? The Cage - When buying a cage, make sure that the cage is large enough to provide adequate exercise for your birds. The largest dimensions should be with respect to length and width, height. How big or how small the cage should be is a function of how much time the bird spends in its cage. The more time it spends in there, the bigger the cage should be and vice versa. The cage should be fitted with perches of varying sizes so that your bird can properly exercise its feet.

? Food - Fresh seed mix should make up no more than 20 % of its food source. Seeds are high in both protein and fat, so anything more than 1/5 the energy intake would be unhealthy for the bird. Vegetables and fruit should make up the other 80%. Don't over feed your animal. This will put unnecessary stress on the birds bone structure.

? Keep your bird away from common household dangers. These include cats and dogs, plants, paint, ceiling fans, vacuum cleaners and open toilet bowls. Birds often unknowing find themselves in compromising situations when confronted with these household objects.
