My free flight Parrot Apollo lives in my house. Having a fully flighted bird is not an easy task, but over the past year I have taught my bird some manners and I have learned to be careful with him so that he does not get hurt.

Heres how to keep a flying parrot in your house: Get them to love you so they want to stay in your house. How bout that?

[JonDuanePerry]

@Gourmeticainsularis1 That's a good tip but it's a little off topic for this video. The point of this video is not about how to keep a bird from getting out (see my other videos on flying outdoors). The point of this video is about how to shield your bird from household dangers like electric chords and so on. These are house hold items that can hurt a bird whether he loves you or not :)

i saw a really cool one of the sun birds at petco 499 tho =[ want one so bad!

@TrampOllen Try googling "Sun Conure for sale" plus the name of your city. I bought mine from a family that couldn't handle the noise. You might get one for cheep.

Where are the toys???

Where does he stay and what does he do when you are gone? Does he have a bigger cage and a bunch of toys when he is alone?

You have done so great with a flighted bird! But he chews on your zipper because he needs chew toys. Parrots are like dogs -- they need to chew and play.  They also need to interact with new things - esp diff things to fly to. They aren't lap animals -- eventually you'll find that out.

Please add some stimulating toys or show us he has toys, too.

I remember i met a bird that was trained to go on the toilett at the sink, that was funny to watch.

@JonDuanePerry To shield him from electric chords you can first try not to play heavy metal too close to him or his cage, also don't wake him up with surprise heavy metal.

That is, not unless he's good a solid 60's/70's rock'n'roll culture.

How do I keep my green cheeked conure from going under my desk which is where all of my wires are. Ill let him mess around in my room but I dont want him under there obviously. If I have to I can somehow block it off. But I was wondering how you get your bird to only go in specific spots.

[LucyET]

He may be chewing on his zipper because it is HIS zipper and he likes being with his person. Or just because he's curious. It doesn't mean he wants toys instead. It sounds to me like this bird has an active life in the home with plenty to do. When they are out and about a lot, they get other stimulation and don't need so many toys. The cage is just used as a sleep cage, it sounds like, so it doesn't need to be big.
