Just like humans, cats, and dogs, pet birds can also become overweight. However, due to their small size, they can also become underweight very easy. Helping your bird maintain a healthy weight is extremely important to his health and happiness.

In order to determine if your bird is the right weight, you should schedule an appointment with your veterinarian Glendale. Birds that are allowed to fly can sometimes become underweight while non-flying birds are at a greater risk of being overweight.

A balanced diet is the best way to ensure your feathered friend is at the right weight. Amino acids should be balanced with fat soluble vitamins and minerals. If you’re unsure of the best food for your bird, as your vet for a recommendation.

Plenty of exercise and playtime is important to your bird. Bring him out to play and allow him to explore your home so he can burn calories.
