Accidents can happen to anybody, and anywhere. If your budgie is in a cage, in the event of a fire accident, then the fire fighters have atleast a chance, of grabbing the cage. But what can they do, if the budgie is left loose, flying around the room? = = Budgie Safety It is not just a fire accident; it could be anything - the gas can spring a leak, the electrical system can go crazy - well, almost anything. It is obvious that you cannot watch your bird, all the time. And it is here, that the cage comes in. One of the purposes of the cage is to keep your budgie relatively confined, and prevent it from falling, or picking up a momentum, that may harm it. Let's assume that your bird is scared could be the thunder, or even your car engine. Your budgie is alarmed, and could fly headfirst into the wall, into a mirror or even a window. Birds have only a small amount of blood. If there is nobody around to rush your budgie to the hospital, in case of injuries, such a badly broken wing, then, it'll be too late to repent. Budgies also like to chew. If your pet happens to chew on a wire, then it is history. It could well be the very first time your budgie has actually chewed on something like that. Think it'll not happen to your budgie? Well, that's what many assume before an accident actually happens. Budgie Safety Your budgie can be unpredictable, in spite of hours of taming and training. The point here is not to spook you. It is just to tell you that your pet is your responsibility. Think of it as your 3-year old, and you'll know exactly how much the bird depends on you, for its well-being. A) All reflective surfaces like mirrors, T.V. screens, etc., must be covered before the budgie is let out. How to differentiate between air and glass is not something that these birds understand. B) Arrange real plants, in another room. Don't take a chance because budgies can just about nibble on anything. C) Keep your other pets away from budgies. You cannot blame a cat for its hunting instincts, can you? D) Keep your budgie's cage in a place where the temperature is 12 ways you can minimize any chances of accidents, to keep your budgie safe. Budgie Safety Cage prevents your budgie from falling, or picking up a momentum, that may harm it. even. Do not leave it a place that is too hot, 'cause the heat can get it. Leaving your budgie too close to something like next to the radiator can cause loss of feathers; keeping it in a draughty place can kill it. E) Regardless of how busy your day is, make sure you provide your bird with fresh water and seeds. And keep the cage clean. |
