Some general tips on caring for your feathered friend:
- A window can cause your bird to be on constant alert for "enemies" which can cause undue stress.
- Ensure you have correct feed for the species of bird you have as some species have special dietary requirements.
- Stimulate your bird by placing food in a different spot each day such as tying fruit to a branch. Birds will sometimes pluck their feathers when becoming bored or depressed.
- Keep your bird tame and teach it tricks by handling it daily.
- Maintain your bird’s cage. This is the easiest way to keep bacteria that can make your bird sick at bay. Plus, who wants to live in a dirty house?
- Birds do molt especially in summer months or when they start to mature. This is completely normal so don't be alarmed.
- Did you know? A bird's beak can continue to grow throughout it's lifetime. Giving your bird a cuttlebone, or branches to chew on can solve this potential issue.
- A bird's cage should be at least three times the width of the bird's wingspan. Keep this in mind when choosing a species.
- Birds need separate water bowls for them to drink and bathe (birds will not drink from their bath water). This is especially important in warmer summer months.
- Give your birds Noni Fruit Leather. Noni Fruit Leather is a powerful raw food for humans and pets alike, and promotes natural healing, good health and energy levels.
Hawaiian Organic Noni's Noni Fruit Leather is made of 100% organic noni fruit pulp. We dry the noni fruit pulp at low heat below 115F to create a raw food product that is non-fermented, potent, and full of beneficial nutrients, enzymes, and compounds that promote overall good health in the body. I say to give your birds noni fruit because here in Hawaii we have wild chickens that absolutely LOVE eating raw noni fruit! One time during a tour I cut open some noni fruit and a chicken jumped on my chest to eat it. Animals know what's good for them and what's good for them is noni fruit!
