The Basics of Bird Aviaries
You will need to have the correct housing if you choose to keep your birds in the home.The lifetime of the bird will be greatly impacted by what size and type of aviary you buy.
I would reccommend a large aviary. The birds want to climb, stretch and play so it’s essential there is adequate space for the parrot to do this inside rather than it just sitting on a perch placed inside the bird aviary.
The bird aviary will need horizontal bars. Which will make it easier for the bird to hold onto the sides of the aviary when climbing. Ensure the space between each bar should also be checked so that the bird will not injure itself during this activity.
An inexpensive bird aviary may not always be what you want or the best. The material used in constructing the bird aviary may not be of good quality and may also pose as a danger for the parrot. I
Standard bird aviaries have doors and latches. People who choose to acquire a parrot should avoid using this as it can cause injury to the animals beak, head, neck or wing. Detacable ones have been proven to be safer for your bird.
The birds can build up a lot of waste. Ideally the bird aviary will have a pull out tray at the bottom for ease of cleaning. You will find this easier than going inside to clean the bird aviary of droppings, which will take a long time to clean.
Thebird aviary should have a specified area where the bowl will be placed. Manufacturers sometimes supply plates otherwise you will need to buy them individually. It is easier to use a removable one because this needs to be cleaned twice a day before and after feeding.
To make it easier for your bird at feeding time make sure the birds perch is near the food plate.
Having a pet big or small is an big responsibility. You and your parrot should have a safe bird aviary for many years.
