African Grey Parrots have the potential to make for very interesting and fun pets to have. They are very intelligent birds which, although, can make your home life with them very fun, can also bring about more negative things. Due to this high level of intelligence, African Greys can get very bored and stressed if they are caged. This can then lead to health problems and can even send them as far as feather plucking.
Keeping your African Grey parrot happy and healthy will not only mean that they are more fun and energetic to have around, with good behavior, but it will also avoid a wide array of health problems that could otherwise crop up.
To keep them happy, it is wise that you keep them regularly checked up with the vet, despite their hardiness, they can be susceptible to health issues like feather mites, so it is good to keep them checked-up on.
You should also give them the largest cage you can. Give them plenty of perches, toys, fruit branches, and more. The more branches they have, the more they will have to chew and scratch on. You should also give them a space near a window, but with the option for shade on very sunny days.
Make sure your Parrot has the freedom to fly about as well, you could even construct a small aviary, keeping them exercised is key to happiness and health. Similarly, getting plenty of sunshine is important too, these birds actually like sunbathing, so make sure they have that open.
Sleep and high-quality, vet-recommended food, regular baths of sand and water, are all also very important in your Parrots' happiness. If you can do all these things, you will have a very happy Parrot with a very high quality of life.
