General Bird Health and Care
A Happy Baby!
This page will have all the links to all the General Bird Heath, Safety and Care posts that I have made.
Covering all topics, I will be adding more posts to this section frequently.
This advice comes from many years of bird experience, caring for a large number of both rescues and breeding pairs. Common sense knowledge, actionable advice, things that have worked for me through the years over and over again.
It is even more important for a parrot breeder to keep their birds happy and healthy. Parrots that are not happy and healthy do not breed well, do not show well, do not behave well, and do not give happy and healthy babies that will grow into wonderful companion birds.
As always, this is just advice, and you should always do your own research on topics that concern you and consult a vet if in doubt or for serious problems. Always be mindful of your own experience level when dealing with any problems with your pet’s health, and don’t be afraid to seek professional help, especially in an emergency!
