Default Parrot [Sennie] Care & Distilled Water etc

I saw this answer in the sticky regarding safe flowers. It was a good answer so I thought it deserved more room and attention.

Also, give her a large bowl for her to bathe in (they do love their daily baths but hate misting).

Keep her to a strict natural daylight schedule with full exposure to both dawn and dusk (VERY IMPORTANT!).

Use good quality full spectrum lights in the room where she is kept.

Organic food but not pellets unless she eats TOP and, regardless of what her staple is, always supplement her diet with lots of fruits, veggies and greens (they are great eaters!).

You shouldn't give her distilled water, try a good spring instead (distilled lacks natural minerals and it leeches stuff out of its container which should never be plastic).

And don't overdo it on the drugs, those remedies might be herbal but none of them are meant to be used long term.
