African Parrots - About.
African parrots include Jardines, Senegals, Ruppells, and Meyers, they are smallish, and not expensive to buy. African parrots in general are more likely to be more sedate than most other parrots,and like their environment to be calm. Surprisingly perhaps, as Africa is the biggest continent where parrota are found,, it only has four genera..
Cage For Parrots.
Cages for Senegals need not be overly big, they like the security of smaller cages, a good adequate cage for a Senegal is around 19 by 19 inches.Do not fill the cage with lots of furniture and cramp the movement of your bird. As to placement of your cage and African parrots, never put the cage near or in your kitchen, or where fumes from cooking etc can reach your parrot, keep out of direct sunlight as your parrot may overheat. Placing near doors and windows gives a risk of droughts.
Parrots As Pets.
The African parrots are very popular as pets, being intelligent, and with continual obedience training by a devoted owner, they are an easy parrot to train and teach to talk. Being more on the quiet side, they are not ideal pets for children.
African Parrots - Care.
What you have to do in the first instance, is give due consideration as to the costs for you, not only the parrot, but the cost of a cage, the ongoing costs of food and vet checks, the toys you need, and most importantly what time you can give the parrot. By weighing all this up, you will be in a much better position to buy the parrot closest to what you can afford, along with the time you can give it. Remember, a parrot in good health can live 30 to 50 years or more.
Feeding African Parrots.
Feed for African parrots is varied, though not all is known of their complete feeding habits, but this mixed diet works well, pear, apple, sprouts, cabbage, butter beans, split peas, mung, chick peas, beans, sunflower seeds, safflower, millet, oats and pine nuts. You can add vitamin or mineral supplement but not necessary if the nutritional needs are met of the parrot.
