Haha, that’s hilarious! I imagine my bird would do the same. But really, what about steam baths for clearing up congestion?
Steam baths could be helpful! Just make sure the water isn’t too hot. An open bathroom door while you shower works well sometimes.
True! It’s a calming experience for them, too. We all want our birds to feel comfortable while recovering.
Hi everyone! I’ve had some success with keeping my birds healthy through a good diet. Fresh fruits and vegetables can really boost their immune systems. Just make sure to avoid anything toxic for them!
Absolutely! I also add probiotics to their water. It really helps in promoting good gut health, which is essential for a strong immune system!

Cleaning is so important! Make sure to regularly clean their cages and remove any moldy or spoiled food. A clean environment can significantly reduce the risk of respiratory infections.

Great point! I use a vinegar solution to clean. It’s natural and effective at killing bacteria without harming the birds!

I’ve heard that regularly providing a mist bath helps with respiratory health. It can keep their feathers in good condition and helps clear their sinuses too!
Yes! I’ve noticed my birds enjoy the mist, and they look so much happier. Plus, it’s a fun way for them to play!
Don’t forget about the importance of ventilation! Keeping air circulation good in their living space can help prevent respiratory issues.
No arguing that! I also make sure to keep their area away from smoke or fumes. Birds have such sensitive respiratory systems.
Has anyone tried using essential oils? I’ve heard diluted eucalyptus can sometimes help with respiratory issues, but I’m a bit skeptical about it.

I think essential oils can be risky, though! It’s best to consult with a vet before trying anything like that.
To keep my birds from getting respiratory infections, I play music for them. It might sound silly, but it seems to keep them calm and happy, promoting better overall health!
