it is necessary to take care also of that in his house there was all necessary: not only feeding trough and drinking bowl, but also perches, swing, ladders, toys.
Necessary objects in a cage
In each cage for a parrot there has to be an obligatory set of objects which are necessary for a bird for healthy life. First of all it is a feeding trough. It is inconvenient to parrots to eat from a saucer therefore it is desirable to buy it a special bowl. When choosing pay attention to material: as qualitative and hygienic are considered porcelain and faience, it is possible to buy cheaper plastic feeding trough also.The bird has to have a continuous access to water therefore it is necessary to put one or several drinking bowls. It is more convenient such devices of the closed type, in them water does not become soiled. If you choose an open drinking bowl, watch purity of water in it: as soon as the dung gets to it, it is necessary to replace water at once, harmful ammonia will be emitted differently. Do not put to the pet big open drinking bowls, otherwise he will begin to bathe in them. Equip to a parrot the swimming bath – a small bathtub where he could bathe from time to time. He has to make bathing procedures at least once a week. The size of a bath depends on the size of a bird, but it has to be located freely in it. Pour warm clear water to the swimming bath, and after the procedures pour out it that the parrot did not begin to drink it.
Entertainments for a parrotParrots carry out the most part of the life on branches therefore in a cage they need to equip similar conditions. For this purpose fix in several perches, it is desirable wooden, from soft breeds. Birds like to pick branches, they especially like perches with kidneys. Make sure that they are well fixed and do not rotate when the parrot sits down on them. The majority of breeds of parrots very active, to them is pleasant to move, climb a cage, to investigate new corners. Try to install more different devices inside: ladders, poles, swing. But do not forget that there has to be also a lot of free space. All objects on which the pet will sit have to be wooden: he can gnaw plastic things, and it is unhealthy. Buy a parrot several toys: a hand bell, a pocket mirror, a ring which is suspended under a cage ceiling. The bird will like any objects which make sounds or move. From time to time you bring to the pet fresh branches of deciduous trees which contain many minerals and the vitamins useful to birds. It is very important not correct to equip a cage, but also to watch its purity. Wash it as often as possible, every day clean a pallet, once a month arrange clear-out – change old branches, wipe all rods with camomile broth.
