Are you considering welcoming a new pet bird to your home? If yes, it is time to learn about how to properly care for a pet bird at home.
When you welcome a new pet bird to your home, you will want your home setup in a way that helps your pet bird thrive.
What makes a pet bird happy?
Here is the answer: You cannot spoil your pet bird nor can you mistreat your pet bird. To make your home a happy home for your pet bird, you need to set healthy boundaries.
For starters, a no biting policy should be enforced for when you decide to take your bird out of the birdcage. This no biting policy can be implemented by teaching your pet bird step up commands.
What are step up commands?
Step up commands are commands that help pet owners properly handle and train their birds to obey commands.
Bird training is very similar to dog training commands. Birds learn to sit and stay when pet owners give specific verbal commands.
Teach step up commands to pet birds from the start and you will have on your hand a well-behaved bird for a lifetime.
Once your pet bird is fully trained, start to bond with your bird so that he or she will not fear interactions with other birds or human handlers. All family members and friends should receive lessons on how to properly bird handle and give step up commands.
Birds become highly aggressive when they only interact act with one person/ primary caregiver. Do not coddle your bird too much or pay attention to your bird constantly. This will train your pet bird to plea or whine from the birdcage any time the bird does not get his or her way.
Do not ignore your bird for the first three weeks but also do not cater to his or her whim at the drop of a dime. Keep attention balanced.
But more importantly, provide your bird a healthy food diet.
At the early stages of life, pet birds need to be slowly weaned off of comfort food and provided food sources full of good nutritional value. Pet birds should not be feed excessive amounts of seeds or any type of bird food resource. Check out healthy bird food products such as pelleted bird food from My Pet Store And More to get you started on your bird’s healthy food diet. Birds can eat fresh fruit and vegetables as well.
Next, bird-proof the home to prevent damage to your valuables. Birds enjoy exploring the home with their minds. This is not good for your furniture items or your overall home structure.
Here are some features of your home that will need to be sealed or stored in some shape or form to protect your bird and your valuables:
-
Covers on Electrical Cords
-
Safe storage for toxic substances and chemical fumes.
-
Covered water sources.
And don’t forget to keep your bird entertained with bird toys. Have your bird train to play in your home without damaging your home interior or injuring his or her self. Always keep windows and doors to the outdoor environment closed during playtime.
