There are surprises in store. Birds add a whole new dimension to pet safety worries. Unlike dogs and cats, birds fly. Birds fly into windows or mirrors, injuring themselves in the process. Decals or curtains allow a flying bird to see them and avoid a crash.
Birds fly out of windows, never to be seen again.
Screens are essential for windows and doors. When a bird is out of its cage, always remain nearby. Even a bird with properly clipped wing feathers can flutter to disaster around the house. Birds have been injured falling into electric beaters in the kitchen. They can fly and land on hot surfaces or into scalding water.
