Health & Environment

Prevention, preparedness and vigilance are key to ensuring the health and safety of your bird.

• You can help boost your bird's immunity through the proper use of supplements and lighting.

• In the event of an emergency, it is important and reassuring to have a properly stocked first aid kit on hand.  Many minor emergencies can be handled quickly and effectively at home if the proper supplies are available.

• In the wild, displaying any sign of illness is not beneficial to a bird.  It is instinctually very important, as a matter of survival, for a bird to disguise sickness.  Monitoring your bird's weight weekly using a scale with a built in perch may help to detect a health issue.
