Birds need 12 hours of uninterrupted sleep a night
Birds should be covered at night to ensure a quiet, undisturbed sleep
Bathing
Birds should be lightly misted on a daily basis to keep their feathers in good health
Food
An all seed diet is very unhealthy for birds and can lead to a vast amount of health problems
Birds should eat a variety of foods including grains, fresh vegetables, meats, fruits and nuts
Lighting
Birds need full spectrum lighting daily. Since most companion birds are kept indoors they need access to Full Spectrum lighting (which can not be obtained by putting a bird near a window) in order to keep their feathers in good health. Full Spectrum light bulbs mimic the benefits of natural sunlight
