Part 1: Reasons Why Parrots Refuse to Return to Their Cages

Parrots often resist returning to their cages due to two primary reasons. Firstly, they may simply want to continue their playtime outside and thus refuse to come back. Alternatively, they might not consider the cage as their personal sanctuary. Living alongside humans, parrots typically come to understand that the cage is their exclusive space, a place where humans are not allowed. Once the cage becomes their safe haven and personal domain, they gradually grow accustomed to and even enjoy the cage life. However, many parrots do not like to stuff things inside the cage. If there's something in the cage that displeases them, they may start to reject the cage as a safe space and begin to avoid it.

It's crucial for parrots to feel they have a personal, private space, as they are naturally individualistic creatures. Even though they require companionship, they also need a space they can control. Without such a personal space, parrots can easily become anxious. Therefore, it's recommended that bird owners provide each parrot with a dedicated cage and carefully arrange their personal sanctuary within it.

Part 2: How to Encourage Parrots to Return to Their Cages

Parrots are unlikely to return to their cages if they haven't had enough playtime outside. However, they tend to come back when they feel anxious, lonely, hungry, or when they perceive unfair treatment. When a parrot is reluctant to return to its cage, the owner can trigger these negative emotions to prompt the bird to return.

In households with multiple parrots, if one bird remains outside while the others have gone inside, the outside bird might feel it's being treated specially and may resist entering the cage. In such cases, if you speak to the bird inside the cage with affection, saying things like "What a good boy to come back to his cage," and offer gentle affection, the outside bird might become nervous. Then, by offering food to the bird that has returned, the outside bird may realize it's missing out. With this lesson learned, the parrot will come to understand that staying outside brings no benefits and will likely return to the cage in the future.

Dr. Oxygen Pet Tip: If you only have one parrot at home, it's important not to feed it when it's outside. This helps the parrot understand that it must return to the cage to be fed. To ensure the parrot returns to the cage without hesitation, this principle must be consistently followed.
