Bird Food
Foods available for Pionus parrots include formulated diets, either pelleted or extruded, seed only diets, and parrot mixes which offer a mixture of both. There are pros and cons to feeding only a formulated diet as well as feeding only a seed diet.

Formulated Diet
A formulated diet provides a good nutritional base so does not require the addition of vitamins, however it does not contain the phytonutrients (antioxidant pigments) that are found in vegetables, fruits, grains, and seeds. Also parrots can become bored with a formulated diet due to the lack of variety.

Seed Diet
A seed only diet offers much more variety but requires additional vitamin and calcium supplements. Variety is important in the diet for psychological enrichment.

Supplements
Supplements can include sprouted seeds, all types of fruits such as apples, pears, plums, cherries, grapes, oranges, bananas, mangos, papayas, and berries such as strawberries and blueberries. Vegetables are also good supplements such as carrots, cucumbers, zucchini, many garden vegetables, and even dandelions and chickweed. Do not feed avocado as it may be toxic to birds!

Housing

Parrot cages:
A Pionus parrot should live in a cage that is similar to what an Amazon parrot needs. Although it has been claimed that a minimal size cage might be 24″x 24″x 32,” it can be between 39″-59″ (100-150 cm) high and contain a floor space of 23″x 39″ (60 x 100 cm) (62 x 62 x 83 cm). 3/4″ bar spacing is recommended, though 1″ bar spacing is okay for the larger pionus.
The cage needs to provide room for lots of movement as well as space for perches, food dishes and a variety of playthings. Playthings can include climbing ropes, chains, bells, parrot swings and wooden or other bird toys. A playpen is ideal for playtime outside of the cage.
Aviary:
Once acclimated, pionus can thrive in an outdoor or breeding aviary. However, not all of them can withstand colder temperatures.
An outdoor aviary needs to have a protected shelter with an attached flight cage that can be heated and cooled as needed. For just a pair of birds, the breadth is not as crucial, thus 3′ – 4′ (90 – 120 cm) would be suitable. Additionally, a birdbath and a climbing branch are wonderful extras.
