I can’t express enough, read as much as you can and then some… You’ll want to know as much as you can about the baby you wish to add to your household. It is important to understand your babies wants, needs and his personality traits. Since this will be a lifetime commitment, you will want to make sure the species you choose is compatible with your personality and lifestyle.

So, you’re thinking of getting a new best friend or adding a friend to one you already have.
It makes a difference in your happiness and theirs if you are living with a species of bird that is compatible with your lifestyle and personality. You should take time to consider your individual personality and your pet bird’s natural temperament before making a commitment.

Buying a pet bird is a major responsibility, and one of the most important things to consider is the attention and care he is going to require. By nature, birds are social creatures and will require your love, guidance and interaction daily. I want you to be able to make an informed choice, not an impulsive one, I encourage you to read as much as possible about the species you have chosen before you make a life-long commitment that comes with owning a bird. 

The Cage you choose will be a large expense, in fact they can be a bit pricey- from $30 to $3500. Keeping in mind your baby’s comfort, you will want to purchase the largest cage you can afford and one that will fit into the space you have chosen for him. You will be looking for a sturdy cage with heavy gauge powder coated steel bars that will provide ample room for your baby to spread his wings and shake his tail!

I would recommend nothing smaller that a 42″ cage for a Macaw, and nothing smaller than a 36″ cage for an African Grey. You will want your baby to be happy so the placement of his cage will be important. Try placing him by a window, allowing him an area that he is able to move out of the direct sunshine if need be. Load it up with assorted toys, a blankie, different shapes of perches along with concrete perches to help groom his nails. Don’t forget the stainless steel food dishes and a glass lixit water bottle.

It is important to bring the baby out of his cage daily to socialize with the family. However sometimes we can not always hold him. The T-Stand provides a safe place for him to play while watching you and not getting into something he shouldn’t be. Another great option is a room or area dedicated to just him. Imagine a large structure made from tree branches allowing him to free range all the while being under supervision.

Your bird is very intelligent, you will want to provide him with lots of toys! Toys of all shapes, colors, textures and sizes. Toys that give them challenges. Toys should be changed out once a month or so to help keep him from becoming bored. Toys can be pricey, but you can try your creativity in making your own, starting with leftover toy parts from toys they have destroyed as well as cardboard, beads, chain- plastic or metal, cloth and rope. I have found infant toys to be a very good substitute. Let your imagination go wild and have fun!
