Birds need something to keep it entertained. Keep a variety of toys to periodically change out so they don't get bored with one toy.

You can cover your birds cage at night to give them a since of security and quiet time.

Purchase a cage with a slide out bottom. This makes cleaning much easier.

Regular baths cut down on the amount of "bird dust". Their feathers will look much prettier and shinier too.

Don't feed your bird Avocado and chocolate - they are toxic to birds.

If you are using non-stick pots, pans, etc., make sure that the kitchen is well ventilated as the fumes are toxic to birds. Opening a window and running the fan over the stove will help the fumes disperse.

Healthy, relaxed birds will often perch on one foot.

If you do not have enough time to play with your bird as you should, buy it a friend! Birds can get quite lonely if they do not have a companion, whether it be you or another bird.
