Health Monitoring

One of the most important duties of being a responsible caretaker is ensuring that you are monitoring your parrot’s health regularly. Parrots by nature, tend to hide any sign of illness until it is too late. Regular at-home and avian veterinary examinations are important, even if you think your bird is in good health. Your vet will know what to look for and perform blood work as well as any other routine tests in order to ensure your bird is not ill and is not battling any type of infection. Along with annual check-ups, it is also important become familiar with behavioral and physical cues.
