Birds: CareAnimal Science Level 1
What might have happened to this bird?
Warm Up
Understand proper care of domestic birds
Outline general rules for bird care
Objectives
What are common rules of thumb for all bird care?
Essential Question
EnvironmentFoodWaterEnrichmentIllness prevention
Bird Care: Main Areas
Cages: ◦ As roomy as possible. Able to spread wings &
make short flights (exercise)◦ Metal bars; birds should not be able to fit their
heads through
Environment: Cages
◦ Horizontal: for birds that like to climb (parakeets etc)◦ Slide out trays for easy cleaning and less anxiety to
animal◦ Draft free area◦ Daily sunlight◦ Even temperature
Definition: large flying enclosure mimicking a natural environment
Environment: Aviary
Indoor: ◦ You control temperature◦ Often a room devoted to birds◦ Windows are wired◦ Door has a double passage way to prevent
escape. Outdoor◦ Most natural environment◦ Must have indoor shelter◦ Wind breaks (prevent drafts, helps block some
noise◦ Normally all wired and mesh
Hand Fed: Fed by humans formula via large syringe.◦ Pros: More hand friendly and tame◦ Cons: Time consuming, expensive (formula)
Food: Pros and Cons
Seeds: Mixture, based on shape and size of beak◦ Pros: Enrichment for animal◦ Cons: Birds will over indulge Seed pellet mix: Condensed nutrients in pellets with seeds available◦ Pros: Great variety for enrichment and nutrition◦ Cons: Many birds eat around pellets
Fresh fruit and vegetables◦ Pros: Enrichment, great way to bond with your
animal (sharing food)◦ Cons: too much can cause damage to digestion
system
Food: Pros and Cons
Grit◦ Pros: Required for health digestion system of birds◦ Cons: Some birds are picky with how grit is
delivered. Best practice: Mixtures of seeds, pellets, grit and
fresh fruits/vegetables
Foods
Drinking water◦ Birds should have access at all times to clean
drinking water Common methods of providing water Provided: Bowls, Gravity watering container
Water: Very Important
Bathing◦ Large bowl◦ No more than 2 inches deep◦ Most birds must be able to see the bottom Marbles, stones, colored bottom
Bathing◦ Warm to room temperature water◦ Misting spray bottle as well for thorough cleaning
Watering
Toys◦ Puzzles◦ Chew Toys
Cuddle bones: provide needed minerals, helps trim beaks
Enrichment
Mirrors ◦ Pros: Birds feel less alone &
talk their reflections◦ Cons: Birds will be more
comfortable with reflection and reject owner
Enrichment
Perches◦ Different sizes, shapes, and
textures Prevents foot stress and
injuries
Tags/ Bands: Used for ID and registration for paperwork
Illness Prevention
Cleaning routine: Thoroughly clean all perches and bowls. Replace bedding. Fresh seeds and fresh water. Mite prevention: Mite cartons to help keep mites away from cages. Also available in powder
Aviary: large flying enclosure mimicking a natural environment
Hand-fed: Fed by humans formula via large syringe.
Enrichment: make better or improve in quality
Cuddle bone: provide needed minerals, helps trim beaks
Perch: Used for sitting: Different sizes, shapes, and textures
Leg Band: Used for ID and registration for paperwork
Vocabulary: Closing
1. Compare and Contrast the Types of bird feed (Page 2)◦ Complete the graphic organizer for each type mentioned in class
2. Design a bird food◦ After learning about the types of bird feed, and their pro’s and
con’s design the perfect bird food◦ Use any ingredients you wish BUT YOU MUST
Explain why you used each ingredient Give at least 5 ingredients COLOR you food example
3. Design the perfect cage for your bird Pg. 3◦ Choose your own bird from our notes◦ Design a cage based on their needs
Activity
Letter to a Friend Write a 10 sentence (skipping lines) letter to
your friend who recently purchased a bird. Use your knowledge and notes. Be sure to include information about◦ How to determine appropriate cage size, food,
and enrichment toys◦ What could happen if enrichment is not provided

Essential Question
Symptoms: lethargy, diarrhea, ruffled feathers, sinusitis, anorexia, conjunctivitis, and tremors in the neck, wing and legs
Pacheco's disease
Transmission: through infected feces and nasal discharge
Pacheco's disease
Prevention: Quarantine shedding birds, Clean van blades and vents
Pacheco's disease
Symptoms: irreversible loss of feathers, shedding of developing feathers, development of abnormal feathers, new pinched feathers, and loss of powder down
Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease
Transmission: through direct contact, inhalation or ingestion of aerosols, crop-feeding, infected fecal material, and feather dust
Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease
Prevention: Strict isolation of all diseased birds
Psittacine Beak and Feather Disease
Symptoms: prolific loss of feathers
Transmission: Non transmissible
Feather Plucking
Prevention: ◦Birds are very intelligent. They need socialization and enrichment daily. Feather plucking is normally a main symptom of emotional distress or upset
Feather Plucking
Bird Intelligence
Symptoms: lethargy, anorexia, and diarrhea,
Avian Salmonella
-Transmission: primarily through the air, shed from an infected bird in the nasal and or ocular secretions, fecal material, and feather dust
Avian Salmonella
Prevention: Proper hygiene
Treatment note: Can be treated with Pepto. 2-3 drops by mouth once a day
Avian Salmonella
Symptoms: sudden death can occur, progressive weight loss in spite of a good appetite, depression, diarrhea, increased thirst, and respiratory difficulty
Avian Tuberculosis
Transmission: by ingestion and inhalation of aerosolized infectious organisms from feces.
Avian Tuberculosis
Prevention: minimize stress and overcrowding; Provide proper ventilation; Prevent malnutrition with a proper diet
Avian Tuberculosis
Lethargy: tired, weak behavior Powder down: Under feathers, powdered skin
from feather coverings Non-Transmissible: unable to be given to other
animals Shedding: Fluffing off of skin cells (carrying
bacteria or viruses) Aerosol: Air born particles (carrying bacteria or
viruses)
