Thank you for buying your bird from Us We urge you to take your bird home as quickly as possible and avoid subjecting it to extreme heat, cold or noise. These extremes cause stress and stress can kill!! Ensure there is enough daylight time for your bird to orientate itself in its new surroundings. Allow it to settle down for a few days without handling it and keep it away from draughts. Try to learn as much as you can about your new companion. We have a large range of excellent books for you to choose from if you need further information. Enjoy your new pet. Veterinary Advice to purchasers of Birds Having purchased your new bird(s), there are several things you should know and do, to ensure they remain healthy. Birds are unique in how they show and respond to diseases. They can ‘hide’ signs of illness until they are very ill, and can appear healthy to an owner who doesn’t observe them closely every day. Stress plays a major role in the onset of bird diseases. This can be in the form of overcrowding, poor nutrition or hygiene, lack of shelter of ‘hiding places’, sudden or extremely hot or cold weather and a change of environment. Stress attacks the bird’s immune system, making it weaker and therefore more susceptible to diseases. For these reasons, all birds going into a new home or aviary after purchase should be kept separate from existing birds, so they can become accustomed to the new Surroundings, foods and routines. This should be done for a period of four weeks for maximum benefit. The Temptation to put birds straight into your aviary should be resisted for the health of your current and new birds as well as developing good bird keeping methods. During their time in quarantine, observe the new birds closely, feed them the same as your existing birds and worm them in the first and last weeks of the quarantine period. Releasing birds into the aviary is best done after the morning feed. Useful care and product information for the new bird owner To keep your birds comfortable and in the best of health we suggest you consider the following Information. BIRD SEED: make sure it is always clean and fresh and free of unwanted, cracked and dusty material. This especially applies to some of the ‘cheap’ mixes on the market. FRESH WATER: should be supplied daily BIRD WORMER: worms are a common cause of illness. Worm two weeks after purchase and than every three months. SULPHADIM: a useful medication to keep on hand for various ailments. SHELL GRIT: an essential digestive aid for all birds. CUTTLEBONE AND CALCIUM BELLS: to provide calcium, mineral and beak conditioning. EGG AND BISCUIT: for baby and breeding birds especially, and a treat for others. VITAMINS AND MINERALS: a good range to suit your needs. PERCHES: made form native trees (gum, bottle brush) will give your birds feet good exercise and help keep its beak trim. FRESH FRUIT AND VEGETABLES: should be supplied regularly depending on your birds requirements. Corn on the cob, silverbeet, apple and soft fruits are all options. NATIVE FLOWERS: bottlebrush, banksia, grevillia and gum are popular with most birds. PROTEIN: In the from of egg and biscuit, sprouted seeds are excellent supplements and treats. BOOKS: essential guides for the ongoing well being of your bird
