Info
All Parrots need stimulation with toys and activities.
Their environment should be as secure as possible, with dangers, such as wires, cables, and electrical equipment being kept as far away from them as possible.

Parrots are very strong, and can cause a lot of damage, so you must be prepared.
Parrots do destroy things, so all toys need to be tested before being given to a bird, (If you can break it, imagine what the bird can do to it!)

For anyone who has never kept a parrot before, I would suggest that you spend some time with a breeder or bird keeper, so that you can learn first hand the power and abilities of the parrots, and also their general and specialist care.
