Birds are wonderfully smart animals, making them exceptionally great companions. Owning a bird is very different from owning a dog or a cat; birds require completely different care than your average furry friend. The first step in taking care of your bird properly is knowing what products your bird will need to be healthy and happy. So, in honor of National Adopt a Rescue Bird Month, here are our top ten most popular bird products that will help you successfully care for your feathered friend.
