Additional Needs
The importance of exercise in pet birds cannot be understated. Learn more about ways for your bird to exercise.
Some bird species require regular access to direct sunlight for optimal health.
Life enrichment, ie; foraging activities, puzzle toys, frequent social interaction and other enrichment methods are necessary to keep most pet birds healthy and happy. A lonely, bored pet bird is more susceptible to illness than a busy, active bird.
