BIRDS AND COLD, WHAT TO DO TO PROTECT THEM?

BIRDS AND COLD, WHAT TO DO TO PROTECT THEM?

Birds, generally, are cold animals. Their feathers and the roughness of their legs serve to protect them.

The problem occurs when winter comes; temperatures drop, rain, snow and hail begin to fall. To avoid this affecting your birds, we recommend following some tips to help them feel better at this time of the year.

Keep reading all the information we will leave here that will be very useful for bird lovers:

First, you should observe your bird. If it is the first time you deal with one, you should consider that when they are cold, they tend to fluff their feathers, reduce their metabolic activity, and become lethargic.

It is very important that their needs are perfectly attended to. There are feeders that isolate very well the humidity, try to keep it always with food that provide them with energy, with diets rich in fats and calories.

Regarding water, it should always be kept fresh, and make sure it is not frozen, so that your bird stays hydrated. 

In winter, we recommend taking special care of their aviaries. You can cover them totally or partially, or you can choose one of our indoor aviaries, which include wheels so that you can move it to the most comfortable place.

If you choose to cover the aviary, keep in mind that light and oxygen must enter for your bird to live in good health.

Against many people's opinions, heating can cause problems to your bird, as it causes dry eyes and respiratory tract. For this reason, if you decide to bring your bird indoors, we recommend that you install a humidifier next to aviary. It will be a perfect way for them to adapt to your home.

Your birds will appreciate it if you put all these tips in practice!
