BIRDIE DISASTER PREPAREDNESS Our birds depend on us for
their safety and well being. The following information will help us be prepared
for an emergency. If you need to evacuate –
TAKE YOUR BIRD WITH YOU! It is a good idea to have a pre-arranged safe place to
bring your feathered friend. Ask friends and relatives that live in different
areas if they would be willing to help out in an emergency. Also contact local
hotels and motels and check on their pet policies. Have a secure TRAVEL CAGE
available at all times. Have enough carriers for all birds (don’t forget your
other pets). Transport your bird in a safe CARRIER.
Have a towel or blanket to
cover the bird if it is stressed or cold. Store a
BIRDIE DISASTER
KIT next to the carrier. It should contain the following:
·
Bottled Water
·
Bird First Aid Kit
·
Food – Seed or Pellets (don’t
forget to rotate your supplies for freshness)

Trail Mix

Dehydrated Fruits and Vegetables
