The cage should be spacious and rectangular, with a retractable tray for ease of cleaning. At different levels, perches of various widths should be fixed in it. This will give the parrot a warm-up for its legs.
The cage should be placed in a well-lit room, at a height of one and a half meters from the floor. Make sure that there are no drafts in this area and that the heaters are at a sufficient distance.
Periodically, the parrot needs to be released from the cage for free flight.
The humidity in the room must be kept moderate and no sudden changes in temperature allowed.
The daylight hours for the bird should be twelve to fourteen hours, this will provide it with adequate nutrition.
The parrot's beak must be carefully monitored. To prevent any problems with it, you need to place branches of trees or shrubs in the cage. The parrot will clean its beak about them and grind off its claws.
The poultry diet should contain a sufficient amount of minerals and vitamins. It is important to supplement food in addition to the main grain mixtures, hard grains.
Parrot water must be given settled and purified. Boiled water is not acceptable.
