Parrots are interesting and charismatic birds, whose behavior is sometimes touching and even surprising.
The bird does not require much space, but it is better to keep it in a cage, otherwise it will simply fly away through an open window, regardless of the season.
Usually, parrots sit quietly in the cage or actively jump around the territory, playing and frolicking with their neighbors.
But sometimes the parrot may start to chew the cage too actively, which causes concern for the owner.
Why does a parrot chew its cage?
First of all, you should pay attention to the natural characteristics of the bird - in fact, it may be exploring the space or it may just be bored. Try adding toys.
It is also important to understand that the cage should be proportionate to the size of the parrot - it may try to get out.
A bird may instinctively gnaw metal due to a lack of minerals in its body. This behavior may also be caused by stress.
