Habitat
Parrots need a spacious cage that is made of strong, chew-proof material. The cage should be high enough for the parrot to stretch its wings fully and wide enough for it to move around comfortably. The cage should also have several perches of different sizes and shapes, as well as toys to keep the parrot entertained.

* Fruits and vegetables: dark leafy greens, carrots, apples, berries, etc.
