How to help your bird live longer and better.

Only what AAV already cites. No invented flight-mileage page.

1. AAV recommends a formulated diet (pellets); in small species, pellet-only may be linked to kidney problems.

   Move today to pellets with an avian veterinarian.

   guide AAV basic care

   Where: WildVet, La Reina (exotics; no birds-only clinic on the list).

2. AAV asks for exercise, toys and foraging: there is no canine-style brushing parallel for parrots.

   Offer foraging and movement today; not a “magic beak biscuit.”

   guide AAV basic care

   Where: At home. If you need a clinician: WildVet, La Reina.

3. AAV asks for regular checkups and publishes an owner index.

   Book a visit with someone who actually sees birds.

   guide AAV bird owners

   Where: WildVet, La Reina. Or ask at your clinic.

Chocolate, alcohol, caffeine, avocado and very salty food are listed as toxic in the same AAV PDF. We do not invent a parrot longevity trial.
