Tame and train your bird during your downtime. Infatuated Easy Instant infatuation is typical for parrots. So don t feel bad if Polly picks a new pal. It s natural for them to sound off at dawn and dusk, and vocalize during the day when something excites them. Sometimes seasonal changes hype up their hormones, making them call for a mate, but most of the time well-adjusted birds do not scream or squawk for hours on end.
Wild parrots fly, forage for food, chew on branches, crack seeds and nuts and, in short, keep busy.
A parrot with nothing to do is like a toddler without a toy. He s going to find a way to entertain himself, one way or another. Keep Polly stimulated, physically and mentally. Give him playthings, safe branches to chew on and an exercise area other than his cage. And most important, give him your company whenever you can.
