Birds are fun to watch and interact with and make particularly good pets for apartment dwellers. Birds don’t need to go outside for walks and spend most of their time in their cages. Your bird needs daily exercise outside the cage and flying is the best exercise for your bird. However, your bird doesn’t need a huge area to take a flight. Take care you secure your windows and doors and turn off any fans before you allow your bird to fly around the apartment. Pet birds will interact with you and get excited to spend time with you so try not to leave your bird alone for really long periods of time. Birds can be trained to do a number of tricks and some can even learn to talk or sing. Feeding and cage cleaning is relatively simple. And most landlords don’t consider birds in their “no pet” policies. Contact your Fayetteville, NC vet to learn more.
