Birds need extra care during the hottest summers. Find out how to keep your birds healthy and happy even in the intense heat:
💧 Keep the water fresh and clean: Always keep fresh water available for the bird. In hot climates, birds can dehydrate quickly, so check regularly for clean, fresh water and replace it as needed. In addition, you can offer shallow water tubs so that the bird can cool off.
⛱ Provide adequate shade: Birds naturally already have a high body temperature of 40 ish C-42 ish C ( 104 ish F - 107.6 ish F ) which makes them very sensitive to excess heat. Avoid direct exposure to the sun in the hottest hours of the day. And make sure there is always a shaded place at a pleasant temperature available for your pet bird.
😋 Offer proper feeding: In hot climates, birds may lose their appetite, so offer fresh, moisturizing foods such as fruits and vegetables with high water content. Avoid leaving perishable food in the cage for too long, as heat can accelerate spoilage.
🧐 Constantly monitor: Be aware of signs of overheating or thermal stress in your bird, such as: rapid breathing, wings away from the body and apathy. If you are observing these signs, move the bird to a cooler spot immediately and offer fresh water in the water cooler.
With this care, your bird will be safe to endure the summer with all safety and comfort. ✅
