There are no conclusive studies about the physical and mental needs of a bird inside a cage. But despite the lack of scientific study, birds still long to get out of the cage once in a while.
Veterinarians believe that birds should be let out for about one hour or more. Getting out of the cage will be good for the bird’s mental health. It will also keep them from being bored.
You can give your pet bird some toys while you let it out. Doing so will let your bird know that it cannot chew random objects around your house. You can also provide bird gyms made of wood. You can also give dog toys to your pet bird, including rawhide chews.
You should also ensure that your pet will be safe when you let it out. Some birds are known to get hurt when they chew on wires or when they step on sharp objects. Some birds will also fly outside the window if there is an opportunity. Finally, you can remove other animals that are not friendly to birds.
If you have concerns about your pet health and/or behavior, make an appointment with your veterinary clinic Tipp City, OH.
