It is extremely important to do loads of research about the pet you are considering before you buy them. This will usually ensure you don't hurt/kill the bird somehow, and makes you feel more confident. Most books regarding pet birds will give you tips to owning your new bird/ will include useful information of what not to do with your bird. I also highly recommend reading up on your bird's species and talking to your local exotic pet veterinarian(s)- they can definitely help you with caring for your new pet.

Here is a list of the basics (which I'm sure other contributors will add to overtime):

Do's:

  • Regular feeding, regular maintanence of your bird's cage
  • spending a lot of time with your new pet
  • always keeping an eye on your bird
  • regular wing clippings
  • regular nail clippings
  • keeping your pet out of harms way (i.e. cats, dogs, boiling pots,)
  • keeping poisonous plants out of reach of your pet bird
  • paying attention to your bird's health condition (looking for signs of illness)
  • feeding your bird a balanced diet of not just seeds!
  • giving your birds lots of toys to play with

Don't's:

  • ignoring your bird
  • letting problem behaviors develop without any attempt to fix them
  • not clipping their wings
  • squeezing him/her rough handling
  • failing to trim their nails
  • failure to have them checked out by a liscensed vetrinarian
  • ignoring signs of illness
  • neglecting your bird
  • feeding a diet of only seeds
  • feeding your pet poisonous foods such as chocolate or avocados
