All About Raising Parrots - Family - Pets

Many people are interested in adopting parrots because of their intelligence, ability to learn various tricks and certainly, the ability to imitate the human voice and speak.

However there is a lot of information you need to know if you want to adopt the parrot that is right for you, if you want to keep your bird healthy and happy and if you want to teach your parrot different tricks.

One of the important things to pay attention to is nutrition. You can't feed your parrot a monotonous food day after day be it seeds or ready-made bird food and expect your parrot to be happy and healthy.

Parrot needs protein, carbohydrates and fat the same way the humans do so make sure you feed your parrot some fruits, homemade dishes along with seeds so it won't get sick.

Another important consideration is parrots supplies. This is by no means limited to a cage. While it is important to buy a cage of the right size for your favorite bird, you have to remember that there are other things you need to consider.

For example, you would need some trays made of non-toxic material for water and food; you need to buy perches that are non-toxic, chewable, preferably wooden and do not forget parrot toys.

Parrot toys are not nice to have items - they are a necessity. Parrots are intelligent creatures and can get bored very quickly so you need to keep them interested!

The best way to do so is by buying toys that will pick the bird's curiosity so it will want to investigate them further. Toys should be non-toxic and they need to be replaced periodically.

And of course, if you need to teach your parrot how to imitate a human voice, teach him how to talk and good manners in general, you need to acquire a specific knowledge.
