Did you know that you will need to prepare a special show cage for your Pionus Parrot to show in? Generally, the show cage is smaller with at least two perches inside. Some owners use a breeding cage. It’s a good idea to train your Pionus Parrot to go into his show cage well in advance.  You can prepare your Pionus Parrot by attaching the show cage to his current cage. Place treats in the show cage and encourage your Pionus Parrot to enter on his own as well as leave on his own. Once he becomes comfortable, start closing the door and allowing him to spend time in the show cage. Your Pionus Parrot should spend the day before the show in the show cage. If your bird seems anxious or nervous in his cage, call your veterinary clinic Sugar Land, TX for suggested ways to keep your bird calm. Read more for additional information.
