One of the most important things to do when you take your first new bird house to the cage in an area instead that do not have too much activity and confusion. Although we try to ensure that our new friend does not feel he is stuck in the middle of the action of all households. We also want to make sure it does not feel alone if you’re in a room by himself made. Ideally, find a place in his house, where they can still communicate with you, but remain constant or loud noises are not a large number of sudden movements that scare the long term.

In situations where you have another bird in his house, it would be better to separate the baby’s arrival, for thirty days. The reason why you want to do this is to ensure that if your new bird is a contagious disease, prevention of infections in birds originate. By establishing a quarantine for birds, it would be better to keep them on the floor in a completely different part of the house. In addition, you should take your kitchen from food and water kept separate and not share with them, even after washing. If your home central air conditioning are fitted, you may find it difficult to ensure an effective quarantine. Since this type of air conditioning ducts used to evacuate the air from one room to other parts of the house. Although a good idea to quarantine birds immediately suspend your new pet home, even if the air channels.

You must also ensure that any new bird you bring home is healthy. To make sure you bring your avian veterinarian for local control. Your vet can check and verify that your new pet bird is suffering from a contagious disease, worms or bacterial infection free. This is especially important if you have a bird feeding hand, the reason is that if the bird was not fed properly by hand, is an increased risk of bacterial infection.

If every time you bring home a new bird should monitor their eating habits during the initial adjustment period. If you find that you should not eat bird apparently all in the first twenty-four hours you try to propose some spray millet. Spray millet is almost a dessert for the birds. Another option is a whole-grain cereals, that a bird can offer plenty of food to be afraid. If you only bring home a bird weaned and eating well make different sounds maudlin, may have left some of your new bird and must be fed a little more by hand. In these cases, call your breeder for help.

If you do not communicate for any reason, with his breeder, the chances are that you can buy a hand on the formula feeding your local pet shop. To use the formula, simply mix a small amount of hand feeding with milk until it is complete consistency of pudding. Here are some of the mixture are at the bird through some of the formula in a plastic spoon. If all goes well, he should eat from the spoon.

Finally, do not be afraid to interact with your new pet bird, only be sure not to out of hand. First, just try to work with him for 10 minutes at a time, work and no more. If you ever fly, and believes that his own desire to pursue and catch him and put him back in his cage for a while until it begins to sink. Whenever I hunt and catch the bird, which will minimize some stress, what we try, our new friend, caused.
