Parrots, conures and similar sized companion birds require a large amount of
physical attention. They require one hour or more of daily interaction. Smart
and easily trained, these birds should be taught basic commands such as "step
up" onto your hand and "step down" when putting them back into their cage. This
will ensure easier handling. With practice, you may be able to teach your bird
to say a variety of words.

Things to remember

Nutrition

Feed her 2-3 teaspoons per day of a pellet or seed-based, fortified conure or
small parrot diet.

Long-term companions

Before purchasing, be aware that a these birds require a long-term commitment of
approximately 20 to 30 years.

Supplements

Be sure to provide a cuttle bone or mineral block in your bird's cage at all
times.

Habitat

Your bird's cage must be large enough for her to comfortably stretch her wings,
climb and play with her toys. The bigger the cage, the better. The cage should
provide a secure area where she feels safe, but she should also be allowed out
of the cage for socialization.
