Re-inventing the avian environment.

Introduction

Re-inventing the avian environment.

The Vision Home for Birds continues the “less mess” tradition of bird cage design pioneered by the original Vision® Living Space for Birds.

The majority of bird cages on the market today come equipped with a pull-out drawer. One of the disadvantages of a pull-out drawer is that often the drawer itself is smaller than the cage base. This means that the bird waste often misses the drawer, dropping on to the base, thus forcing the consumer to dismantle the cage in order to clean the base as well as the drawer – often a time-consuming and messy process.

As we all know birds, while making wonderful companions, can be quite messy. Their movements cause air currents which, in the case of most standard bird cages, cause waste, feathers and seed debris to be ejected from the cage and onto the floor. In the case of the Vision® Home for Birds, the combination of debris guard, deep base and the placement of the seed/water cups help combat air currents to keep the majority of the waste and debris inside the cage. This reduces the amount of mess and the time-consuming clean ups associated with bird keeping, leaving you more time to enjoy your pet. Vision® Home for Birds are available in single home and tall home models, with each model available in Small, Medium and Large sizes.

With the Vision® Home for Birds – we’ve eliminated the drawer. The “no drawer” cage design simplifies cage cleaning – just detach the cage portion from the base portion and empty the contents of the base into the waste bin.

Hagen VME

Living World Premium

Over the years, Hagen seeds have become favorites among bird owners.

Living World Premium Food is a premium seed mix that contains assorted exotic seeds, nuts, naturally grown fruits and vegetables, with added Tropican Granules. The Living World Premium food provides tasty selections of the finest seeds and nuts birds would forage in the wild. It can be a good diet base when combined with the appropriate fresh fruits and vegetables. Traditional mixes like Living World Premium Food require the use of Prime Supplement.

The safe, effective C02 (carbon dioxide) treatment of every bag also eliminates insect problems, without harmful chemical contamination. Hagen Freshness begins with the high-quality products we put in our air-barrier bags. Seeds specifically grown for pet birds to the highest standards, and mixed according to years of applied research and experience. A complete selection of seeds and treats for birds of all kinds. With traditional seed mixes, birds tend to become picky eaters, often selecting only one or two favorite seed types out of a seed mix. This may lead to an inadequate diet. Hagen Vitamin and Mineral Enriched Seeds (VME) not only offer a variety of fresh seeds, they also provide favorite seed kernels (hulled seeds) that are coated with important VME nutrients. As birds consume these familiar morsels, they receive extra vitamins and minerals. Provides extra vitamins and minerals needed for excellent health •

Vitamin and mineral-enriched hulled seeds are a favorite among parakeets

• Air barrier bag seals in freshness; keeps insects out, helps maintain vitamin potency

Fresh Greens and Fruits Birds can get natural vitamins from fresh greens and fruits. Celery, broccoli, spinach, romaine lettuce, endive, orange slices, fresh corn, carrot tops, clean dandelions, clover and chickweed are favorites among cockatiels, budgies, lovebirds, canaries and finches. Larger birds also enjoy these items along with other fresh foods such as apples, berries, pomegranates and grapes. Wash thoroughly before feeding. These foods are all excellent vehicles for Prime vitamin and mineral supplement. Just sprinkle lightly before offering. Fresh greens and fruits don’t cause diarrhea but can create polyuria (excess water excretion) due to high water content. This is not harmful to the bird.

*Traditional see mixes like Hagen food require the use of Prime Supplement.

Remove all uneaten fresh food.

Supplements PRIME

Living World Spray Millet

Prime is a complete dietary supplement that can produce advanced support in stressful situations. Prime contains lysine and methionine that are essential during feather replacement (moulting). It can be used in drinking water, but is preferred on food. Prime easily penetrates or coats foods such as fruit slices, greens, egg food, small seeds and spray millet. Prime delivers 14 vitamins, extra antioxidant vitamins such as C & E, trace minerals such as iodine, and essential minerals such as calcium. Prime is one of the highest calcium supplements available. Special beneficial bacteria help lower the pH of the digestive tract and may help suppress the growth of harmful organisms. Prime is based on a phosphorus-free, naturally sweet calcium source (calcium gluconate). Calcium deficiency is one of the most common and serious nutritional problems of pet birds. Many ordinary vitamin supplements contain no calcium and use cheaper carriers such as sugar, which adds little to the supplement’s potency.

