32.  What are common rules of thumb for all bird care?

33.  Environment  Food  Water  Enrichment  Illness prevention

34.  Cages: ◦As roomy as possible. Able to spread wings & make short flights (exercise) ◦Metal bars; birds should not be able to fit their heads through ◦Horizontal: for birds that like to climb (parakeets etc) ◦Slide out trays for easy cleaning and less anxiety to animal  Cages: ◦Draft free area ◦Daily sunlight ◦Even temperature

35.  Definition: large flying enclosure mimicking a natural environment  Indoor: ◦You control temperature ◦Often a room devoted to birds ◦Windows are wired ◦Door has a double passage way to prevent escape.  Outdoor ◦Most natural environment ◦Must have indoor shelter ◦Wind breaks (prevent drafts, helps block some noise ◦Normally all wired and mesh

36.  Hand Fed: Fed by humans formula via large syringe. ◦Pros: More hand friendly and tame ◦Cons: Time consuming, expensive (formula)  Seeds: Mixture, based on shape and size of beak ◦Pros: Enrichment for animal ◦Cons: Birds will over indulge  Seed pellet mix: Condensed nutrients in pellets with seeds available ◦Pros: Great variety for enrichment and nutrition ◦Cons: Many birds eat around pellets

37.  Fresh fruit and vegetables ◦Pros: Enrichment, great way to bond with your animal (sharing food) ◦Cons: too much can cause damage to digestion system

38.  Grit ◦Pros: Required for health digestion system of birds ◦Cons: Some birds are picky with how grit is delivered.  Best practice: Mixtures of seeds, pellets, grit and fresh fruits/vegetables Food: Pros and Cons

40.  Drinking water ◦Birds should have access at all times to clean drinking water ◦Common methods of providing water  Provided: Bowls, Gravity watering container

41.  Bathing ◦Large bowl ◦No more than 2 inches deep ◦Most birds must be able to see the bottom  Marbles, stones, colored bottom  Bathing ◦Warm to room temperature water ◦Misting spray bottle as well for thorough cleaning Water: Very Important

43.  Toys ◦Puzzles ◦Chew Toys  Cuddle bones: provide needed minerals, helps trim beaks  Mirrors ◦Pros: Birds feel less alone & talk their reflections ◦Cons: Birds will be more comfortable with reflection and reject owner

44. Enrichment

45.  Perches ◦Different sizes, shapes, and textures  Prevents foot stress and injuries Enrichment

46.  Tags/ Bands: Used for ID and registration for breeders and license paperwork

55.  Why did this happen?

56.  What is the best way to prevent parrot disease?

57.  Symptoms: lethargy, diarrhea, ruffled feathers, sinusitis, anorexia, conjunctivitis, and tremors in the neck, wing and legs  Transmission: through infected feces and nasal discharge  Prevention: Quarantine shedding birds, Clean van blades and vents  Prevention: Strict isolation of all diseased birds

58.  Symptoms: irreversible loss of feathers, shedding of developing feathers, development of abnormal feathers, new pinched feathers, and loss of powder down  Transmission: through direct contact, inhalation or ingestion of aerosols, crop-feeding, infected fecal material, and feather dust

59.  Symptoms: prolific loss of feathers  Transmission: Non transmissible  Prevention: ◦Birds are very intelligent. They need socialization and enrichment daily. Feather plucking is normally a main symptom of emotional distress or upset

61.  Symptoms: lethargy, anorexia, and diarrhea,  Transmission: primarily through the air, shed from an infected bird in the nasal and or ocular secretions, fecal material, and feather dust  Prevention: Proper hygiene  Treatment note: Can be treated with Pepto. 2-3 drops by mouth once a day

62.  Symptoms: sudden death can occur, progressive weight loss in spite of a good appetite, depression, diarrhea, increased thirst, and respiratory difficulty  Transmission: by ingestion and inhalation of aerosolized infectious organisms from feces.  Prevention: minimize stress and overcrowding; Provide proper ventilation; Prevent malnutrition with a proper diet

63.  Lethargy: tired, weak behavior  Powder down: Under feathers, powdered skin from feather coverings

64.  Non-Transmissible: unable to be given to other animals  Shedding: Fluffing off of skin cells (carrying bacteria or viruses)  Aerosol: Air born particles (carrying bacteria or viruses) Vocabulary: Closing
