There are many common misconceptions about bird care. Here are some examples:
Malnutrition:
Many people believe that bread is a suitable food for birds, but it actually lacks essential nutrients and can cause health problems, such as malnutrition.
Birds need a balanced diet that includes fruits, vegetables, and grains, in addition to seeds. Relying solely on seeds leads to nutrient deficiencies.
How to avoid this mistake:
- Provide a balanced diet that includes seeds, fruits, vegetables, and grains.
- Avoid harmful foods such as chocolate, caffeine, and avocado.
- Avoid bread.

Keeping birds in small cages:
Birds need enough space to fly and move freely. Small cages restrict their movement and cause them stress.
How to avoid this mistake:
- Choose a spacious cage that allows your bird to fly and move freely.
- Place the cage in a quiet, safe place away from drafts and direct sunlight.
- Provide toys and activities to stimulate your bird mentally and physically.

- Provide clean, fresh water at all times.

Believing that all birds are the same:
Birds' needs vary depending on their species. Some birds require a specific diet, while others require a special living environment.
How to avoid this mistake:
Research reliable information about the type of bird you own. Consult veterinarians who specialize in birds, and read scientific books and articles.
Handling birds harshly:
Birds are sensitive creatures that require gentle treatment. Handling them harshly causes them stress and fear.
How to avoid this mistake:
- Spend quality time with your bird and interact with it regularly.
- Talk to your bird and sing to it.
- Treat it gently and kindly.
Neglecting nail, beak, and feather care:
Some birds need regular nail and beak trimming to prevent overgrowth.
When acquiring any type of bird, it is very important to provide all necessary care requirements. This goes beyond food, but you must also ensure that feather cleaning spray, nail care, and beak care are available. These aspects cannot be neglected if you want to maintain a happy and healthy bird.
