General Care Tips for Bird Owners
​
-
Provide a spacious cage: Make sure your bird has plenty of room to move around, stretch its wings, and play. The cage should be large enough for the bird to spread its wings fully without touching the sides.
-
Keep the cage clean: Regularly clean the cage and replace the bedding. Wipe down the perches and toys with a bird-safe disinfectant.
-
Offer a balanced diet: Provide your bird with a variety of fresh fruits, vegetables, and high-quality pellets or seed mixes. Avoid giving them foods that are high in fat, salt, or sugar.
-
Give them toys: Birds need mental stimulation to stay happy and healthy. Provide them with a variety of toys, such as puzzles, mirrors, and swings.
-
Socialize with your bird: Spend time with your bird every day, talking to it, petting it, and playing with it. This will help your bird bond with you and reduce the risk of behavioral problems.
-
Provide fresh water: Make sure your bird has access to fresh, clean water at all times. Change the water daily and clean the water dish regularly.
-
Provide a comfortable temperature: Birds are sensitive to temperature changes, so make sure the room they are in is kept at a comfortable temperature. Avoid placing the cage in direct sunlight or near drafts.
