How should a novice choose a healthy grey parrot? How to raise it in daily life?

Everyone's first impression of parrots should be that they can imitate people's speech. If properly raised, it can bring great fun to life, but the life span of different species of parrots is not the same. Generally, the life span of a gray parrot is 45 years. However, it is very important to choose a healthy gray parrot. You can judge its hearing by patting the cage. It is necessary to observe the parrot's eyes, so that you can judge its young age. A lively bird must be healthier. Just ensure three meals a day when feeding, and buy some bird food, but it is also necessary to pay attention to the feeding method and supplement vitamins, calcium and other nutrients.

Generally, if the eyes of gray parrots are black and white or yellow and white, it proves that they are old, and the eyes of young birds are black and white. When choosing gray parrots, it is best to choose non-wild parrots, because they are not only active, but also come to play with you on their own initiative. If a bird likes to call, it must be a wild flying parrot, which is not suitable for breeding. When buying a gray parrot, you'd better not listen to the boss's strong recommendation. They will probably recommend some wild gray parrots or adult gray parrots for you to judge for yourself. In addition, if the feces are abnormal, the parrot may be sick.

Grey parrots can usually eat three or four meals, but the bird food they buy must be mixed with a small amount of hot water, and some young birds will scramble to eat it. Don't feed them too fast, or they will easily block their throats. Vitamins, minerals and calcium can promote the growth and development of young birds, but they cannot be supplemented excessively. You can make it up once every two or three days. Generally, after six months, gray parrots can change from liquid food to normal bird food, and change food and water at least once a day. Only by keeping it clean and tidy can it grow healthily.

To sum up, if you want to raise a gray parrot, you must be patient and responsible. Some parrots are born dumb. Don't let them be left out in the cold for a long time, otherwise it will easily lead to mental diseases such as trichotillomania. Gray parrots also need company, so they can soothe their hearts by playing with some toys.
