The holidays are the most wonderful time of the year! But, that doesn’t mean they’re the most wonderful time of year for your parrot. Here are a few tips for making sure both you and your bird are happy all season long.

Go easy on the fragrances. Birds have extremely sensitive respiratory systems. Holiday themed candles, room sprays, and potpourri are popular during this time of year, but they can be overwhelming to your parrot. Keep them to a minimum.

The holidays can get loud and busy. If you plan on having guests over, make sure there’s a dark, quiet place for your bird. There’s no reason to have him in the middle of the action if it will just stress him out.

You should also keep his feeding, watering, and play schedules the same to ease anxiety. To learn more, click here, or visit with your veterinarian Pickerington, OH.
