Parrot Equipment

A few essentials one should purchase include obviously a cage, cage cover, bird carrier, food and water dishes, cuttle bone, bath dish, toys, perches, and a first aid kit for birds. Of course their are ton of other things and you don't have to buy everything for example for a cage cover use a suitable sheet or blanket and for the bird bath use a dish or something that your parrot can bathe in. Also if you travel a lot you might want a cage suitable for traveling. These of course are the additional expenses when it comes to owning a parrot.

The cage is a must every parrot should have cage even though their are owners who allow them to live cage free. A carrier or traveling cage is also a must for safe and easy transportation for vet visits, outings, sun exposure, or emergencies. The cage cover is also a must to ensure adequate hours of darkness for a good nights sleep. You can either buy a cage cover or use old sheets. The cage cover should allow some light to pass through.

Then their are other obvious things your companion need like food and water dishes, toys etc. I recommend a first aid kit or at the very least some styptic powder in case of bleeding. It's is always better to have something and not need it then need it and not have it.

I didn't find a video relating to this and I been having trouble loading pictures onto blogger so here's a video of a dancing lovebird. Sadly my camera broke so I might not post my original pictures and videos any time soon except for the one that I haven't loaded up yet. By the way I don't think the lovebird is dancing it might be trying to mate like that Kapako had done in the other video.
