    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.

  • parrotflock:

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

    uhh. arnt u afraid of its huge beak? i want a parrot or a conure REALLY bad, but i am kinda terrifies of their beaks..

  • nbblover96:

    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. :)

    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.

  • thelyzardiam:

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

  • thelyzardiam:

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

  • thelyzardiam:

    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!

  • lastarria10:

    what about the white grit

  • parrotrjl95:

    cool bird

  • Recon9143:

    can i just go and get any random Wood Branch that is cut? or do i have to buy the wood in pet stores?

  • zkyevolved:

    Yeah that’s not recommended as a lot of branches may have some kind of pesticide on them or something else that may not be in your birds best interest to have in his cage.

  • spickymaster:

    nice rusting cage GROSS!

  • MapleMaster:

    cage fucking suck need 3 time as many toys

  • 7jerryv7:

    No. Make sure that the wood is not poisinous by searching online and match the branch type with whether it is toxic or not. Manzanita is a good branch. You should provide perches that mimick real branches. Also, concrete ones are good as it takes care of their nails and the skin on the bottom of their feet.

    You do not have to buy the perches in pet stores but it is usually the most convenient way to go.

    That cage is not big enough for that bird!

  • MissyBelle2:

    poor, poor bird

  • madusasnape:

    Usally,you should bake it first to the the bacteria off it so your birdie cant get sick

  • animaltrainer1:

    You need a bigger cage thats wrong…

  • brockslice:

    not enough toys!!! Careful putting a bird by a window. Make sure there’s no draft coming through. Sometimes a bird by a window can become territorial or overly noisy.

  • thisboythatgirl1:

    get over it. The bird looks happy just leave it be, don’t tell people how to look after their bird!

  • EvgeniaZ:

    how can you teach people how to take care of the bird if you don’t do it properly yourself?!!!!! Give him more toys!!!!!! you are full of yourself with your “assistant”!!!! ha ha ha!!! give me a break!!!

  • Bischoff1SBeast:
