Temperament
These gentle birds are known for their love for human proximity. They also enjoy chewing strong and hardy materials for a long time. Due to their inquisitive mind and intelligence, they often learn various tricks in no time and surprise others. Once they make a bond with you, they are likely to accompany you while you watch TV or listen to songs. Adults are prone to feather plucking if they don’t get sufficient attention and mental stimulation. So, you must provide some chewable toys to keep them occupied while you are not around.
