Fresh veggies and fruits  should be given to your bird every day.\u00a0 Dark, leafy greens are packed  with vitamins and many birds also enjoy carrots and broccoli.\u00a0 Fresh  cold water should also be available at all times and changed at least  once a day.<\/li>\n<li>A trained and tamed bird will need at least an hour of exercise out  of the cage in a safe and enclosed room every day.\u00a0 He may simply want  to just sit on your shoulder or explore the room.\u00a0 For birds that do not  take to handling, providing a selection of toys like ladders, swings  and mirrors with bells are a great way to keep your bird entertained.<\/li>\n<li>Providing a shallow dish at the bottom of the cage is a great way to provide a bath for your <em><strong>bird <\/strong><\/em>and  keeping his plumage looking perfect.\u00a0 It is probably a good idea to  schedule a bath right before you plan to clean out the cage.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<ul><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Are you a bird owner?
