It's species dependant, some birds need relatively large cages, it's best to have a grate on the bottom and a collective area covered in newspaper below the gate that can slide out, it helps cleaning. It's good to have some places for them to walk and roam as well as chew toys preferably things made of wood or made of materials that wont hurt the parrot or disrupt digestion if it is ingested. Food wise they need alot of nuts,seeds, and fruit preferably dried though fresh fruit is encouraged. not only is it healthier than pellets but they are less likely to pick pout feathers, also supply them with alot of it since they like to chew not for food but just for feeling. I cant really help ypu personality wise but you can train parrots but you have to be patient if you want to hold them dont let them get to close to your neck or head since sometimes they gate angry or want to groom you and can hurt you. If you are successful in having an offspring and you wish to take care of it a good thing to do is get certain mixtures of ground up food mixed with hot water (may want to ask around to find some stuff. keep the baby warm, and feed ith through a syringe (minus needle) be careful and check the crop when feeding try and get rid of any excess air by massaging or another process, this way it reduces the risk of bacterial infection via fermentation of the food in the crop. Babies need to be fed alot and reduce feeding times as they grow older.
