These 10 Things Can KILL Your Bird

Hello all bird lovers! Here are 10 things you haven't thought that might kill your bird. I'm not going to share obvious things with you, like avocado and chocolate, so definitely stay tuned. The first danger comes from those cheap steel, iron, and lead toys for getting from stores or ordering online. The issue about those toys is that they can cause lead meaning having a sick and dying bird. Best alternative is to buy wood, plastic, yarn, and natural straw bird toys. Next danger would be to cook food near your parrot. Most cookwares have teflon or aluminum layers that bring out toxic fumes into the entire house. Your bird can simply die from inhaling these toxic fumes, like this poor lady's parakeets that simply died after she cooked near them. Just like cooking around your parrot isn't safe, never leave a scented candle, air fresheners, or perfume near your parrots. You have no idea how dangerous that is for them. I lost my first parakeet from leaving a scented candle in the room it was in, and that was just a terrible loss for us. They are super sensitive to smell and can smell all the way from the other side of the house. We all have plants in our houses. It's okay to have them as long as they are not reachable for your parrot. Many leaves are toxic. Pay attention so that you won't chew on any of them as it might kill them. Warm summer days are difficult to bear for us humans, but budgies are extremely sensitive to cold drafts. They can easily become ill and get a deadly cold. Always cover their cage partially while the AC is on and make sure they're not puffed. That will alarm you that they are cold. Sun, just like the cold, can also be deadly for them. Never leave their cage near a sunny window with no shade for them to go to. It can cause terrible dehydration issues and also overheating. We've all heard the recommendation to have natural wood purchased for our parrot snails, right? But here's another reason why you must have natural wood purchased. Bumblefoot. Bumblefoot is a deadly condition that can cause a serious bacterial infection and can be very difficult to treat. Never have plastic or sandpaper purchased in your parrot's cage. While your parrot is exploring the outside of your cage, they might come across dusty places. You might think, well, what's wrong about that? But dust can actually cause some serious respiratory diseases along with bacterial infections, so make sure to clean their favorite dusty spots across your room. There's an entire video I created about the next hazard. You can click here after watching this video for more information. Tap water can shorten your budgie's lifespan drastically. Most places on earth don't have clean tap waters. Rust, bacteria, chlorine, and other heavy metals is what your would consume from tap water. Last but not least, are radiation sources near your parrots which can cause cancer. I know it's almost unavoidable. We all use computers and cell phones on a daily basis, but we can still reduce the amount of exposure to radiation by not getting too close to our parrots with our phones and turning off electricity all over the room at night, which is also very healthy and beneficial for our own sleep. That's it for today. Let me know what you guys have in the comments below. Please subscribe and I'll see you in the next video.
