“Birds are amazing animals that can make wonderful pets,” said Dr. Johnson. “It is important for bird owners to understand the proper methods for caring for their feathered friends. Proper nutrition and maintaining a healthy diet are extremely important for birds. If you feed a bird properly, they are less likely to suffer from liver and heart disease.
