Owning a pet bird is a special experience. There is nothing quite so unique as the bond between a bird and the person who cares for him or her. It can last decades—a bird or person’s entire lifetime—and enrich the lives of everyone who witnesses it.

Yet, birds are unlike other, more common pets in many ways. One of these is that, for some types of birds, the call to move to a warmer climate stirs in the air every autumn. If you notice bird behavior changes during this key migration season, you aren’t imagining things. 

The team at Ten West Bird and Animal Hospital in San Antonio, Texas, explains why bird behavior changes during the fall and what bird parents can do about it. 

If your pet is constantly scratching, sneezing, or sporting irritated skin, you’re not alone. Allergies are one of the most common reasons pets visit the veterinarian—and one of the most frustrating to figure out. The cycle of flare-itch-repeat can leave pets and their parents feeling stuck.

The good news? You don’t have to keep guessing. With pet allergy testing in San Antonio, there’s a clearer path toward lasting relief.
