Answer

Question:

We got a new resident in the house: a Ringnek parrot. He's just a baby, probably about 3 months old. Now I want to know: What do they eat, what is good for them, what is bad / dangerous and what do they like? I heard they were not allowed to eat avocados at all. Can you help me with any information or maybe suggest a website for more information? Also, I generally want some tips / information about these parrots. Juliana (technical@afoodable.co.za)

Answer:

Ten tips on how to care for birds in a cold:

1. Get healthy birds

Make sure you buy the bird from a trusted breeder or retailer. It is better to buy birds that are made big, as they respond well to people and therefore make better pets. Pay close attention to the hygiene of the place where you buy the birds and see if you see any birds that look sick.

2. Health Check

Once you have acquired a bird, you should first go to a veterinarian for a thorough clinical examination. Your local veterinarian may be able to do this yourself or refer you to a veterinarian specializing in birds. This examination will give you a good indication of the health status of the bird.

3. Blood Test

Birds may be infected with diseases that do not show clinical signs, almost like AIDS in humans. It is strongly recommended that eg PBFD and Psitacose be tested. The latter can be transmitted to people. The vet should also take a smear of the bird's throat and mist.

4. Give correct nutrition

Wild birds eat a wide variety of foods and it is very detrimental to birds in a cold to eat only sunflower seed and groundnuts. By doing so they develop vitamin, protein and mineral deficiencies, as well as certain diseases due to malnutrition. Feed birds a good, balanced, purchased diet and provide a variety of foods. Consult experts on the correct eating plan.

5. food supplements
Even though the bird eats a balanced diet, it is nevertheless recommended that a good food supplement be added to its drinking water at least three times a week. Such a supplement should contain vitamins, minerals, trace elements and amino acids, specially prepared for birds in cold.

6. Avoid strange birds

Never bring a new bird home if you have not determined beforehand whether the bird is the carrier of disease.

7. Annual investigations, injections and deworming

Only professionals should cut birds' wings and nails. Incorrect clipping of wings can cause the bird to be seriously injured if it tries to fly. Incorrect clipping of nails can kill birds. Visit your veterinarian twice a year to cut nails and wings. At the same time, he / she can examine the bird well, deworm and give a vitamin A injection.

8. Keep cages clean

Cages must be hygienic. Clean cages regularly and disinfect with a safe bird. This reduces the risk of disease.

9. Watch out for sickness signs

Birds learn instinctively to hide all signs of disease so that predators will not catch them. Therefore, it is difficult to see early signs of disease with them. When the bird sits on the floor of the cage, it is already so seriously ill that it is usually too late to apply any treatment. Pay close attention to any changes in eating habits, stool color and composition or listlessness. If any suspicion is suspected, take it immediately to the vet for consultation.

10. Avoid the following:

Never feed a bird with avocado, parsley, chocolate, coffee or nicotine.
