Will you outlive your birds?

A common misconception about pet birds is that they live hundreds of years and must have wanted someone to care after you left. While birds can live for long in nature, duration life in captivity is actually much shorter. Some common birds for pets and their average life span in captivity since receive High Quality care and good nutrition.

Macaw - 50 years
Cockatoo - 40 years
African Grey - 25 years
Amazon Parrot - 50 years
Conure - 15 years
Parrot - 15 years
Huet - 15 years
Agapornis - 10 years
Canary - 15 years
Finch - 5 years

Certainly, with a lifespan of 50 years, a bird can survive, but many hidden dangers lurk that can cut your life short birds. Birds are very fragile and must be addressed properly for them to live a long life.

Here are some things you can do to help keep your birds safe and healthy:

A great danger for birds such as chemical fumes. Aerosol cans, stoves and even Teflon things like furniture polish can kill birds. Keep anything that has a strong odor away from your bird and make sure you use it in an area well ventilated. I suggest getting rid of all Teflon pants, however, sure whether to keep the birds is nowhere near the kitchen when cooking with them and certainly not in the heat without food in them as this will cause the Teflon to emit more odor.

Pet birds love to chew on things and really chew any find something that is good for them or not. It is important not stop chewing on everything that is welded as they can get lead poisoning from the slaughter in the joints. Also plants love their home and if you eat need to be sure that all plants that are toxic to birds.

Birds love to eat fruits and vegetables, but must be careful not to allow fruits and vegetables too long or may begin to rot. As it could feed a piece of pineapple sat on the bench for three hours for your family, you should not be present in your bird is. Something that never should be offered birds as food like chocolate and coffee that these tips are toxic to our friends with feathers.

The holidays are a particular threat to birds, as they may want to fly into your tree and chew. You must be very careful with this, however, All trees are sprayed with stuff that is toxic to birds. In addition, ornaments, garlands and lights may seem attractive to Your Pet, but, of course, could be very dangerous for him to chew on.

Birds that are allowed to fly around the house can be fun, but you have to think safety first if the bird has not cut his wings and fly without a kingdom where he wants. Obviously, you want to make sure your windows are closed so that it can not escape. In addition, you probably want to lower the blinds or curtains closed when the birds fly around you I do not want to fly with the window closed and it hurt. If you can not do that, then putting stickers on the windows so your bird does not know how to fly in it. The same applies to the browsers or the reflecting surface. This is very important that your bird really can break the neck by flying into them.

Another thing to beware of standing water, like water in the sink or toilet, do not want your bird to get in over your head and drown!

Please do not over cook your bird flies around you do not want him to win the fire and burned.

Finally, be sure not to open the door as birds perched on his shoulder. Even a bird with clipped wings who could take an updraft and outdoor hazards like many cats and cars that can harm your bird.

Feeding your bird a nutritious diet and keep it safely I can not guarantee that survives, but goes a long way to ensure it has a long healthy and happy!
