Frequently Asked Questions

What size cage does my bird need?

The cage should be large enough for your bird to fully extend its wings and move around comfortably. A good rule is: bigger is always better. The minimum varies by species.

What should I feed my pet bird?

A balanced diet typically includes quality pellets as the base, supplemented with fresh fruits, vegetables, and occasional seeds as treats. Avoid avocado, chocolate, and caffeine.
