Raising a parrot is very important for the further welfare of the animal and for the relationship between you and your bird. You will find a lot of tips on our website.   

Young fed by hand are tame after a few weeks. You can be sure that your parrot is a true house bird when you buy him. So you can let your parrot eat out of your hand and sit on your arm or shoulder. He or she is guaranteed to become a beloved member of your family. 
 

Yes, of course it can! Make sure you leave him in the cage for the first 14 days. In the beginning he can explore the surroundings and get to know the people living in the house. 

If your bird often stays outside, it can get worms by coming into contact with other animals. You may notice this when his appetite is considerably reduced. It is best to have your bird treated as soon as possible. 

When your bird starts plucking its feathers, something's wrong. This could indicate a clogged coccyx gland or broken pin feathers. By snagging its cage, your bird may break a pin feather. They like the powder that is subsequently released, so they continue to eat it. However, this can be very harmful for your bird. 
 
You should definitely remove the broken pin feather. Take a towel, put it over the bird and pull the pin feather out. Don't you feel sure enough about this? Then go see a vet. 

Just like a human being, a parrot absolutely needs his night's rest. Provide a quiet environment, in the dark, where the bird can sleep enough.

Never approach your bird with both hands at the same time to grab it. He'll consider this a threat. Pet him with one hand at a time. If you have to hold your bird to move it, for example, it is best to put a towel over it.
