Fresh clean water is a must. How you provide your parrots water is a personal preference. You can provide water in a bowl or a water bottle. It is very important how ever to sterilize any container that you use daily. If you use a bowel make sure that it isn’t in a place that can come in contact with feces. Fresh clean water must be provided at all times.
A parrots diet is also a most important key ingredient to a happy healthy bird. First off it is helpful to know when parrots eat in the wild. They forage twice a day for food. In the morning and evening. So plan on two meals for your companion a day. Offering a variety of tastes and textures is a way to avoid boredom and discourage a picky eater. A good pellet diet is a good base to start with. Offer veggies daily morning and evening. Fruit should also be offered. A few treats from the table are also good for his mental health. Parrots need the inter-action from their human flock. Just make sure that the treats from the table are low in salt and sugar. Pellet should be available all the time and seed mix can be offered as a treat.
