Birds are particularly vulnerable to air pollution due to their sensitive respiratory systems—making the current wildfire conditions in California especially dangerous for our feathered friends.
The Association of Avian Veterinarians (AAV) has created a helpful handout, "Protecting Your Pet Bird from Environmental Air Pollution," to guide bird owners and veterinarians in keeping birds safe during poor air quality events.
This resource includes tips on:
✅ Minimizing your bird's exposure to smoke and pollutants
✅ Recognizing signs of respiratory distress
✅ Creating a safe indoor environment

Let’s work together to protect our birds during this challenging time.
