What can you do to set your home and your bird up for success? How can you maximize your relationship and life with your bird? There are several considerations that are interconnected and overlapping which all come together to create the whole of bird care. Considering living space, diet, feather and body condition, socialization, and mental stimulation can lead to an overall increase in bird welfare. This presentation will focus on the first of these five considerations, discussing how maximizing your bird’s living space is interconnected and related to the overall physical and mental health of your bird.
