How this is calculated
Under-stimulated parrots often develop feather plucking, screaming and aggression. This tool checks six areas avian vets emphasise — out-of-cage time, toy variety, toy rotation, foraging, time alone and sleep — and weights them equally.
Source-based educational tool; not independently reviewed by a veterinarian. Cited guidance does not imply endorsement by its authors.
Formula
Score = average of 6 areas × 100 Out-of-cage ≥ 1 h small · 2 h medium · 3 h large · ≥ 4 toys · rotate ≤ 7 days · forage ≥ 2×/day · alone ≤ 6 h · sleep 10–12 h
Assumptions
- •Targets are general welfare guidance; equal weighting is our own simplification
- •Feather damage always needs a vet check — it can be medical
