Birds cannot swim and will drown. Do not use sandpaper perch covers, grit, gravel or gravel paper. Do not smoke, or if you do, do not smoke around your bird. Nicotine is deadly to birds, not only in second hand smoke, but it also comes through the pores of the skin of the smoker's hands and can cause severe contact reaction. Do not cook with a bird on your shoulder.
Kitchens can be very dangerous.
Do not purchase toys for your bird that have dog leash type clips or jingle type bells. My life is likely to last 10 or more years. Any separation from you will be painful to me. Remember that before you take me home. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
