Anyone else have parrots who aren’t fans of fireworks? Nico’s already fallen off his perch. A firework went off at 11pm, and it startled him. He must sleep hard. My dogs aren’t fans of fireworks either. I enjoy fireworks but don’t enjoy dealing with my sleep deprived feathered or hair ball family members afterwards.

I have some neighbors who do a lot of fireworks for no reason. During the summer, there are illegal fireworks almost every night. I don't currently have birds, but when I did they all seemed to lose sleep during the fireworks and were tired in the morning. Luckily they all seemed to get accustomed to it eventually.
 
🧨Happy 4th🧨! Neither my CAG, dogs or cats show anything with fireworks. One dog will growl if they're too close to house. I may have made a miscalculation with a new toy for my CAG. Received it yesterday. She showed interest as I removed it from pkg. Then wanted out of cage to investigate. She began touching and inspecting it immediately. Toy is larger than anticipated. She knocks it and it chimes. Similar to wind chimes. She chimed it at her lights out telling me to go to bed, at dawn, lights on, and randomly. It won't replace her Kong or chew items. It's another outlet for boredom prevention. It's name doesn't really fit. But I guess 'chimer' isn't a marketing name. Yes expensive. It's well made. O rings are welded. It has an actual heavy duty parrot clamp!

Happy Independence Day!
My birds couldn’t care less about fireworks ( though being far away from town, no one is setting off fireworks right next door). One of the dogs hates them and hides. The other is completely unbothered.
 
My bird is not fazed by fireworks or even hurricanes! He has been through a few hurricanes when it sounded like a train was coming through the house for hours on end, but he just went on with his business—preening and snacking. His vet said quite a few birds are seriously traumatized by these things. Just goes to show that each bird is an individual with its own quirks and peculiarities.

Happy Independence Day! šŸŽ†šŸŽ‡

This one is not a fan of fire works what so ever. So I made him up a distraction toy. There are probably 50 crumbled up pieces of magazine paper in here with only 2 treats. He’ll be hanging upside down for awhile, and hopefully get tired. For how much this bird hangs upside down I’m surprised his brain still functions.

Definitely enter this photo in the POTM contest. Blue is flawlessly executing the inverse parrot 2-1/2 with a twist! 🤣
 
He entered with a different photo
