Emergency Supply Kit – Birds

Emergency Supply Kit – Birds

Courtesy of Red Rover: Bring Animals from Crsis to Care

The following items are recommended for inclusion in an emergency supply kit specifically for birds. Prepare one kit for each bird in your household.

Food and Water:

  • One-month supply of pellets/seed mix
  • Two-week supply of water Eight small jars of baby food/fruit in natural juice cups
  • Supplements

Although normally a two-week supply of food is recommended, bird food is not a priority item for stores to restock after a disaster, so it is advisable to have a one-month supply on hand. Baby food is an excellent source of fruits and vegetables for birds when fresh produce is not available. However, read the label to ensure that there is not too much vitamin and mineral supplementation.

Housing and Transportation:

  • Hard-sided pet carrier with low perch inside and contact details written in permanent ink
  • Small cage with perches for safe housing

  • Pictures of your bird with close ups of any distinguishing marks or features

  • Hot and cool instant packs
  • Battery- powered fan
  • Medications
  • Contact numbers for your vet, and a vet out of disaster area
  • Trash bags
