Bird Room Tips---5 Things That You Can Do To Provide A Good Home

If you are adopting a bird and making a home for
it in your home, it's important to consider ways
to make your aviary safe and healthy for you and
your bird. Here are 5 things to consider that
years of talking to bird owners have yielded.

Different Heat Source---Central heat and air
often means air is allowed to circulate from the
bird room to a central return and this happens
for all the rooms fed by the system. So your
bird's room can be exposed to air, odors, and
fumes from the kitchen. And bird dust and dander
can find its way into the kitchen and bedroom.

And whereas there are generally filters on the
return, they often prove inadequate to
efficiently filter odors and particles. Having a
separate heating and air conditioning system for
the bird room is a great idea.

For heat it can be something as simple as an
electric baseboard unit, particularly if the
area is small. A portable air conditioner is a
great solution for providing coolness without
exchanging air with the other rooms in the
house.

Separate Room---There are pro's and con's to
this idea, so the decision has to be what works
best in your situation. If you have a small
home, this may not be practical, possible or
even necessary. If your bird is the only bird
and needs lots of interaction with humans to
stay emotionally healthy, this is probably also
not a good idea.

But, if you have a relatively large home and can
spare the space to have an enclosed aviary this
is probably the easiest way to contain the
bird-related pollutants that result. This is
particularly helpful if you have a powder down
parrot such as an African Grey, Cockatoo, or
Cockatiel. And if you have one of these parrots
and other birds as well, a separate space can be
a winner for birds and humans.

A separate space helps keep bird pollutants away
from human particles and odors to which they can
be so sensitive. Having a separate space can
also make cleaning easier and more effective. So
rather than trying to constantly clean the entire
house, you have a smaller space to manage.

Safety---An enclosed area that remains shut most
of the time can help keep your bird safe. This
can prevent your birds from flying away when an
unexpected visitor opens the door at precisely
the wrong time. It can also prevent children,
other pets, and visitors to your home from
unknowingly causing harm to the birds. Or even
worse, having the birds react inappropriately by
biting because they feel threatened.

It can prevent accidents such as drowning in the
toilet, being burned by steam or water on a hot
stove. Having their own space is more likely to
keep them from ingesting harmful foods, running
into windows and mirrors, and getting tangled in
wires and cords that are common around most
homes.

Freedom---A dedicated area is more likely to
mean increased freedom. Rather than having to
have the cage closed for so much of the time,
this space that is bird-proofed can allow them
to come and go freely from their cage as they
like. What a joy that will be for them.

Filtration Unit---A unit that has a smaller
space to clean can be more effective at clearing
the air. And if the area is self-contained it is
only cleaning the air in that one space which
makes its job easier.
