Birds refresh the space in which we live with their song, color and flight, they are familiar with us and we like them. The most common birds kept in cages are the Canary Islands and Parrots. The first is his favorite outfit and plumage, but first of all for the song or songs. Parrot is chosen by many animal lovers of the diversity of colors of feathers, high adaptability to captive conditions and low food requirements for its liveliness and, last but not least, the charm that imitate some words of human language. Should be mentioned also, charm and "decoration" made of finches and parrots large and medium in the home. It is known that after a "school" prior parrots are suitable, to the delight of others, at very short human conversations.
Care of captive bird's means and measures of hygiene, they help prevent bird illness respectively to avoid unwanted consequences of its existence. Between measures of hygiene include washing dishes for food and water - for which you have to use every time a disinfectant solution, and then rinse them very well - as well as cleaning the cage regularly. The main causes of disease in cage birds are inadequate food, low intake of vitamins, salt, the micro-behavior or wrong of our guests, contact with poultry owners, whose diseases are common with those of captive birds.
Many birds bath with much pleasure. Especially in heated rooms, the bathroom and the bird baths are very important for maintaining health and feathering by increasing air humidity, the respiratory tract mucosa. Some species of birds such as parrots feather wave is rarely bathing. In their home country, Australia, the animals had to content during dry periods with little humidity and the dew to clean plumage. In captivity they can offer a "bath of dew" in the wet lettuce.
Large parrots rarely wallow in stagnant water, they still gladly accept to let the rain soak. "Rain" can be produced by spraying the bird with warm water using a watering flower. Water status, non-drinking is harmful to health because the birds in it bacteria and fungi multiply rapidly - parrots are susceptible to fungus spores.
Even a warm summer rain is a welcome change in daily life of birds. Making the cage in the rain, cover one half for the birds themselves so that you can decide how much wet to leave. Trades are found in special bird baths that can be attached to the cage. Choose white or at least one bath lighter because birds do not like to get in dark containers. It is important that the floor byte have striations, so that animals do not slip during bathing. For larger cages a tray can be used to pay to be filled with water about 3 cm. And these trays ribs or pebbles on the bottom are very important to prevent slipping. Sick birds lose their balance easily can drown. If animals were bathing, water must be changed as soon as possible to prevent formation of bacteria - birds drink the same water they bath in.