Living World Cuttlebones A bird’s beak grows continually, it must be worn down through regular use or it will create problems. In addition to being an excellent source of minerals, Cuttlebones and Mineral Blocks provide a convenient way to help birds keep their beaks trimmed. Iodine deficiency is common and serious in pet budgies. Iodine Block provides iodine dietary supplements and should be made available to all budgies. Cuttlebones and mineral blocks are great calcium and mineral sources.

Companion birds will benefit from having Spray Millet as part of their diets. Nutritious and delicious, this irresistible treat will please all small companion birds. This all natural millet is freshly harvested from wild and does not contain any additives. Spray Millet should be introduced when bringing a new bird home. It will be the first food a hungry bird will eat regardless of other food present in the cage- Ideal for: growing nestlings, young birds, breeding or moulting adult birds. Spray millet and honey sticks encourage birds to work for their food, promoting natural foraging behavior. Plus, as any bird owner can tell you, birds love these items! • Fresh Picked • 100% natural treat •

Use during breeding or moulting

• For all caged and outdoor birds.

Living World Treats Honey Sticks feeding methods simulate natural feeding patterns found in native habitats. Each treat contains only the finest selected ingredient and has been molded into a stick.

• Excellent for feeding and chewing exercise • Honey, lecithin and essential minerals help keep a balanced diet • Provides high energy and nutrition

Hagen Grit and Seed Treats

Health Care

HAGEN TREAT MIX contains only the highest quality seeds blended expressly for the nutritional needs of birds. All seeds are specially selected for high nutrition and taste appeal. They are air cleaned and then polished to ensure a dust free, appetizing mixture eagerly sought by birds.

Wash your hands before and after handling birds. Maintain a routine cleaning schedule. Keep all food and water containers clean, wash daily if possible. Throw out any containers, toys or utensils that are cracked, badly scratched or chipped.

Some birds instinctively know that some trace minerals are found in naturally occurring grits. Since parrot-type birds remove the seed shells, they probably require little grit-based grinding action as their gizzard seems more than able to handle the job even without any grit. Pet doves, quail and pigeons require grit because they do not shell their seed. Many pet birds do not get all the minerals they need, so periodically offer small amounts of a mineral grit substance such as Oyster Shell. This hard grit is an excellent source of calcium.

Keep perches clean and replace regularly. Store bird seeds in airtight containers in a cool, dark place. Be careful about exposing pet birds to other birds (i.e. during boarding or grooming) and use caution when introducing new birds. Talk to your veterinarian about a quarantine period.

Pet bird care should be a shared family responsibility. • Ask your pet shop retailer about the best species for your lifestyle. • A bird cage should be spacious, secure, and cleaned frequently. • Always have fresh food and water changed daily. • Keep bird cages in a safe location, away from dangers such as direct sunlight, kitchen fumes, cold temperatures and predators. • Secure your home from any potential dangers before letting your bird fly around freely; always monitor its flight. • Never chain down a bird—clipping flight feathers is a safe and humane way to prevent pet birds from escape or injury.

Seed treats add variety and interest to a regular diet. They should be alternated to provide different nutrients and textures. Birds on a Tropican diet should be hand fed small amounts of seed treats.

• Know your bird—any change in normal behavior could be a sign of illness. • If your bird’s beak, wings or nails require trimming, let a veterinarian or avian expert show you how to do it first. • Most birds, especially very young ones, need attention; take the time to play with them. • Plain seed mixes can lead to obesity as well as deficiencies in calcium and vitamins. Try to feed your bird formulated diets or at least provide nutritional seed supplements. • Birds should visit the vet at least once a year.
