Ways to Prevent and Treat Stressful Birds

For bird hobbies, stressed birds are indeed one of the most serious problems. Stress will make the bird become eager, moody, and just stay quiet in the cage with a bulging body. Don't want to chirp, just move already looks reluctant. Stressed birds automatically drop and cannot sing.

The causes of stress in birds can be caused by a variety of things, some due to falling cages, due to long trips, wrong feed or drinking, shock, fear of other animals, not adapting to the new environment, being left behind by spouses, and so on. If this stress condition is left, it will be fatal to birds.

Prevent Stress Birds

To prevent stress in birds, make sure to do this on your pet bird:

1. Keep the cage clean and clean the cage accessories regularly.
2. If you are going to replace the cage, you should use a cage that is really "right", does not smell of paint, plaque, oil, and other substances. Spray the new cage with water before using it.
3. Make sure the cage hanger is strong enough, and be careful when hanging it. This is to prevent bird cages from falling when hanging.
4. Make sure the food and drink provided is clean and fresh. Voer is sure to be fresh, clean and not damp. Use boiled drinking water to make it safer.
5. Avoid birds from the reach of other animals, such as dogs or cats. 

If you are going to travel far enough, give supplements containing probiotics or increase blood hemoglobin. Then cover the bird cage on the way, try to get a little shock that is received by the bird, and take a moment to take a break on the trip.

Treating Stressful Birds

If birds are already exposed to stress, here are some ways to overcome them:

1. Birds should not be bathed because they are vulnerable to illness. Just dry it in the morning sun (before 9 o'clock).
2. Cover the cage and place it in a quiet place. Under stressful conditions, birds need calm.
3. Give EF (Extra Food) and the foods you like more, so that the birds are more eager to eat.
4. If it is a type of colony, then colonize the bird with its species.
5. Give vitamins and minerals to bird drinking water
6. If stressed because the partner left behind try to be colonized or put together with other birds, so they can move on.
7. Give medications that can increase blood hemoglobin, if necessary.
8. Give supplements containing probiotics.
9. If the bird looks active and chirps again, it usually signals that the bird has improved and can be treated as usual.

That's how to prevent and treat stressed birds that you can do. Hopefully it can help you to care for and handle your beloved bird.
