Bird Care

How to soothe a stressed bird

Stress can come from noise, drafts, poor cage placement, boredom, overhandling, or health issues. Start with the environment and involve an avian veterinarian when behavior changes suddenly.

• Place the cage away from drafts, smoke, direct kitchen fumes, and chaotic traffic paths.
• Keep routines predictable, especially around sleep, cleaning, and feeding.
• Offer hiding options and enrichment without overcrowding usable cage space.
