Bird Safety Tips – In a room in House

For birds, you must consider everything from floor to ceiling.

Make sure that their landing spot isn't in a boiling pot of water, on top of a hot light bulb or any other dangerous location in your house.

Remove any sharp edge or dangerous locations that it can fly into or land on. A hot light bulb is a potentially dangerous landing spot for birds.

Remove or secure all toxic substances that it can chew on. Take a few minutes for Bird Safety any toxic items in your house (pesticides, cleaning materials, etc).

Remove anything of value that you don't want chewed up or destroyed. Birds love to explore with their beaks and exploring that new leather couch you just bought seems like a really good idea to a parrot.

Don't use Teflon. Overheating Teflon causes it to release gases that are toxic and often lethal for birds.

Nobody intentionally overheats Teflon pans but leaving one on the stove accidentally could be disastrous.

Close the toilet lid if the room is a restroom. Landing in a toilet full of water could be disastrous.

A closed toilet lid makes a toilet a bird-safe/bird-proof toilet.

Remove or turn off all fans (ceiling, floor, and window).

Keep windows closed and covered so it doesn't attempt to fly out of them.

There are also stickers that can be applied to windows to let the birds know that there is a window there instead of just a free flight path to another room or outside.

Lift all electrical cords up off the ground out of reach.

Beaks and electrical lines do not mix! ZAP!

Also don't forget about electrical cords hanging down to ceiling lights.

Keep all containers of liquids or dangerous materials closed that are large enough for your bird to land in.

Landing in any bucket or container with liquid or any other dangerous items could be lethal.

Keep these containers stored away out of reach or at least covered.

Keep all predators (cats, dogs, hateful neighbor kids, etc) out of the room/house.
