Celebrate Your Bird's Special Day on September 17th
Celebrate Your Bird's Special Day on September 17th
Spend the day with your bird on September 17th to celebrate National Pet Bird Day. Birds have been loyal pets to humans for several thousand years, and now they finally have a day that honors their contributions to the world. Although they love to fly around freely, birds enjoy human companionship, and some spend more time perched on their owner’s shoulder than they do in the air. Here are some ways you can celebrate your bird’s special day.
Provide Treats
Like cats and dogs, birds enjoy an indulgent treat as a reward. Give your bird its favorite millet or provide a homemade snack for your friend. You can use seedless grapes, peanut butter, crackers, granola bars or seed cookies.
Introduce New Toys
A brand-new toy is a great way to celebrate National Pet Bird Day. It does not take long for an old toy to become a mangled mess when your bird is in love with it.
Install a new Mirror
Like your bird’s toys, the mirror can take a lot of abuse in a short time. Buy your bird an oversized mirror, and it can spend hours pecking and squawking at it.
Play a Game
Although every bird has different preferences, find an activity that your bird enjoys and spend a few hours playing with your friend. You can create a play area with a cardboard box or lay out a board game and let your bird peck at the game pieces.
Play Music
Your bird probably becomes more animated when it hears its favorite music, and you can play hours of bird-friendly music to keep your avian companion entertained and happy.
