I had a parakeet named Larry Bird. I taught him to talk. Instead of "I'm a dirty bird", he would say, "I'm a dirty dird!!" He really cracked us up. He lived to a ripe old age. He loved to take baths. They have the ones that hook to the door of the cage. You just put plain warm water in it. He also liked to eat those long things with seeds that you would hang on the cage with a clothespin. We had toys on wheels that he would push along the kitchen floor. We would cover him at night for sleeping so he would not get any drafts.

Good luck with the bird.
