Catarrh, especially when caused by allergies, may be triggered by environmental hazards. Try to minimize your exposure to anything that tends to trigger outbursts. If you have any allergens you know of, such as pollen, minimize your exposure to them throughout the day. Smoky places tend to trigger catarrh, so stay away from areas prone to smoke. Air conditioners and heaters tend to dry out air. This can make catarrh worse or trigger it again after it passes. Try to stay away from such environments. If you work in an office that uses an air conditioner or heater, request to sit away from the unit to avoid triggering catarrh. Dry air can make you more prone to catarrh. Buy a humidifier to moisten the air in your home. This can help prevent you from developing catarrh again. You can buy a humidifier online or at a department store.

Q: Place newspaper or paper towel along the bottom of the cage to catch droppings and make for easier clean up. Cages with grates placed a few inches above the bottom of the cage to prevent birds from accessing their waste are recommended. Change the lining every other day. Avoid using cat litter, sand, wood shavings, or other materials in the bottom of the bird cage. Most pet stores sell dishes that will hang from the side of the cage and are made for a bird to perch on. These allow for easy refills and may be more convenient than placing a bowl on the bottom of the cage. You can also use a water bottle in place of or in addition to a water dish. Birds have many opportunities to bathe in the wild, so be sure to provide them with an opportunity to bathe in their cage. Choose a short, heavy, sturdy bowl, fill it with lukewarm water, and place it on the floor of the cage. Alternatively, you can purchase a bird bath that hangs from the side of the cage to prevent moisture from gathering on the floor of the cage. Birds need perches and will spend a lot of their time enjoying them. Provide your bird with perches of different heights, contours, and textures, and place them at varying heights within the cage. For example, place a thick wooden perch horizontally in the cage as well as a thin rope perch positioned at an angle. Toys are essential for your cage, as they provide your bird with stimulation and keep them from becoming bored. Good toys for your bird include mirrors, ladders, swings and bells. You can also put wooden, plastic, or rope toys in the cage for your bird to play with and chew on. Wash your bird's toys often with mild soap and warm water. Rinse them thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely before returning them to the cage. Dangerous toys include toys made from dyed leather and those with "S" hooks or small, removable parts that might be swallowed. "Jingle" style bells are also unsafe because your bird's toes or beak can become trapped in the openings. Avoid overloading the cage with toys. Rotate them out regularly instead so they keep your bird's interest.
A: Line the bottom of the bird cage. Place food and water bowls in the cage. Add a bird bath. Include perches for your bird. Put safe toys in the cage. Avoid dangerous toys.

You can use old blankets that you already have or you can purchase or rent some moving specific blankets from a moving supply company. Start at one end and wrap around the entire circumference of the piece. Make sure to also cover the top and bottom of the item. Pretend like you are wrapping a present and make sure to cover everything. For larger pieces, you will need multiple blankets or pads. It's best if you can remove the legs before packing. If they are not removable, make sure that they are wrapped very carefully. Tightly secure the material by going around each individual leg with the padding and the plastic wrap. You want to be able to see a distinct outline of each table leg. Take hold of the roll of plastic wrap and begin winding it around the piece of furniture. For a sofa, for example, you would start at one arm and go all the way around the sofa with the wrap until you reach your starting point. Wrap each piece of furniture in plastic wrap to keep the blankets or pads from shifting during the move. For long-distance moves, the plastic wrap will also keep dirt from getting to your furniture. After the furniture is wrapped, add cardboard to the corners of large items. To protect pieces such as dressers, place several inches of cardboard under the bottom of the furniture. Bring the rest of the cardboard up so that it covers the base of the item. Bend the cardboard to cover the corners of the furniture. Secure with packing tape. You can do this for pieces of wood furniture, such as a dresser or desk, to keep the corners from getting damaged in the move. Place a piece of strong cardboard over glass tabletops. Secure with packing tape. You might want an extra layer of protection for certain items. If you are particularly worried about scratches or other damage to a piece of wooden furniture, add a layer of bubble wrap on top of the plastic wrap. Take a roll of bubble wrap and wrap it around the entire piece of furniture, securing with tape.
