Pets are wonderful company, but their care requires that we educate ourselves about their needs, provide them with a healthy and nurturing environment, and respond to any problems that may arise. If you need advice concerning your animals, ALWAYS consult your local veterinarian!

Bird Health FAQ More about PREVENTION than about implementing at-home cures. Adequate care is best accomplished if the owner: (1) continually educates him/herself on all aspects of bird care, (2) visually inspects each bird at least once a day, and (3) establishes a good working relationship with a veterinarian familiar with treating pet birds. A conscientious owner recognizes the symptoms of illness and responds to the situation quickly, instead of doubting his/her observations or waiting to see if time takes care of the problem.
