Caring for Exotic Birds: What You Need to Know

Exotic birds are stunning, intelligent, and full of personality. However, their care requirements go far beyond those of typical pets. Whether you own a macaw, African grey, cockatoo, or any other exotic bird, providing proper care is essential to their health and happiness.

If you’re in Delray or South Florida, Brenda and Billy’s Aviary is the best place to ensure your exotic bird gets the specialized care it deserves, whether for daily boarding or expert advice on avian care.

1. Proper Nutrition Is Essential

Exotic birds require a varied and balanced diet that includes pellets, fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, and occasional treats. Many bird owners make the mistake of feeding only seeds, which can lead to nutritional deficiencies. At Brenda and Billy’s Aviary, we ensure that every bird receives the right diet tailored to their species and individual needs.

2. A Safe and Spacious Environment

Exotic birds need room to spread their wings—literally! Their cages should be large enough for them to move around freely and include perches of varying sizes for foot health. Outside-the-cage time is also crucial for mental stimulation and exercise. At Brenda and Billy’s Aviary, we provide secure, spacious enclosures to keep your bird comfortable and safe.

3. Mental and Social Stimulation

Highly intelligent birds like parrots and cockatoos need constant mental engagement to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. Providing toys, puzzles, and social interaction is key to their well-being. Our facility offers enrichment activities, allowing birds to interact safely with caregivers and observe other birds, ensuring they remain engaged and happy.

4. Regular Grooming and Health Checks

Exotic birds require beak, nail, and feather maintenance to stay healthy. Neglected grooming can lead to overgrown beaks and nails, affecting their ability to eat and perch properly. At Brenda and Billy’s Aviary, we provide regular checkups and grooming services, ensuring your bird remains in top condition.

5. A Stress-Free Environment

Birds are highly sensitive to stress, which can weaken their immune system and lead to behavioral problems. Keeping their surroundings calm, avoiding sudden changes, and ensuring they receive consistent care is essential. At our aviary, we maintain a low-stress, bird-friendly atmosphere, making sure every guest feels at home.
