Deciding On The Right Parrot Stands


Finding the right parrot stands to work in your house can be difficult because there are so many options. But because there are so many options, it is possible to find the one that is right for your family, and for your parrot.

The most important deciding factor is the width of the branches. This is important because the wrong size will cause pain to your parrot, and can actually lead to some serious leg deformities if left untreated. A stand that is too narrow will cause a parrot's foot to cramp and will not allow them to rest comfortably because they have to hold on tight to remain balanced on the narrow stand. Stands that are too wide will also cause cramps and the parrot has even more trouble balancing because he can't hold on well enough.

The next thing you will have to figure out is what you will be using your parrot stand for, and how long you plan on leaving your parrot there. Your parrot will still need to be kept in a cage when unsupervised to avoid him getting into trouble, so the stand is not the only place your parrot will live. Parrots that will get plenty of supervision and be allowed to stay on the stand for hours at a time will need a lot of toys and multiple levels to climb on, as well as access to food and water. For short training periods, a much simpler stand is needed without anything extra, and you can find everything in between.

Once you have your ideal stand in mind, you need to decide where to place it in your home. It's important to be sure it's in a place that is safe for your parrot in that it's away from direct sunlight, drafty areas, and other pets. You will also need to be sure that it's somewhere that there will be people to watch and interact with him. Leaving a parrot unattended for too long is just asking for him to find bad ways to amuse himself.

The last thing to note is the level at which you will need to place your parrot stand. It's important that your parrot be just lower than eye level with people so that they do feel secure and a part of the family. However, allowing parrot stands to be up too high will put the parrot in a dominant position, which sometimes leads to aggression.
