5 Things Pet Birds Find Frightening

1. Being held or touched
Birds must acclimate slowly to their owners and anyone else who wants to handle the bird. Gradually desensitize your bird to being touched, which will help make caring for your bird, vet visits, and having visitors more comfortable for both of you.

2. The dark
Birds often fear the dark, and some pet birds may require lights at night to sleep peacefully.

3. New items in the cage
If a bird isn’t familiar with a toy or new item, it may show a fear response until it’s sure that the item won’t cause harm.

4. Other pets
If your bird lives with cats or dogs, your bird may never get used to them. If your other pets have attempted to play with or catch your bird, that could make things even worse.

5. Color
Birds don’t see color exactly the way we do — they see more! If a new shirt is causing your bird to panic, it could be a UV spectrum color you don’t even know is there. Changing shirts may help. Or, introducing your bird more slowly to your new shirt is also an option.
