Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Things You’ll Need:
- Enclosure
- Bird food
- Substrate
- Bird toys
- Cement perch
- Cleaning supplies
Step1
Purchase an appropriately sized cage for your pet. The minimum size cage should be 42 inches by 30 inches and 60 inches tall. The bars should be about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch apart. The enclosure should also provide for 3 food and water cups.
Step2
Cover the bottom of the cage with an easily cleaned substrate like corn cob.
Step3
Clean the cage by changing the substrate, food and water daily. Disinfect the cage, perches and cups on a weekly basis.
Step4
Avoid drastic temperature changes from drafts and direct sunlight on your mollucan cockatoo’s cage.
Step5
Feed the mollucan a diet of fortified seed, fresh fruit, veggies and commercial pellets.
Step6
Keep your bird healthy with regular veterinary visits. If your bird shows any signs of illness visit your vet immediately.
Step7
Place plenty of wooden toys in your pets cage as the cockatoo will spend a lot of time chewing on them. Also provide cement perches for nail filing.
