How Do You Care For A Pacific Parrotlet?
Pacific parrotlets are one of the world’s smallest parrots with an average size of only 5 to 6 inches. They are not known for being loud like conures or other parrots. Parrotlets actually have a finch-like chirp that is coupled with a sweet personality, making them a very popular pet. Read on to learn how to care for a Pacific parrotlet. Purchase a bird cage that has at least 2 square feet of floor space with bars that are spaced half-inch apart. The cage should have a metal grate on the bottom that separates the bird from its droppings. Fill the bottom tray with corn cob to act as an easily changed and inexpensive substrate. Place the bird’s cage in an area of your home that is away from drafts and direct sunlight. The cage should be somewhere where the bird can see you often. Affix plenty of half-inch-diameter perches in the enclosure. Parrotlets enjoy hopping from perches and playing with toys so provide several of each. Fill a water bowl with non-chlorinated water.
