Caring in Malaysia
- Highly social flock birds: keep a pair or give daily out-of-cage interaction and company.
- A wide horizontal cage with room to fly, plus 10-12 hours of quiet sleep, keeps them healthy.
- Base the diet on quality pellets with fresh greens and seeds; avoid avocado and fumes.
For health concerns, consult a licensed veterinarian in Malaysia.
