Birds are very sensitive creatures and can easily get Stressed by changes to their environment. Parties and gatherings, especially around the holidays, can bring lots of noise and Stress into your birds’ environment. Here are a few tips to help Polly feel contented during the chaos:

* Avoid high traffic areas - don’t put your bird “in the line of fire”. This means away from doorways, noisy areas full of guests, and the blaring television, etc.
* Beware strangers bearing Gifts - instruct children not to try to feed your bird any holiday treats which can cause intestinal upset.
* Find a quiet getaway - put your bird in a bedroom or other quiet room and try using a blue or green light bulb in your bedroom lamp. Birds respond well to these calming colors.

In general, your bird will deal with its stress by exhibiting Nervous behavior such as feather picking. If your bird is a chronic feather-picker with no physical cause determined by your veterinarian, you can often improve this behavior by reducing the stress your bird is exposed to.

Placing your bird in a back bedroom with the blue or green light on will help decrease stress and Anxiety. Aromatherapy may help some birds by using flowers or fragrances from places the birds originated from. (i.e. Passionflower, gardenia, or Sandalwood= tropical birds and Bach Flowers, Rose, and Chamomile=other birds)
