Birds vary hugely by species – a budgie, a canary and an African Grey have very different needs, lifespans (some parrots live 40+ years) and noise/social requirements.
- Research your specific species’ diet, cage size, and social needs before bringing one home.
- Find an avian-experienced vet in advance – see our Avian Vets directory.
- Check any DAFM registration requirements that may apply – see our DAFM Information page.
This is a general starting point, not a complete care guide – always research your specific species in depth.
