Tips for Safe and Fun Bird Playtime

Your birdie deserves the best! Let's make playtime safe and fun.

Keep Your Bird Safe

Birds are curious little creatures, but they don't always know what's safe. Let's help them out!

 

Avoid Household Hazards

  • Toxic fumes: Many common household items, such as nonstick cookware, cleaning products, and paint, release harmful fumes that can be deadly to birds. Ensure good ventilation when using these products and keep your bird in a separate room.
  • Lead poisoning: Older homes may contain lead-based paint, which is highly toxic to birds. If you suspect your home has lead paint, consult a professional for safe removal.

Prevent Choking and Ingestion

  • Tiny terrors: Small objects like beads, buttons, and even uncooked rice can be a choking hazard or cause intestinal blockages. Keep these items out of reach.
  • Plant dangers: Some common houseplants can be toxic to birds. Research which plants are safe before bringing them into your home.

Eliminate Entanglement Risks

  • Cords and blinds: Window blinds and cords pose a strangulation risk. Consider cordless alternatives or use cord covers to protect your bird.
  • Fabric dangers: Loose threads or fabric can cause entanglement. Inspect your bird's toys and environment regularly for potential hazards.

Choose Safe Toys

  • Proper sizing: Toys should be appropriate for your bird's size and strength. Avoid toys that are too small or too large.
  • Material matters: Opt for toys made from non-toxic materials and with secure fastenings. Avoid toys with small parts that can break off.

    Playtime Fun for Your Bird

    Birds love to play! Let's make playtime extra special.

    • Birdie toys: Give your bird lots of different toys to chew, climb, and explore.
    • Brain games: Hide treats in toys to keep your birdie thinking.
    • Talk time: Chat with your bird and sing songs. They love to hear your voice!
    • Free time: Let your birdie play outside their cage in a safe room.

    Remember: Every bird is different. Watch your birdie and see what they like.
