Exercise in pet birds is probably the most neglected aspect of their care second only to nutrition. Everyone understands that dogs need to go for walks, fish swim, cats play and birds fly, yet they are cage bound or clipped and remain fairly sedentary for most of their lives. This can create long term chronic health conditions such as obesity and heart problems (just like in humans!).<\/p>\n

To help keep birds fit always house them in the largest cage you can afford (this is especially important for finches, canaries and softbills), and when possible don't make wing clipping a permanent procedure for parrots and parakeets. Flying burns a lot of energy, is stimulating and can help keep your pet in good physical and mental health.<\/p>\n

Si la coupe des ailes est absolument n\u00e9cessaire ou si vous poss\u00e9dez un oiseau handicap\u00e9, vous pouvez toujours favoriser le battement des ailes en tenant fermement les pattes de votre oiseau (mais pas trop serr\u00e9es) et en laissant tomber doucement vos bras vers le bas, for\u00e7ant votre oiseau \u00e0 battre des ailes pour garder l’\u00e9quilibre. Commencez par le faire seulement quelques fois par jour, puis allongez progressivement les s\u00e9ances.<\/p>\n

Bien que presque tous les passereaux (pinsons, canaris, becs mous, etc.) ne soient presque jamais apprivois\u00e9s et ne devraient jamais avoir les ailes coup\u00e9es une fois qu’ils se sont acclimat\u00e9s \u00e0 votre maison, vous pouvez ouvrir la porte de leur cage dans une zone s\u00e9curis\u00e9e sous surveillance pour les laisser voler et entrer et sortir \u00e0 leur convenance.<\/p>\n

Le vol libre pr\u00e9sente toujours de gros risques, alors soyez prudent lorsque vous l’autorisez. Fermez les rideaux, assurez-vous qu’il n’y a pas de pots ouverts ou de plans d’eau tels que des toilettes accessibles, fermez les fen\u00eatres et\/ou les portes et soyez conscient de la pr\u00e9sence de plantes ou de mat\u00e9riaux toxiques dans la maison.<\/p>\n
