You can give the birds worms, but if this option is unacceptable, then you need to offer them several times a week a finely chopped hard-boiled egg. Well they eat and homemade cheese. This allows you to replenish the body of a parrot with animal proteins. In addition, the bird should always have access to chalk - a source of calcium. It can be put in a cage.

Content

It is worthwhile to carefully choose the cell. It is desirable to acquire a large one. And put it in a bright place. The cage should have toys, poles and ladders. Rosella parrots love open space, so do not forget to at least occasionally let them out of the cage. The birds are friendly, trying to please people. They are very smart. But they are not recommended to start them to those who before that did not contain parrots at all. After being tamed, you need to constantly pay attention to them. Otherwise, it is fraught with loud “screams” and damage to household property. By the way, Rosella parrots always like to nibble something. And so that interior items are not in their field of vision, it is better to give the parrot twigs or toys.

Recommendations

And one more practical recommendation. Do not keep them together with budgies. On the Internet there is a photo of a budgie after the “battle” with rosella. The sight is not for the faint of heart. How did the kid survive after this? The budgerigar simply did not have half the head.
