Parrot Breeder as Parent
Parrot breeders play an important role in the lives of the baby parrots they raise. In the beginning they adopt the role of being the parrot’s guardian and literally act as their parent. How they raise the baby Parrot will have a huge impact on the formation of your Parrot’s personality and the relationship with them as they grow into an adult.

A good Parrot breeder will specialize in specific breeds and know how to raise and care for the baby parrot so they have every chance of growing into a happy and healthy Parrot.

A Great Source of Information
The parrot breeder is one of your best sources of information on parrot care. Everything from what the best parrot cage is, to parrot diet, training and tricks, parrot health and hygiene. They will also be able to give you valuable information and tips on building a bond with your parrot.

Parrot breeders need to know how to react to illnesses and treat them right away. Some tips for beginning parrot breeders is to always keep an eye on the temperature of the chicks’ surroundings and make sure it stays at about 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

Birds can make wonderful pets and companions and there are many different birds to choose from. Birds very easily reproduce in captivity; even the novice owner can breed them. Experienced aviculturists create new color varieties of these birds.

African grey parrots have been kept as pets for over 4000 years. The Egyptians are thought to be the first to keep the African grey parrot as pets. They are even depicted in their hieroglyphics. African grey parrot breeders usually have a variety of parrots available in their aviary.

African Grey’s are fed a varied diet including pellets, fruits, vegetables, and a few nuts. The parrot breeder will usually tell you what to avoid feeding chocolate, dairy, salty foods, avocado, rhubarb, to your parrot as these are toxic to birds.

Parrot breeders used feed mixes that contain both pellets and grains designed to supplement the daily nutritional needs of parrots. The pellets are specially formulated for the parrot while the seeds are additional supplement to the pellets.

Parrots need proper light in order to be fully healthy, and regular indoor lighting is inadequate for them. Like all living things they need natural light, a bit of sun each day is good for the health and wellbeing.

Parrots are like humans. If left alone, they pick foods they prefer by sight, smell or personal taste preferences, often leaving the most nutritious and healthy foods on the bottom of the cage. Just like a child.

Parrots can carry illness for a long time before becoming ill. Fortunately, using the latest in medical technology we can get a good look on “inside” to detect health problems these days. In fact there are veterinarians who specialize in birds.

Every Parrot loves to play, like any young member of a family they play to learn, or simply to be amused. Play time is a great way to build a bond with your parrot and for you to really enjoy them. When it comes to toys, thankfully they are not left out with a terrific range of parrot toys and accessories to cater for even the most demanding bird.

The Parrot breeder is a great source of knowledge and information for you. Like you they are Parrot lovers.
