I'm not sure if there's anything I don't know that's I should know. I know to play with him/her for at least 30 minutes a day and change her food and water daily and of course clean her cage once a week? Anything else? I'm new at this.

Answers:

Change the food and water daily: Keep the water fresh and clean! Let the bird get used to you and the surroundings, doing nothing but maintaining his food/water and cage, before trying to train the bird to perch on your finger.

Add fresh food frequently: Feed fresh veggies such as broccoli, kale, beets, peas, carrots, parsley, and cooked yams, sliced apple, citrus, and the like. Food can be clipped to the bars of the cage or chopped small in a food processor and put in a bowl.

Offer treats: Millet sprigs or "sprays" are a favorite treat, but don't feed too much of it (about 1/2" per day), as it is fattening like junk food. Avoid sweets or excess oats, both of which are fattening.

Try to interact with your birds daily for at least 30-90 minutes. Without regular and sufficient attention, they will lose interest in human interaction. A pair will tend to bond with one another (regardless of sex) and ignore humans, but through interaction, you can be considered part of the flock.

Let it fly: Think about how your bird(s) can get exercise. Many people assume they can just leave the birds in a small cage all day, where the birds, which in the wild fly and exercise a lot, otherwise get fatty and fat related illnesses. They should be taken out to fly every day.
