Instructions
Step 1
Buy an all-metal domed cage or flat top open top. It should be large enough for the bird to spread both wings at the same time. A green parrot in a cage needs at least one wooden perch. Place it at such a level that, sitting on it, the parrot does not touch the top of the cage with its head, and the lower grate with its tail. Materials such as birch, mountain ash, linden and aspen are not suitable for making poles.
Step 2
Place the cage in a part of the room that is sufficiently lit and secure it at the level of the person's face. Make sure that there are no climatic equipment nearby. Drafts are also harmful for parrots. Place a shallow bowl of water in the cage. The parrot will swim in it. Your pet will need a feeder and drinker. Keep the crate tidy or your pet may get sick. Clean up the bird's house at least every other day, and wash the feeder daily. Green parrots love to admire themselves, so buy a special mirror made of shatterproof material.
Step 3
Feed the bird with corn and oat grains, previously washed and soaked for several hours in boiling water, or wheat germ. Also, your parrot will like nuts: peanuts and hazelnuts. Add apples, carrots, cabbage leaves and rowan berries to the bird menu. Train your parrot to return to the cage. To do this, feed him only in it. You will be surprised to see that the bird even began to close the door of its dwelling behind it.
Step 4
Treat your pet with care, especially at first. He must get used to the cage, to you, and to the new room. Let the parrot gradually get to know you, do not touch him at first, but only give food. Then you will gradually teach the bird to eat from your hand, and when it is completely used to you, you will begin to pick it up and even train it. At first, do not make sudden movements when approaching the cage. When feeding, affectionately call the green parrot by name so that it gets used to the name.
