Simply For The Birds

Bird lovers are usually enamored with all winged creatures, and that includes household pets and the migratory birds that temporarily make your backyard their home. If this sounds like you, your number one concern is most likely bird safety. To that end, there are several things to keep in mind in order to keep your pet birds (permanent and temporary) as safe as possible.

For your permanent pets, make sure that all the products in their cage are completely safe. Teflon, for example, shouldn’t be used in any bird cage. The self cleaning feature of the oven also shouldn’t be utilized, as the intense heat can burn off dangerous chemicals that can be harmful for your birds. And for the birds that are temporarily taking up residence in your backyard, make sure that you provide them a spacious and safe bird house. Also, put out a fresh supply of bird seed and water for them to enjoy until they are ready to move on.
