• Birds need to be fed every day and their cage cleaned at least twice a week.   Many are able to amuse themselves but parrots like human company.

• They should be kept in as big a cage or aviary as possible to give them room to exercise their wings.  This should be in a draught free, warm environment.

• Birds will not usually talk if kept with other birds, however, it is a very lonely existence on their own.

• Costs vary according to type of bird and cage.  A budgie won't cost much nor will a small cage, but more exotic varieties could be costly as can flight cages and aviaries.

• Mobility not an issue.
