How to Care For Your Bird

Return to Parakeet Home Page

 

All parrots’ wings should be clipped to prevent flight. There are a dozen good reasons for this. Nails also need to be clipped. Frequent, minor clippings are better than waiting two or three months. Until you are properly trained, have all grooming work done by a vet or groomer. Make sure that you spend time with your parrot. Small parrots can live 25 years and large ones up to 75 years and may well outlive you.
