Things NOT to buy your bird (great video)

[noodles123]

Thank goodness this girl made this video! I know we talk about this stuff a lot on here- but it's nice to see it in such an eloquent video format! I will be referencing this again in the future I am sure

I know some may take issue with what she says about mirrors--obviously there are some whose birds who ignore them, but I have known many birds with the issues she described as a result of mirrors (even though that isn't something we talk about a lot on here).

It's a pretty great video (in my opinion):

I watched this before I got my conure and realized I was doing it all wrong with my parakeet... This is a great video!

I’m in a noisy environment now and will watch this later, but I just learned this morning how mirrors can trigger hormonal mayhem.

INCREDIBLY well done and explained. It also points out some of the ways we can be "distracted" into thinking we are doing a good thing. jh
