After keeping Chico for the past 10 years, the two biggest problems we have faced are.
1) Clean drinking water
2) Feet problems.
What we have done to solve these problems has been very simple, but often overlooked by many people.
The clean drinking water problem is best solved by providing a watering solution that never allows the bird to get in it. Contaminated water is the #1 reason for many sicknesses your parrot may get.
The simplest solution is a water bottle, just like rabbits, or gerbils would drink from.
Chico learned how to drink from the bottle the first day we installed the bottle, some 6 years ago. Now his water is always clean and contains the vitamins that are easily added.
Here is a sample water bottle, but any walmart version will also work.
