## Breeding & Genetics
- **Litter Size**: 3–5
- **CHIC Required Tests**: Incubation: 21-24 days
- **Recommended DNA Tests**: Weaning: 10-11 weeks

## Behavioral Ethogram
- **Locomotion**: Flying, climbing using beak and feet, hopping, walking on flat surfaces
- **Social**: Allopreening, regurgitation feeding (during breeding), vocal mimicry, flock calling
- **Comfort**: Preening, bathing, stretching wings, beak grinding, resting on one leg
- **Stress/Displacement**: Feather plucking, excessive screaming, pacing, biting, lunging
- **Breed-Specific**: Eye pinning when excited or aggressive, bluffing (temporary aggressive phase during adolescence), distinct head bowing during courtship

## Vocalization Baseline
- **Types**: Screeching, whistling, talking, chattering, clicking
- **Frequency Range**: 1000-4000 Hz
- **Tendency**: High
- **Primary Modality**: Excellent

## Emotional Wellbeing
- **Anxiety Proneness**: Moderate
- **Top Triggers**: Lack of attention/boredom, sudden loud noises, changes in environment/routine
- **Separation Anxiety Risk**: Moderate
- **Calming Interventions**: Puzzle toys, chewable wooden toys, foraging opportunities, regular out-of-cage flight time, daily interaction, misting/bathing

## AI Communication Decoding
- **AI-Trainable Signals**: Eye pinning (pupil dilation/constriction), head bobbing, beak clicking, wing flicking, vocal pitch variations, specific screeching frequencies
- **Context-Dependent Vocalizations**: High-pitched screeching for alarm/danger, soft chattering for contentment, whistling for attention, specific learned words for food or interaction
- **Interspecies Communication**: Can mimic human speech clearly (up to 200 words), responsive to human tone and body language, uses loud calls to alert other species of danger

## Husbandry Environment
- **Temperature Gradient**: 18-24°C
- **Humidity Range**: 40-60%
- **UVB Requirement**: 90x60x90cm
- **Diet Type**: Pellets 60%, fresh vegetables 15%, seed mix 20%, fruits 5%
