Toys are also important for parrots to alleviate boredom. You can buy toys at pet shops, but birds may be just as happy amusing themselves with household objects like wooden curtain rings or empty wooden cotton reels, and fresh natural branches. Parrots enjoy bathing, and need to bathe when they are moulting. They may spray your room with water, due to energetic bathing. You can buy purpose built bath houses at pet shops, with surrounds to keep most of the water in.
Some parrots enjoy being sprayed gently with lukewarm water from a plant spray bottle.
Don't add anything to the water - it could harm your bird. You need to clean food and water dishes every day. All uneaten fresh food should be removed at least once, and preferably twice a day. The sand at the bottom of the cage should be changed at least twice a week, and the entire cage should be cleaned at least once a month using just plain water. Check with your vet for safe products if you need to disinfect the cage, for example, if you have a new arrival.
