First Time Parrot Parent Turns To Interwebs For Birb Care Tips And Tricks, Bird Corner Of World Wide Web Provides

Hello, friends! Everyone, meet Gimli, the rescued parrot turned best buddy! This first-time feathered friend has won hearts on r/parrots, where a caring community offered valuable tips for his happy, healthy life. His human says he is still a bit shy but he shows promise of trust with cuddles and nibbles on his human's hand. Redditors poured in to share their wisdom, suggesting the removal of nest-like huts, and replacing them with flat perches for better stability. Gimli's human, being a first-time parrot parent, was super appreciative of all the helpful tips. 

When it came to Gimlii's diet, they recommend high-quality pellets, fresh veggies, and treats like dried peas and yogurt-covered mangoes. Building trust is a slow process, with target training and gentle interactions replacing forceful handling. Parrot safety takes precedence, with warnings to avoid toxic substances like non-stick cookware, chemical cleaners, and strong scents. Additionally, social needs were highlighted, encouraging companionship or being a devoted flock for Gimli. In this heartwarming journey, the Reddit community cheers on Gimli's progress and eagerly await updates and adorable snapshots of this feathery duo bonding and thriving together!
