JIJI~~~
Jiji ~~~ was born January 14, 2025!
He is a lineolated parakeet <3
He is still very timid and shy and does not like hands. He likes chewing on his toys and listening to jazz / orchestral music
VERY IMPORTANT:
NEVER smoke, vape, spray any perfume, aerosol, deodorant, cleaning supplies, etc, or cook with non-stick in the apartment at all
(This includes rice cookers with non-stick, coffee machines, etc.)
Doing this can and will kill parrots as their lungs are very sensitive.
Spray perfume once you are outside the door and it is closed firmly.
Care notes:
Sun lamp
7-8 AM turn on
7-7:30 PM turn off and cover his cage with his night time cloth UNLESS the room will already be dark. This is in case you want to continue to hang out in the same room and keep some lights on. (Parrots need 12-14 hours of uninterrupted sleep)
Water
Cleaned metal bowl with fresh water every morning and change in the afternoon if needed -
Refresh if you see any poop or debris in the water
Dry food
2 heaping scoops in the morning in plastic bowl
+ 1 scoop of Nekton Vitamin supplement in plastic bowl
Refresh if you see any poop in the bowl
Treats
Millet - This is his FAVORITE treat!
You can hold up a piece to him and let him chew on it for a while or drop a few pieces in his dry food bowl.
Fruit: Apple, Orange, Melon, Watermelon, Strawberries - Please give him a small piece of fruit every day as he is underweight and needs to eat a little more sugar! (Size: Think one slice of a tangerine)
Fresh vegetables
Please use a clean metal bowl each time and remove within a couple hours
ORGANIC (Pesticide free)
Bell pepper, mini sweet pepper, lettuce, kale, cucumber, carrot, pumpkin
Sweet potato (cooked, unseasoned)
He really loves cut up pieces of organic mini sweet peppers, and they last a long time in the fridge!
NO AVOCADO! Avocado is poisonous to parrots!
Bath
Mist bath 1x / week (On Thursdays) (mist bottle provided under cage)
It’s best to do this during the day time when you see him preening - if he wants to bathe, he will begin to flap his wings and stay in the mist. Continue to mist at least 10x, he will sort of slow down the flapping when he’s finished.
Note: If he does not want to bathe, he will scoot away.
Cage lining (provided under cage)
Change every day.
Please remove any fresh food items stuck at the bottom of the cage so they do not rot.
Notes:
It’s very unlikely that Jiji will try to come out of the cage. But, please keep the doors closed tightly.
In the rare case that he does escape or go out, please put Bleu and Guero somewhere where they are not able to reach Jiji and try to catch him gently. Jiji does not bite but will make a fuss. Put him back into his cage and close the door.
If you see Jiji looking sick (too fluffed up, head bobbing, overly sleepy, on the floor of the cage for a long time, quiet the entire day) please let me know - if you cannot reach me - please call the vet # listed above.
