Hi Everyone,
Question to the Bird community here....How well is everyone prepared for emergencies and how well have you included the parrot in your emergency protocols?
Reason I asked, is last year we had a close call with a tornado, rush to basement type of scenario. Must say I was not at all prepared for parrots in a situation like this. They never seen the basement so it was rather a spooky and nervously scared time of them that day. Not perch, no food, no water down there is such a quick response to potential danger. it passed us by, but not without some very strong winds, but we were spared.
Must say now I am well prepared...I have to all but wonder what would have happened if we gotten a direct hit, allowed time to get birds, or being trapped in basement for a day to a week. Scary thought huh??
