Interaction/Time Requirements, Diet, Supplies Needed	Parrots are escape artists, be sure to secure the cage or aviary. Aviaries are sold ready for home assembly. Parrots can also be hand reared, provided that they have a large cage and are taken out of their cage on a daily basis to prevent boredom, as it may result in the parrot pulling out its feathers to occupy itself. Parrots do well in aviaries and/or cages. They don't like to be in crowded spaces and will sometimes be aggressive towards other birds if they don't have enough space. They require a warm habitat for the winter months. Do not allow your birds outdoors until all signs of frost are gone. Space is important and indoor cages should be as large as possible. A large cage is required even if the bird is going to spend lots of time out of its habitat with you. They eat a foreign seed mixture that contains various millets and other small seeds such as niger, pellets, fruits, and vegetables. You need to change food and water twice daily, and clean the cage at least once a day, replacing toys and broken climbing branches.
