It's that time of year when ghosts and goblins, fairy princesses and pirates are out roaming the streets asking for candy and?playing Halloween pranks. While this is a fun and exciting time for children (and many adults too!),?bird owners?will need to take a few extra precautions to ensure that?their?bird enjoys the evening too. Here are three crucial steps you can take as a bird owner to guarantee that your bird has a happy and safe Halloween night: 1) Keep your bird away from trick-or-treaters and Halloween festivities. Birds have an incredibly keen sense of sight and are easily disturbed by changes in their environment. Keep your bird calm by keeping her cage in familiar surroundings and out of sight of trick-or-treaters.If you are having a party at home, keep your bird away from the festivities and occupied with some engaging toys. Lots of people, strange smells, and loud noises can spook even the most socialized of birds. Furthermore, stress and shock can cause diarrhea amongst other health concerns, so it's better to be safe than sorry. 2) Keep decorations out of your bird's reach. Jack-O-Lanterns pose a real risk as birds are extremely attracted to the bright orange color (most birds also love pumpkin seeds). A curious bird could easily become stuck in one of the pumpkin's carved holes, or get seriously burned by a lit candle. If you have carved Jack-O-Lanterns for decorations, opt for a battery powered light (most drug stores carry them this time of year) instead of a live flame. Your bird also runs the risk of getting tangled in decorations or receiving a deadly shock from chewing on electrical cords. To keep her safe, let your bird out of her cage only in rooms that are free of Halloween decorations. 3) Keep the candy for the kids. Chocolate contains a lethal ingredient called theobromine, and the darker the chocolate, the more theobromine it contains. Candy wrappers can also be harmful if swallowed. If you want to give your bird a sweet treat, offer her a few of her favorite treats.
