2. Don't hit its beak or other parts of the body. When your parrot bites, don't drop it on the floor or shake it, and don't lock it in a cupboard or bathroom or throw it in the bird cage. These behaviors are coercive and aggressive.
3. Don't heat the vicinity of the bird cage. Most species of parrots have a certain degree of cold resistance, some parrot owners do not understand this, in the winter season, additional heating near the bird cage, the result is that when the parrot traveled to and from the cage and the activities of the place, too large a temperature difference makes the bird cold. As long as you make sure that your parrot is not starving, is not exposed to direct cold winds, and maintains a room temperature of 5°C or more during the winter, you can keep your parrot comfortable through the winter.
