When you’re thinking about getting a pet bird, you should know how to tell a healthy bird from a sick bird. Here are some things to watch out for when you’re picking out a bird from the pet store.
~Avoid birds that look tired, sit hunched at the bottom of their bird cages, have droopy feathers, or are hiding their heads underneath their wings.
~Make sure the bird isn’t sneezing excessively and check that it doesn’t have discharge from its nostrils. It’s also not a good sign if the bird has droppings hanging from its tail feathers.
~Bright eyes, shiny feathers and an energetic demeanor are all signs of good bird health.
