During the holidays parrots and parrot owners are well aware of how birds are extremely sensitive to fumes from your kitchen.
This year as you prepare meals for holiday gatherings be mindful of your feathered friend's lungs. Place parrots and other birds away from kitchen fumes.
If you have friends that smoke, ask them to smoke outside so that you don't end a wonderful party only to find your parrot suffering from nicotine and smoke inhalation poisoning.
It only takes a few minutes for a bird to start showing signs of illness that include runny and congested nares, blood coming from the nares, labored breathing and sneezing.
Candles, home fragrant sprays such as Freebreeze, Glade and Lysol are fatal to birds. Open windows to air out rooms. Place birds away from rooms with sprays, candles and air fresheners. And keep your avian vet's number stored in your cell phone or on the fridge to quickly address emergencies.
Help your feathered friend have a safe and happy holiday all the way into the new year.
