Parrots in the house

Have you ever gone to the zoo yourself and / or with your children? Were in the corner for birds? Did you see a macaw macaw? Most likely, your children at the sight of this parrot immediately began to ask them to buy the same. Yes, and you yourself are probably burning with the idea of acquiring such a parrot. So, you, firmly convinced of your decision, and your children, full of joyful hopes and looking forward to the appearance of a beautiful colored bird in their room, return home, call your friend the parrot breeder with the question of how much the macaw parrot costs, and ...

The final of this story can be different. Or you, with your eyes bulging and listening with horror to the price of $ 20,000, tell yourself and the children that there can be no question of buying such a parrot. Or, just by asking about the cost and hearing the answer, gleefully rub your hands and grab the phone, dial the number of the kennel "Parrots Ara" flashing on the screen. It all depends on your financial situation. But it is worth remembering that a parrot needs a cheap forged cage or even an enclosure (of course, without plastic parts), special food, vitamins, etc. But if you are ready for such costs ... Okay, let's drop the financial part.

If you still decided to have such a pet, then first of all you need to take care of the cage. Such birds, like parrots of macaw, require special housing. For them, a forged cage is needed. Do not take a plastic cage! With his powerful beak, the parrot will instantly break it into pieces. It must be completely metal. The best variant of habitation for a parrot ara is an enclosure with a cage adjacent to it so that the pet can make its flights in it, because if he flies around the house, he will start to be interested in the surrounding objects and try them on the tooth, that is, on the beak (for example, Your desk). The size of the cell, more precisely, the "aviary + cage" design, should be approximately the following:

"Why is the cage and the cage so big?" - you ask. How else? If you take the chick parrot nestling home, then be prepared that it grows 1 meter long from the head to the tip of the tail. In the apartment, such a cage and such a parrot, probably, will not fit, so, in addition to zoos, in captivity birds in such "rooms" can be found except in suburban homes. But in stores are sold and relatively small cells about 1.5x1x2 m in size. Sellers in the specialized departments know what kind of birds are the parrots of the macaw. Therefore, any of them will help you with choosing a suitable cell. It looks something like this:

So, you bought the cage. Now you need to take care of the stern for your parrot. In general, their diet consists of cereals. Now many large pet stores sell special food for large parrots. It is in large, because in kiosks with pet food, normal food can not be found. If you tell a merchant that you live with macaw parrots, he will respond that he can not help you. In addition to grain feeds, such juicy fuchs (pears, apples, bananas), vegetables (cucumbers, carrots), berries (hips, raspberries, blackberries) can also be given to such birds. Fatty foods (nuts, seeds) should not be more than a quarter of the diet. You can give the parrot some vitamins, but only for the veterinarian.

Finally, the food and the cages are bought and stand, waiting for their time. It remains only to buy the one who will use them - the most parrot. These birds, like dogs with cats, are recommended to buy in a specialized nursery along with documents and veterinary passport to avoid unwanted diseases. There are several types of macaw parrots. The most common of them are:

1. Green-winged / Red-green macaw

2. Red-Shouldered / Chestnut-Bitten Macaw

3. Red Macaw / Macao

4. Small soldier's macaw

5. The syringe ara

6. The blue-yellow macaw
