How To Take Care Of African Grey Parrots
Known as the “Einstein of the parrot world,” African grey parrots are one of the most fascinating bird species, making them popular with parrot enthusiasts. They require lots of care, but they’re loyal and trusting pets.
African grey parrots need hours of mental stimulation to keep them entertained.
They require a balanced diet of pellets, fresh fruits and vegetables, seeds, nuts, and grains. They sleep for 12-14 hours at night and must have a dark, quiet place to sleep.
They also need plenty of exercise and out-of-cage time.
When searching for a cage, make sure it’s a minimum of 36 x 24 x 48 inches, with at least three perches and a newspaper lining.
A common question prospective owners want to know is, “are African grey parrots hard to take care of?” They’re best for experienced owners, but they love the company of their caregivers and spend countless hours entertaining them with the right training.
