You recently added a feathery friend to your household, and you are proud to call her a member of your family. However, because she is still new, you know you have a lot to learn about one another. How can you bond with your bird?

Your bird needs you to think about what she needs from you as her caretaker. This will be life-sustaining acts, like feeding her daily and seeking medical attention when necessary. However, it will also include spending time with her to offer social interaction. This will offer her mental stimulation as well, in addition to helping her get some exercise. Generally speaking, meeting her needs will help you bond with her quite well, but you can also add to this by spending additional time interacting with her.
