Notes on keeping parrots

1, pay attention to bacterial growth

Parrot's feces in the warm and humid environment is prone to bacterial growth, so in order to ensure that the parrots and their families are healthy, the owners usually have to clean up the feces of the bird's cage in a timely manner, especially on the standing poles, which will be fermented and produce a lot of bacteria, viruses and parasites.

2, pay attention to the environment can not be too noisy

Because the parrot's guts are relatively small, if it is in a more noisy environment, they will be more afraid of the natural world to choose the habitat is also a quiet place, so try to arrange a suitable place for the parrot to avoid parrot emotional instability.

3, pay attention to food cleaning

Most of the edible vegetables and fruits have pesticide residues, of course, except for their own planted to give the bird to eat the vegetables, so owners need to clean the vegetables to feed, not to feed too much. In the choice of vegetables is also concerned, water, sugar and other vegetables are not suitable for feeding, the parrot can not eat ice food. Easily lead to gastroenteritis triggered by disease, serious or even cause death.
