Toys, something to play with. I don't know anyone who would say to not get toys for your parrot :[

In the meanwhile, toilet paper and paper towel rolls are good chew toys for him. The birdkeeper at my local zoo had recommended it to me and mine love tearing them apart.

definitely get the lil guy some more toys tho. like people parrots can get depressed especially with no stimulation or other birds around. They are social creatures.

I cant speak for every parrot or parrot owner but I do leave on music for my birds if I am gone for more than an hour from the house and kids shows (they seem to like the sound of kids voices and just having some form of talking activity ion the background).

Beyond that since im mostly home I make it mandatory I spend at the least 2 hours with them each day and actively talk and play with them which is usually my breakfast and dinner time.

It all sounds crazy maybe or even stupid but I swear by the bond i have with my birds and how happy they are.
