Parrots require a lot of human interaction and stimulation. If you're unable to provide this then a 'Grey' is NOT suitable for you.
Solitary 'Greys' can suffer from stress and depression that can cause health issues such as plucking and self-mutilation. Also, a strictly agrarian diet is dangerous as they are deficient in many of the essential nutrients.
Cage
Zuri comes with his own cage and a care kit with selected premium feeds. Zuri comes with a detailed guide on how to care for him.
They are extremely intelligent birds that require a lot of care. To be happy, they need to be fed regularly and cleaned often. If you are unable to spend time with them, they'll become stressed and might begin biting or exhibiting self-harming behaviours like feather plucking and tear their own feet. This is the reason parrots are among the most sought-after pets. It's a huge commitment, and you must be certain that your pet will be around for the rest of its life before purchasing one.
African Greys are bonded to one family member and enjoy spending lots of time with them. They can scream loudly when left by themselves. This is a sign the bird is in need of help. It can be a traumatic to hear. You can overcome this by ensuring that your bird is at ease and accustomed to other family members who can care for it in your absence.
When you are looking for a cage, ensure that it is large enough that your pet can fully spread their wings without touching the sides of the cage. Also, make sure the bars are wide enough that your pet can't escape and get stuck. It is important to ensure that all feeder and door doors are secured, so your pet cannot open them.
A cage with an out tray slide is also less messy than a solid floor. You should also provide plenty of toys to keep your pet entertained as this is a very active and intelligent species.
Certain cages come with built-in perches your pet can use. You should consider adding an additional set of perches. A variety of perches can aid in maintaining healthy claws and decrease the need for clipping. You can also add bells and climbing cords into the cage to provide extra exercise to your pet.

African greys are a social species that enjoy human companionship and will bond with one person, becoming loyal to them for the rest of their lives. They're not for everyone, and could be a problem if they aren't given the attention they require. This is the reason that they are among the most frequently rehomed pets despite being the third-most popular parrot. If you choose to purchase an African grey, you should be prepared for a significant commitment to taking care of your pet and providing it with the love and attention that it needs.
If you're not able to spend long periods of time with your African grey, then it is not the right animal for you. It won't be content in a space that is solitary and will require human interaction on a regular basis. his response thrives on interaction and loves learning, therefore it will become bored quickly when left for long periods. It is important to provide your pet with plenty of stimulation through puzzles, toys and a variety of other activities to keep it busy and happy.
It is also important to feed your parrot an diet that includes various vegetables, fruits, and high-quality pellets. It is advised to avoid foods that are high in sugar, as this can cause your pet to suffer from diarrhea. Avoid feeding your African grey icebergs greens as well as other foods high in nitrogen, as they could cause kidney damage.
African greys are omnivores, and will eat many different food items, including eggs and meats, as well as fish and cheese. They also consume seeds, nuts, and whole grains. However, eating too much cheese can be detrimental to their health, since it can cause crop impactions and diarrhea. It is best to limit their intake of cheese to a small amount of the same size as a grape.
Toys
There are many toys that are specifically designed for parrots, including foraging and chewing toys that allow feeding to be more interactive. They also provide a lot of stimulation for the mind. These toys are made from materials that are safe for birds and are able to withstand a powerful beak. They allow your birds to satisfy their natural cravings for chewing.
A Pod Party is one example of a toy for foraging that African Greys love. This toy contains mahogany pods, which have a crunchy but soft texture that parrots love. It's strung on a tiny thin piece of natural hemp rope which makes it durable but not too loud for a parrot that might be sensitive to loud sounds.
African Greys are able to consume nuts, seeds and fruits. However they should be fed pellets so they can get all the minerals and vitamins they require. Pretty Bird is made specifically for birds, and Harrisons organic Pellets are two brands I recommend.
Training
If you are looking for a new pet to make your family more complete you might want to consider adopting one from a rescue organization. They can provide you with information about the character, health and the history of your new pet. They also provide courses on avian care. These courses can help teach your pet to talk, mimic and interact with other household members.
Parrots are very intelligent creatures and are able to learn the vast majority of words and phrases. It is essential to begin training them young. This can be done with respect and positive reinforcement. A well-trained parrot is content and loving and will form bonds with its family members. It will also learn how to be a loving companion for other animals. Parrots are very social animals and should be exposed to everyone in the household, and visitors frequently. If you do not socialize your parrot, they may become angry and display behavior such as squeezing and biting.
Once you've made a connection with your parrot and you are able to begin training it. Start with the basics such as getting it to step up. This can be done by putting your hand to the bird and asking it to take a step on it. Once it does, you can give it a treat. Over time, you will be able to advance to more advanced classes.
The diet of a parrot is vital to its health. It is crucial to provide it with a balanced diet of pellets, veggies and fruit. Birds fed solely seeds can develop a variety of serious health issues including obesity, kidney disease and heart disease. They can also suffer from nutritional deficiencies. A healthy diet will keep your pet healthy and active.
It is important to be fully committed to providing your pet with the care they need. If you are a busy person and can't commit to spending 3 to 5 hours each day with your parrot you may want to consider purchasing or adopting one from a rescue group. It's unfair to your pet to continually return it to its home due to changes in life.
