i helped care for a couple of touracco and some tocan when i words at a zoo...

MESSY, their diet is mainly fruit (soft bill pellets work in a pinch but they never seem to realy enjoy them...more like surviving than thrving) and of course, higher moisture content = runny poop, they also like to through their food.
they had a sweet but musty smell to them.

becaus eof a heavy fesh fruits diet food had to be replaced frequently to avoid spoilage
and cages need cleaning out and scrubbed multiple times a day
and because like lories, they tend to have projectile poop youll want to have scrubbable walls and floors around the cage!

It depends on your field of experience. Parrots require their own special care. Unlike finches and doves, they require interaction from their owners. If tame, they need to be out of the cage as often as possible and given one-on-one time with you. If they aren't tame, they need to at least have a larger cage that has many toys in it to keep the bird entertained, and they need to be given another of their species so that they have someone to interact with. Parrots mate for life, and if you can't give them a feathered mate, you basically need to be the replacement and give him the constant attention that a feathered one would supply him with. If you are inexperienced with parrots, it is advisable to start small, like a cockatiel, budgerigar, or other small parakeet.

Mynahs are similar to parrots in their needs, but they are more of a softbill than a seed-eater so they must get plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.
