BIRDS CAN BE HIGH-MAINTENANCE

Some Birds have behavioral issues like the urge to damage their own cages or screech for no apparent reason. When this occurs, it’s imperative that they be brought to the vet for a checkup. If they’re healthy, they might just be bored or need mental stimulation, which means they might need constant company or playtime.

Birds also wake up early. If you aren’t fond of the daytime, you could use a lightblocking cloth to cover your Bird’s cage so they wake up only when they start to hear noise. If that doesn’t work, be prepared to wake up whenever your Bird needs you.

You’ll have to be mindful of what you wear as well. Birds can take a fancy to jewelry or shiny clothing, so take care not to wear any unless you want your Bird to chew on them.
