Resources
Some of the most commonly asked questions are regarding animal care and husbandry. While we do our best to educate and answer as many questions as possible, time is often limited during grooming sessions and vital information is left out. To avoid that and provide bird owners with convenient, comprehensive answers to our most frequently asked questions, we have provided a list of information and resources to read through at your leisure. We recommend parrot owners read (and reread) this information periodically to keep up to date with the newest standards for the evolving field of animal care.
DISCLAIMER:
-
Some of these resources have conflicting information. That is because there is no one way to care for your bird. Use the methods that work best for your home and lifestyle, and strive for the methods that are recommended by multiple avian veterinarians. These resources have been compiled from local avian veterinarians, and organizations which Loving Pet Salon has deemed reputable. You should do your own research to determine which sources to trust and follow, as not all are created equal. Speak with your avian vet for any questions or clarifications on the needs and husbandry of your specific bird. Loving Pet Salon is not authorized to provide medical advice.
