Ways to care for your bird’s feathers

We will give you some steps, which if you follow, God willing, you will not have problems with your bird’s feathers and you will preserve their health and beauty.

You must pay great attention to cleanliness, because if you neglect the cleanliness of the cage, nest, and food, the cage and the place around it will be filled with many insects, especially mites. This insect causes many diseases to the bird and weakens and breaks the feathers.

Therefore, do not forget to clean the cage, egg, or nest every 3 to 4 days. As well as the ground and the place where you put the cage, clean the place with cleaning materials.

Note: It is best to buy a professional cage and nest, so that the cleaning process is easier for you. Such as the plastic cage floor, which is easily removable and cleanable, which also prevents birds from eating the remains on the cage floor.

The cage should also be large, as it gives the birds freedom to move around, because small cages help break down the bird’s feathers, especially the tail and wings. The size of the cage depends on the type of bird you have. A macaw parrot, for example, needs a large space.

Give your birds fenugreek with water. Boil the water with the fenugreek, then wait for it to cool and offer it to the birds as drinking water. Fenugreek helps the birds secrete specific fats by maintaining the shine of the feathers and strengthening them.

Spray your birds with water every day during high temperatures, or buy them a bathing dish.
