Parrot Care Made Easy

Parrot stands are vital accessories if you are planning on letting your bird out of his cage – which you should be! They provide an alternative to your arm, or your best piece of furniture, and (if you choose the right design) they have the added benefit of keeping your parrot entertained.

Parrot stands come in lots of different designs and sizes, so you obviously need to pick one that is appropriate for your bird. My advice is to buy one that has a number of different components to keep your pet amused – don’t just buy a glorified perch! You can get them with a variety of toys and puzzles attached, which your pet will love. A built-in mess tray is also a good idea, for obvious reasons!

Whatever you do, please don’t buy cheap parrot stands. At best, they will wear out really quickly, and therefore not provide good value for money. At worst, they will be made from inferior materials that could actually harm your bird.
