🚨🦜 Poison Prevention Week: Protect Your Bird from Hidden Household Dangers 🦜🚨

It’s Poison Prevention Week—a perfect reminder that many everyday household items can pose serious risks to our feathered companions. Birds are especially sensitive to airborne toxins, certain foods, plants, and common products we may not think twice about.

From nonstick cookware fumes and aerosol sprays to toxic plants and heavy metals, prevention starts with awareness.

The Association of Avian Veterinarians has created a helpful handout:
“Protecting Your Bird from Household Dangers” — designed specifically for bird owners who want to create a safer home environment.

✔️ Easy-to-read guidance
✔️ Practical prevention tips
✔️ Available in multiple languages
✔️ Free to download

Access it anytime on our Bird Owner Resources page:

Share this resource with fellow bird lovers and help us keep companion birds safe and healthy—not just this week, but all year long. 💚

Find Out How You Can Shut Down Bird Mills!
In 2025, World Animal Protection conducted a first-of-its-kind undercover investigation at three bird mills that supply parrots to pet stores across the country.
We found filthy, crowded cages, dead baby birds, and birds suffocated to death. This is the reality for parrots in the pet industry. Hundreds of thousands of parrots are bred in mills and shipped to pet stores across the US every year.
