Spend time on a regular basis with your bird. They will crave your attention and you should fulfill their desire to be around you as much as possible.

Tips & Warnings

Use both cement perches and natural perches to promote the health of your bird's feet.
Take your bird to a veterinarian annually to ensure proper health. Also make special trips any time your bird shows signs of illness.
