Parrot Guide -Train Your Parrot

Now there is a surprise.
One of my regular readers asked why I don’t share articles about bird guides the way other writers share about guides to train their dogs?
My response was simple. — I never thought of it.

Most of my bird experiences have been in the wild outdoors and most of my birding guide experiences have been with identification and behavior of birds in their natural habitat.

So, after giving it some thought, I decided to add this dimension to this site.

Guides for CARE and TRAINING of Birds.

My goal here is to share expert perspectives from other authors, amateur adventures in bird care and guidance to help you find useful online resources that can answer more of your questions.

MY  First CARE and GUIDE Post is right here:

A PARROT GUIDE – Guide to Care and Training Your Parrot

The first thing that comes to mind is to realize that your pet parrot may live longer than you do.  I know someone who inherited several birds from his uncle, including 2 African Gray Parrots and one Cockatiel.  As far as I know they are still all living harmoniously in a New York City apartment.  So, pay attention to the life span of these feathered friends.

Caring for your pet parrot includes 3 things you must know how to do :

1. Proper feeding
2. Proper Cage size and placement
3. Healthy Cage Management

1. These are not difficult to learn, but they are easy to overlook.  Parrots are curious and can be affectionate.  Feed only proper parrot food, not human junk food snacks just because your parrot is curious and playful.

2. Parrots are gregarious. They like to be around people, where the action is. However, the kitchen is not the best place for the parrot’s cage. Too many fumes from cooking and all that sort of thing are not healthy for parrots.  Think, maybe family room or recreation room instead.

3. Healthy Cage Care is essentially this:

• Be sure the cage is big enough for your parrot to stretch its wings.
• Clean. Clean. Clean your parrot’s cage and change the water DAILY.
• Do NOT use harsh cleaners that could harm your bird.
• Safety comes first. Inspect the cage to be sure there are no loose sharp metal edges that can hurt your parrot.

Now, with that as your beginning, what else is there to caring for a parrot?   Some people “bathe” their parrots, like a misty rain shower would in the wild. You can get a Complete Guide for Parrot Care Here

There really are some specific parrot care tips that can help you build a long and healthy relationship with your pet parrot.

When you are settled in with your new pet parrot, here is a good place to learn how to TRAIN Your Parrot.

Be sure you have not taken an endangered animal from the wild and attempted to make a pet out of it.  Always work with a reputable dealer and be sure you take your parrot to an experienced bird veterinarian.

We have great vets at the North Alabama Cat and Bird Clinic in Hartselle Alabama.

I look forward to hearing from more of you to see how this additional focus sounds to you.
