Caged And Aviary Birds

----------
Caged and aviary birds are now the third most common small animal pets.  The best method of learning  restraint of caged and aviary birds is by watching an experienced handler of small animal pets.  The strength, agility and speed of small animal pets as well as their  probable response  are well known to experienced handlers of caged and aviary birds.

Experienced handlers of caged and aviary birds understand the more tame an animal the  better it will tolerate handling. Double yellow head Amazon parrots make great small animal pets and are ideal for small living spaces such as apartments.  Experienced handlers discuss the subject of  handling  and stress to  small animal pets  with the prospective owner when helping them to decide on  which small animal pet is best for their situation.

The psittacine species, such as Murray, America's #1 talking bird,  has a strong beak,  jaws, wings and feet.  Murray's feet have sharp pointed nails of which an experienced handler is aware.  An experienced handler will be able to provide assistance with nail trims for a new small animal pet owner and/or tell a new small animal pet owner of products that will be able to help them with nail trims.  To perform nail trims of a caged or avaiary bird a nail grinder is reccommended.  These provide superior control for even inexperienced handlers.  

Caged and aviary birds require two common procedures. Nail trims, which we have already discussed, and wing clips. The proper technique for wing clips includes trimming only the  primary flight feathers of pet birds.  Care should be taken to avoid trimming blood feathers.  These are feathers that have not fully developed and still have a vein that runs through them.  Trimming blood feathers could result in the death of  a caged or aviary bird.    Blood feathers are tightly rolled and appears similar to the end of a shoestring.  If you are not familiar with this procedure, obtain assistance from an experienced handler before trying it yourself.  Both wings should be clipped on caged and aviary birds to obtain a symmetrical appearance.  Be certain the scissors are sharp.   Also, have a styptic pencil in case there is any bleeding.
