New Year’s dangers for birds

 For many people, holidays are fun, relaxation and entertainment. But for owners of parrots and other birds, this is an occasion to once again think about the safety of their feathered pets. The first thing a bird will encounter during the holidays will be noise. It is advisable to protect the bird from your noisy gatherings, because some guests can be very curious and intrusive. And some will certainly want to treat the bird with something forbidden, which is fraught with poisoning at best. The best option for placing a noisy company would be a room isolated from the bird. If this cannot be avoided, then it is advisable to place the bird in a far corner or higher so that curious guests do not encroach on your pet. Do not let the bird out of the cage or brag about it in front of friends. A bird can fly out of an open window or window, it can be crushed by doors, sit on it. In addition, furtively eaten food from the festive table will also not add health! And in time, an open door can make a feathered friend a victim of a cat or dog, which should not be in the same room as a walking bird. New Year and Christmas holidays are full of various shiny and sparkling decorations. For a bird, they are all interesting, curious. Do not allow a bird to these decorations, they can be unsafe! The bird can get confused, get stuck, eat some decor element, gnaw the wires of the garland, break something and get hurt! Remember that the use of pyrotechnics can greatly frighten the bird, and the fumes from lighting it in an apartment or house can be toxic to the bird. In addition, explosions of fireworks and firecrackers can also scare a parrot, therefore, if the bird is used to sleeping under a blanket, it is better to immediately cover the cage so that less noise penetrates into it. If not, then draw the curtains, try moving the cage a little away from the window. If the bird is left alone at this time, leave the dimmed light on, this will help you quickly find your bearings if the parrot gets scared and starts to beat on the bars of the cage or falls off the perch. The use of scented candles in a house where there are parrots is prohibited; fragrance vapors are harmful to birds. The same applies to incense sticks and incense. Remember about Teflon dishes! Vapors from very hot Teflon-coated dishes are deadly for parrots! Recently in the US, 10 birds died at the same time when a turkey roasting bag was heated. It is better not to use anything new. If you follow these simple rules, the holiday will be successful for you and your pet! With coming!
