Care

Choose the exact species before selecting an enclosure: flight length, safe bar spacing and varied natural perches matter. Offer daily enrichment and safe exercise, with no fumes, ceiling fans or open windows. Avoid direct sun and hot balconies; maintain stable ventilation without chilling drafts. Find an avian veterinarian before acquiring a bird.
