What are the care and feeding of the African Grey Parrot?
African Greys need lots of toys to occupy them. They require human companionship as well and should spend a lot of free time out of the cage and interacting with you. Cages should be fairly large, but not round. It’s important to make your house bird-safe, particularly the kitchen where they can get into a lot of trouble, sometimes with pots on the stove. It’s not advisable to clip the wings of the African Grey Parrot as it can affect their balance and cause injury when they try to fly. Foods to avoid feeding are chocolate, avocado, caffeine, alcohol, apple seeds, salt and rhubarb.The place where you purchase your African Grey Parrot should tell you about their diet. Pellets and vegetables, especially green leafy ones should make up the main part of the diet. It may be advisable to give a vitamin supplement. In any case, check with your veterinarian.
