Setting Up Living Space For An African Grey Parrot by Talkingparrot12(m): 11:22am On Jun 08
An African grey parrot is a very entertaining pet. They can speak and learn many tricks. To get unlimited entertainment, proper caring is mandatory and a perfect living space setup is a part of their care requirements. In this topic, we will discuss how to set up a proper living space for an African grey parrot.

Cage Size and Location

First, setting up a living place for African greys is the proper cage size and setting it in the perfect place. The recommended minimum cage size of the bird is 36"x24"x36" for one parrot. Multiple birds need larger sizes. The cage should be kept in a place where drafts and direct sunlight can’t reach. 

Perches

The parrot’s living space should have perches where they can sit easily. This is very important for their physical and mental growth. The birds have strong feet that’s why they need proper exercise. Provide them different types of perches that will have different sizes and textures. When they will sit on the different perches it will be a great exercise for their feet. The perches can be wooden dowels, rope perches, or natural branches.

Toys and Enrichment

The African grey parrots are the most intelligent parrot species in the world. That’s why they need a lot of mental stimulation. Provide the birds toys and involve them in the enrichment activities. Choose different types of toys such as puzzle toys, chew toys, foraging toys, and swings. It will help you to keep your parrots entertained and engaged.

Food and Water Bowls

For keeping the birds healthy proper and enough water are very important. Easy access to fresh water is mandatory. Keep water bowls in the cage. So, they can drink water on their tristy. For their food, put a stainless steel or ceramic bowl in the cage and securely attach it with the cage. A nutritious balanced diet such as fresh fruits, vegetables, and high-quality pellet mix keep in the food bowl.

Proper Cleaning and Maintenance

Regularly cleaning and maintaining is very important for the good health of the African grey parrots. Daily cleaning of the living space is good and weekly deep cleaning is highly recommended. Replace any soiled or chewed toys, and regularly wash their food bowls and water bowls with soap and water.
