Behavioral Enrichment for Pet Birds

Pet birds are extraordinary and marvelous creatures that enrich the lives of their owners. However, without the proper environmental conditions, birds can experience an increase in aggression, social avoidance, and self-inflicted injuries. It’s important for owners to create a nurturing and supportive atmosphere that will allow pet birds to express their natural behaviors in a healthy way. Dr. Lynne Seibert, a board-certified veterinary behaviorist from Suwanee, Ga., talks about the importance of behavioral enrichment for pet birds.
