5 Ways to Tell Your Bird You Love It

Of course you love your bird. But even with all the fancy toys and expensive cage you got for it, your bird still doesn't know how special it is for you. In this video, I'll show you 5 ways to show your bird you love it, in a language it will actually understand. Put down your phone. Your bird needs some face-to-face interactions every single day. Especially when you come home from work or school. The first thing that you should do is to greet your bird. You don't want your bird to feel like you're avoiding it. It's waiting to get a reaction from you after not seeing you for a while. And that's why it's important to put down everything that distracts you, like your phone, and give it 100% of your attention. Give it its favorite food. Food and love go together perfectly when it comes to showing your bird you love it. So it will be no surprise and kind of common sense that if you'll feed your bird with its favorite treat, and preferably from your own hands, it will love you for it. But try to avoid feeding it too many treats and saving the pleasure for special occasions. You obviously don't want your bird to gain too much weight, and to risk its health too. Respect your bird's nature. Many owners prevent their birds from going about their natural instincts, such as flying around the house, and not letting them chew on stuff, or even restricting their birds to certain areas, because they're afraid of their bird's poop and mess. Preventing your bird from doing all of those things is being selfish. Of course you shouldn't let it destroy your house, but at the same time, if you want to keep it happy and show it your love, you should just let it be what it is, a bird. It's important that you love your birds for who they are. Use your high voice. It's already proven that birds absolutely love it when their owners baby talk to them. They love high voices and sounds. You can usually tell they love it because they'll stop whatever it is they were doing and focus on you and your voice. You can try to read a book when they're nearby, or just to sing to them while they're sleeping. Pretend to be a part of the flock. Most parrots are naturally used to living as a flock, and if you'll try to fit in, they'll definitely fall for it. You can be a part of your bird's flock in many ways, such as sharing food together. You can give it bites of bird-safe food. That's a great way to bond and show affection. Just make sure it doesn't bite the parts you bid from, as human saliva can be toxic for a bird. Another way to be a part of their flock is to move your finger around their bath. It makes them feel as if you're taking a part of their bath as well. And of course you can take an advantage of every opportunity you get to play with them.
