How do you take care of a parrot? This is a very good question and let's get to the answer. First of all, when it comes to taking care of a parrot, there are at least three distinct things that you must have to properly take care of him or her. These three things are essential to your brand new adopted parrot's well being. They are also essential to your parrot's life span. These three things are a well balanced diet. A large enough birdcage where he can grow and prosper, and a endless supply of fresh water.

Well balanced Diet

Don't assume that just because a parrot is a bird that all they want to eat are seeds. This is very far from the case. As a matter of fact, parrots eat a whole list of different foods, and if you want to know how to properly take care of them, then you should be prepared to keep them happy by feeding them different things. Parrots can eat a whole host of fresh fruits and vegetables which include: apples, bananas, melons, pineapples, carrots, sweet potatoes, cucumbers, green beans and corn. When you put these fresh fruits and vegetables TOGETHER with a high quality seed mix, then you have the makings of a happy and healthy parrot!

Birdcage

Two differing sides of the same debate here. One side says to buy a aviary, which is a very huge cage that you can keep many birds in, and the other side says to just buy a large birdcage. I'm not going to recommend one over the other because both do an excellent job. My argument is not everyone can afford an aviary, and if you can't then a big birdcage will do the trick. Whatever you do, the cage should be big enough so that your parrot's feathers are not sticking out of it!

Water

A constant supply of fresh drinking water will be much appreciated by your newly adopted bird. This should be changed EVERYDAY! I say everyday because parrots can get quite messy and stale water sucks! Whatever you do with your own diet should reflect in your parrots diet. If you drink fresh water everyday, then so should your parrot!

When it comes to taking care of a parrot, if you follow these three essential things, then you can't go wrong. Taking care of a parrot might seem like a hard task, but just like anything else, if you pay attention and stay the course, it will eventually be like second nature to you! Good Luck!

If you are on the fence about adopting a parrot and the only thing stopping you from taking that next step is how to take care of a parrot... then allow me to direct you to a website that can answer that question...and more! This website is specifically dedicated to parrot care and it can answer ALL of your questions concerning parrots.

How do I keep large black birds away from my bird feeders?

I have bird feeders in my yard to feed the tiny little birds that fly about, especially this time of year when it's really cold. The problem I am having is that there are alot of crow / black birds in our area and they are absolutely relentless when it comes to the bird feeders. I really don't care for these black birds at all. They eat or destroy all the food for the little birds in a short amount of time. Does any one have a sensible solution to this bird problem, besides shooting the black birds. We have plenty of woods and fields for these black birds to hang out in....Not my bird feeders!

First of all why are you feeding birds anyway? Let alone the black ones...wait, is this about humans or animals. It's hard to tell the difference most of the time.

It is most beneficial to feed wild birds during the winter months when their natural food may be unavailable but shortages do occur at other times of the year. So putting food out for the wild birds at any time of year can help when there are shortages. During the breeding season a temporary shortage of food will affect the young fledglings so it is especially helpful to put out food for the birds at this time.

Feeding in the Spring and Summer

During the summer and especially when they are moulting, birds need high protein foods. Good examples to put in your feeder are raisins, currents, black sunflower seeds, grated cheese, meal worms, soaked sultanas and commercially prepared summer seed mixtures. You can also purchase mixes for insect loving wild birds.

For fruit eating birds put out grapes, bananas, apples or pears, suitably chopped into smaller pieces. Avoid the use of peanuts, bread or fats as they can be harmful if taken back to baby birds. Home made fat balls are not really a good idea as they quickly go off in the warm weather. Commercially prepared fat bars are better and last for around three weeks before they must be thrown away.

During unseasonably cold or wet weather there may insect shortages. If the weather is very dry earthworms become difficult to catch. For birds with young in the nest they will be tempted by food on bird tables during these times so it is essential to make sure any food you put out is suitable for the young birds. Never put out loose peanuts, large pieces of bread, fats or hard, dry food at this time as these can be fatal if taken back to feed the baby birds.

Feeding in the Fall and Winter

During the colder months put food out for the birds regularly, twice a day if possible, especially in very cold weather. The birds need high energy food during this time so foods high in fats are particularly suitable. Put out good quality food and remove any uneaten food regularly.

Attracting Birds to Your Feeder

You can attract different species of birds to your garden by providing the food they like in a suitable feeder.
