| Additional Needs | - The importance of exercise in pet birds cannot be understated. Learn more about ways for your bird to exercise.
- Some bird species require regular access to direct sunlight for optimal health.
- Life enrichment, i.e., foraging activities, puzzle toys, frequent social interaction and other enrichment methods are necessary to keep most pet birds healthy and happy. A lonely, bored pet bird is more susceptible to illness than a busy, active bird. |
