Potty Training Pet Birds

Birds defecate often. For this reason, some owners will try to potty train their bird.

When a bird receives a reward for defecating on command or at the right spot, they might start pushing more or harder just to get a reward. In extreme cases this could even lead to cloacal prolapse. Another issue could occur when the owner is away and someone else takes care of the bird. The bird might not understand when and where it is allowed to defecate.

Spring is a season of new beginnings, but buying bunnies for Easter shouldn't be one of them. Before you consider buying a bunny as a cute and cuddly addition to your household, please think twice. These adorable creatures require lifelong care and commitment.

Instead of buying a bunny outright, why not try fostering one first? This will give you a chance to see if a bunny is a good fit for you and your family, without making a long-term commitment. Plus, you'll be helping a bunny in need find a loving home!
