They require a great deal of attention, and you will need to set aside a period each day for one-on-one interaction with your parrot. This socialization is the key to establishing and maintaining a healthy bond with your bird.

The bird may seem small, but it still needs room to move and play. Keep the bird occupied while you are not available by outfitting the cage with ladders, perches, and interactive toys.

Speech and Vocalizations

These parrots may not screech as much as others, but they can be rather noisy at times. They are, nevertheless, outstanding talkers and singers. You can educate these birds to have a rather large vocabulary of words that they can speak with human-like clarity, but be careful what you say. They’re also notorious for picking up (and persistently recalling) phrases you’d rather the bird forget.

Reproduction

At this point, they form permanent alliances. Courtship begins when the weather warms up, which is usually around April or May. A clutch normally contains 3-4 eggs. After hatching, the young can leave the nest after around 8-12 weeks. The male guards the nest from the outside during incubation and weaning, never entering it. The male gets nourishment for himself and his female, which causes him to become less specific in his hunting. He regurgitates food for the female when he returns to the nest.
