Red-rumped Parrot cage and daily life
Provide a flight cage at least 36 x 24 x 36 inches (90 x 60 x 90 cm) with 1/2-5/8 inch bar spacing, a flat perch or shelf, and floor space for foraging; plus 2-3 hours out of the cage. They enjoy bathing; keep away from kitchens (Teflon/PTFE fumes are fatal).
Common mistakes with Red-rumped Parrots
Common errors are an all-seed diet causing fatty liver, nonstick-fume or toxic-food exposure, and too little flight/foraging space. Assuming they are hands-on pets when they are naturally aviary birds is also a mistake.
