Prepare for a great outdoor adventure. A warmer, more pleasant weather is the perfect time to enjoy some outdoor chill-lax period for birds. But prior to bringing your bird outside to enjoy the sun’s rays (and the UV-light benefits of sunlight that naturally occurs in the process) take a look at the ways you can ensure your bird’s safety in the outdoors. Birds who are permitted to take flight within the confines of their home need to adhere to a different plan when taken outside. If the bird is fully flighted, should the bird be put in a cage or a carrier to avoid an accidently flying off? Another option is to begin making your bird comfortable wearing a leash or flight harness. Certain birds can adjust easily to a harness/leash but others may have to make a few gentle steps over one week or more.

Adoption organizations for pet birds and sanctuaries are constantly in need of assistance or donations to keep them operating.
September and October
Check your habitat. Plan a day to spend cleaning of your cage for your bird (before you begin using the colder weather of the holidays and busy schedule as a reason to not doing this maintenance task). The entire cage of your bird outside (sans bird) perches, grates, perches and other cage accessories, and then power-wash all the gunk that has accumulated in the cage’s crevices and nooks. Let it dry completely in the sun and then put the cage back in place. While you’re there, look through your calendar for the month of each month and set aside a few more months of the year to get your bird’s enclosure sparkling and sparkling again. While you’re taking the cage apart in order to cleanse it, inspect every accessory and toys in terms of wear and tear, and replace them as necessary.

November and December
The months that we human beings often get off the fitness and diet bandwagon And who could blame us for all the holiday food items and festivities? Let this be an opportunity to remind ourselves of the fact that birds too are susceptible to gaining weight. When you’re out and about for the perfect holiday items, make sure you have an instrument to monitor the weight of your bird. Purchase a scale that weighs in grams (not pounds) as well as weigh the bird every day (or near each day) to be able to spot variations in your bird’s weight. When you look back to that wellness checkup that you did for your bird at the beginning of January or February, you should be able to determine the ideal weight range for your bird, and also what changes are a red flag with the area of weight loss or gain. This information is crucial in the event that you’re switching your bird’s diet, for instance, moving from a mostly seed-based diet to a better pellet-based diet.
Every Day of the Year healthy
Of sure, there are things you can do to your bird every day of the year, like providing balanced, nutritious food and enrich his or her diet with fresh, healthy vegetables and nutritious treats. If your bird loves to eat a portion of your meals, you should make a habit of keeping food items that are suitable for birds. This means removing the butter, oil as well as sauces, salt and other ingredientsin the event that it’s not suitable to you then it’s certainly not good for your bird.
