Insider tips

Remove shiny accessories and jewelry before entering, as parrots may attempt to bite or pull at them.

Wear clothing that you do not mind potentially getting marked by bird droppings.

Approach the birds slowly and avoid sudden movements to prevent startling them.

What to avoid

Avoid wearing heavy perfumes or colognes, as parrots have sensitive respiratory systems that react negatively to strong chemical scents.
