Birds in the wild are encircled by an
amazingly vast, beautiful and always changing environment that is also full of
challenge, opportunity, risk and reward.
Parrots are free to define their own territory,
choose their mates, search for interesting new foraging spots, decide what to
eat, where to perch and where to sleep.
We cannot come close to mimicking all
the options that are available to parrots in nature, but as responsible parrot companions, it is
up to us to recreate, to the best of our ability, an enriched environment that
addresses our birds physical, emotional and instinctual needs.
We can accomplish this by:
-
educating ourselves
as to their specific environmental needs,
-
careful selection of safe
cages and accessories,
-
properly controlling their climate,
-
providing the
proper balance of light and dark,
-
maintaining a clean and healthy environment,
and
-
providing them opportunities to explore and interact with their
surroundings.
Each of these areas of critical importance is
discussed in further detail within our related articles and information sections.
