All about care of birds and parrotsBirds are very social and generally live in large flocks in the wild. As the birds owner, you are essentially his or her flock mate, so the birds cage should be placed in an area in your home where there is a lot of activity. Cages should not be placed in the kitchen because of potential risk to the bird from cooking fumes and flames on the stove. Teflon pans should never be used around birds, as the toxic chemicals they release into the air when they are heated to high temperatures can be instantly fatal to birds.Birds should never be exposed to cigarette smoke or other aerosolized toxins to which they are very sensitive. Caution should also be taken with birds around open doors and windows, near mirrors and ceiling fans, and around other potentially predatory pets, such as cats and dogs.While birds should be taken out of the cage as much as possible to socialize them and provide exercise, they should never be left unsupervised. To provide mental stimulation and physical exercise, birds should be provided with safe toys that are good to chew on, such as items made from soft wood, cardboard, paper, or chewable food items such as coconut husks and corncobs.- See more at: https://petliferadio.com/birdseyeview.html#sthash.NtwEdG6q.dpufBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bird-s-eye-view-pet-life-radio-original--6670941/support.
