MAINTENANCE
There are certain things that the African Grey needs to be healthy and happy. a spacious enclosure, approximately 2 feet deep by 3 feet wide by 4 feet high, with occasional access to fresh air, rain, and sunshine. These parrots are highly intelligent and need stimulating activities and affection, ample playtime outside their cages is suggested. ideally, inside the enclosure they will have a play pin top, and toys can be kept inside or outside the cage to keep your Grey active. When purchasing a cage, the best choice is one with horizontal bars, this will assist with climbing up and down the sides. It is always important to keep the cage clean with detergent and water or bird safe disinfectant. when purchasing bedding, newspaper is typically the best, as organic bedding, if ingested, can cause illness or death. The cage should be placed in a busy place in your home, as these birds are social animals and will be happiest with many people around.
