Meyers Parrots - Lovingly Hand Reared in Devon
THE MEYERS PARROT
The Meyers are known for their quiet playfulness, their beautiful coloration, and their suitability as companion birds.
They're not great talkers, but can learn a reasonable vocabulary, depending on the individual bird and the owner's willingness to spend time training.
Vocalization:
The Meyers Parrot are not screamers or otherwise loud or noisy. Most of their sounds are low key whistles and assorted chattering.
Activities:
The Meyers Parrot love hanging, swinging, and climbing. Toys such as chopsticks, olympic rings and a bell on a chain are favorites. They love to cuddle, climb onto your lap, shoulder sitting, and otherwise tucking their head into your neck.
The Meyers parrot love to have their head scratched, and will often lie on their back in your hand, totally limp, while you scratch away.
They love bathing and usually bathe a couple of times per week if you provide them with a good sized bath.
Generally these parrots are able to get along well with other companion parrots of diverse species without displaying the jealously common to many species in that situation.
Cage Requirements:
The Meyers Parrot can be nicely housed in an 18"x 18" x 24" cage. Bar spacing of 1" or 7/8" is preferred; 1/2" or 5/8" spacing is too close and will cause ragged tail feathers. A good rule of thumb on cage size is that smallest dimension should be 1.5 times the wingspan of the resident. That way there's room to flap without bashing into walls. However, we must remember that "the bigger the better" is always best.
The cage should be cleaned out every other day at least.
