Interaction/Time Requirements, Diet, Supplies Needed	Aviaries are sold ready for home assembly. All species of parrot do well in aviaries and 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. 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. 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. You need to change food and water twice daily, and clean the cage at least once a day, replacing toys and broken climbing branches. Parrots are escape artists, be sure to secure the cage or aviary.
