Pet Bird Room Necessities–3 Things That Every Healthy Bird Room Needs

Making a bird room a happy haven for you and your feathered pets can be fun and exciting. But beyond the basics of fresh food and water, every bird room needs to have the following 3 things to insure a happy, healthy bird.
Proper Housing-Do your research first. Some birds enjoy living together in pairs or groups, some do better living alone. Some get along with other birds, and some not so much. Be sure to find out from a breeder or veterinarian which type of housing is best for your bird and provide a space that fits your birds’ needs. Knowing what your bird will require before you purchase it will save heartbreak later.
Oversize the space you provide for your bird so that they have enough room to spread their wings without hitting and possibly damaging their wings. The bigger the enclosure the better it is for your pet.
Toys for Emotional and Physical Health-Just like people, birds can get bored. They need toys to stimulate their interest. Chews, perches, cuttle bone all keep beaks and feet healthy which can greatly increase their life span and will make your pet a happy member of the family. Toys should be rotated regularly to avoid boredom. And old items that become unsafe should immediately be replaced by new ones.
Keep color and texture in mind when purchasing toys. Brightly colored objects will not only stimulate your pets but will create a visually appealing room for you as bird keeper as well.
Clean Air-Every bird room should have a high efficiency particle arresting (or HEPA) air purifier to clean the air. This type of purifier is specifically designed to remove large to minute particles as small as.3 microns from the air. And the really good news about this type of filtration is that the only by-product is fresh, clean air. And there is no down side to supplying you and your bird with a steady flow of fresh air.
Because bird’s air passages are extremely small and can easily become clogged with dander, feathers, and dust filtering the air is essential for a healthy bird. Clogged air passages are often the first step towards disease and infection. Unfortunately, because birds instinctively hide symptoms of illness, it is often to late to help once you realize your bird is sick.
Keeping airways clear by continually filtering the air in your bird’s room can greatly reduce the chance of disease and infection, increase the life span of your pet, and will surely increase the quality of life from day to day. It will also make breathing easier for those humans in your home whose allergies and asthma are more likely to be triggered by having a bird in the home.

Do i have enough money to buy a pet bird with its cage and everything else it needs?
January 14, 2011 by
Filed under Questions
I have $252 from christmas money and I’ve always wanted to get a pet bird. I really want a love bird because my mom used to have two of them but I know they are exspensive so I can’t decide if I should get a lovebird or a parakeet. I’m not even sure yet if I have enough money to get the bird, cage, toys, and its food. Does anyone know how much it would cost to buy a love bird or parakeet or which one I should get? Thank you!
What Do Parrots Eat – Parrot Dietary Needs and Classifications
August 23, 2010 by
Filed under Articles
Hello fellow Parrot owners -new owners -and hopeful owners. Thanks for visiting the “What Do Parrots Eat” information article. If you are here I will assume that you are new to Parrots or something along these lines. Personally, I have seen many people have a tough time figuring out the best possible diet for there new Parrots.
The best thing I can say is, try to figure out the EXACT species of your parrot.
Usually the pet store will provide you with this information. At least they should -but hey, there are other ways to get your own Parrot. I cannot really get into each and every Parrot species right here, but what I do want to do is show you the different dietary needs of some of the basic parrot species.
Although there are around 300 different Parrot species, we can really narrow things down , and come up with the more important needs of Parrots in general.
Feeding pet birds the right foods is important for their health. A balanced diet based on sound bird nutrition recommendations is the key. Balancing a parrot’s diet from the beginning may prevent many health and behavior problems. But it’s never too late to get your pet bird on a firm nutritional footing. It is something you will want to do since an unbalanced diet is a main cause of disease and early death in pet birds. Malnutrition is a human-made disease. Fortunately, it is also preventable.
Learn What Parrots Eat - And more. Not only can you have a firm grasp of the parrot’s dietary needs, but you can learn to train your Parrot to speak. Be Friendly, and to avoid the Parrot biting that has been known to happen quite frequently.
Types
1. There are three basic forms of “base diets” that make up the majority of a pet parrot’s food intake: seed-based diets, formulated (pelleted) diets and cooked diets. Each has advantages and disadvantages, seed-based diets are not recommended for most species because they are deficient in several important vitamins and minerals, particularly Vitamin A and calcium. Seed-based diets do have the advantage of being readily accepted by nearly every parrot. Formulated diets meet basic nutritional needs that are shared among all species, but additional supplementation — usually in the form of fresh foods — are necessary to maintain the health of most species. Cooked diets may be prepared from scratch or purchased in ready-to-cook packages. These diets contain the necessary fruits and vegetables that most parrots require but spoil quickly and are not always nutritionally complete.
Considerations
2. When choosing a diet for a pet parrot, it is important to consider any species-specific nutritional needs, if that information is available. Unformtunately, the nutritional requirements of parrots are not well-known, except for the most commonly owned species. Most parrots do well on a formulated diet that is supplemented with fresh fruits, vegetables and, in some cases, nuts. Amazon parrots, cockatoos, and Eclectus parrots should be fed few, if any, supplementary nuts because they are prone to obesity when fed a calorically dense diet.
On the other hand, macaws and conures of the Aratinga genus require more fat than is typically included in a formulated diet, making the addition of nuts in this case very beneficial. Hyacinth macaws, in particular, require a large amount of nuts in their diet to maintain their health; in the wild, these birds subsist only on the nuts of the queen palm tree.
Eclectus parrots are unusual in that they should not generally be fed a formulated diet; in the wild, they are almost entirely frugivorous. They have an unusually long intestinal system and can absorb excessive amounts of vitamins if they consume a nutritionally dense diet. This species requires a large quantity of fresh produce fed daily along with grains and a small amount of protein-containing food such as cooked legumes.
Misconceptions
3. One common source of confusion in feeding pet parrots is the species’ recommendations on packaged bird foods. Unless the package specifically states that it is formulated to meet the nutritional requirements of particular species or group of species, the recommendations reflect the size of the pieces of food rather than nutritional content.
This is especially true in the case of formulated diets; pellets sold for budgies are nutritionally identical to those sold for macaws or cockatoos. The pellet size chosen should be based on what the parrot prefers (and is therefore more likely to consume) rather than on what the package indicates.
Most conures, for example, prefer pellets sold for large parrots because they tend to eat while holding the pellet in their foot. On the other hand, small parrots that eat by picking food up directly with their beak may be unable to eat very large pellets.
Small pellets rarely present problems, even for very large birds, and can help reduce the amount of food that is dropped and wasted.
To really get a better understanding of Parrots in general you should really consider getting yourself a Parrot upkeep and training guide. There is nothing better than ALWAYS having a reference guide when owing a Parrot. Not only for knowing what your Parrots need to eat and other dietary supplementation, but because these are such special bird’s/pet’s.
These bieds have been known to live for 60 years! Deciding to learn everything possible right from the beginning will undoubtedly give you such a great chance to have a string healthy Parrot for a very long time.
Not to mention, these Parrot’s can do so much in the way of speaking and other very special thing’s. They will be your best friend for life -so please, considering grabbing your own Parrot training guide.
