How to Manage Parrots in the Summer

1. Summer brings a heightened risk of parasites, bacteria, and food spoilage due to the heat. As a result, it's crucial for caregivers to feed their parrots more frequently but with smaller portions. Additionally, regular cleaning of the food and water containers, and frequent water changes, are essential. In the summer, it's also advisable to include a small amount of avoparcin in the parrot's diet and a little disinfectant in their drinking water to maintain water quality.

2. Be vigilant about mosquitoes. These pests can cause significant harm to parrots, especially as they are more susceptible to bites on areas without feathers, like their beaks, feet, and eyes. These bites can lead to inflammation, swelling, and even avian pox. To combat this, caregivers should diligently eliminate mosquitoes from the cage. This can be done using insecticides specifically designed for bird environments, but always follow the instructions carefully. Alternatively, using mosquito repellents outside the cage can also be effective.

3. Beware of bloodsucking insects. These insects are active at night, feeding on the blood of birds and potentially transmitting diseases. They can cause severe harm, even leading to the death of the parrot. These insects often hide during the day in crevices of nests or in food dishes. Caregivers can use insecticides in the cage bedding to combat these pests. If a parrot becomes infected during breeding, consider using gentler cleaning agents for the nest.

4. Allow parrots to rest during molting. Parrots typically molt in July and August. During this period, it's important to stop breeding and ensure the cage and living area are disinfected. Regularly remove feathers from the cage to maintain cleanliness and prevent infections.

5. Prevent overheating. Although parrots are relatively heattolerant, they can still suffer from heatstroke. It's essential to keep the cage and living area cool and wellventilated. If a parrot shows signs of heatstroke, add some Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid or vitamin C to their water to help alleviate symptoms. Additionally, spraying the cage with a mixture of Huoxiang Zhengqi Liquid and water can help cool down the environment.
