Kids and parrots. If you dont have parent support, it is extremely hard to keep the parrot in a humane manner. THis cage is WAY too small, I wouldnt even keep a budgie in something this small.

He is obviously in distress in that tiny cage. It's a tough thing when you love a being but your parents don't. I've been in that situation so i know it's not fun. If you can't reason with your parents about him coming out then unfortunately your only option is to rehome. No matter the size of the cage he anyways needs time out of the cage. I hope for both your sakes your parents agree on a compromise. Good luck.

With getting him in a cage there are a few tricks I've heard this is the only one that doesn't involve food. I've never tried but I've heard it works. Turn off all the lights and make the room as fasten as you can, then put some sorry of light in his cage (not too bright that is blinding obviously) and wait. He should be drawn to the light.

ok the cage is way to small... u mentioned you can't afford a bigger one, so maybe try looking on eBay or offer up, or someplace that sells second hand, they will be cheaper there. If you can't I would try rehoming him... I'm so sorry. 😔

Rehoming would be the best but be sure and ask questions to whoever you find that can take him.
