If water may contain a blue-green algae bloom, keep your dog out. You cannot confirm that a bloom is harmless by looking at it, and dogs can be seriously affected.
A bird’s breathing zone is the whole room. Prevent exposure to overheated non-stick products, smoke, aerosols and strong fumes, and know when breathing changes are an emergency.
Use local air-quality alerts, reduce smoke entering the home and adapt exercise, habitat care and evacuation plans for the animals who depend on you.
Eating less or stopping food can be the first visible sign of dental pain, digestive disease, infection or another serious problem. Call a guinea-pig-experienced veterinarian promptly.
Use supervision, frequent opportunities and immediate rewards to teach where to toilet—without creating fear around accidents.

A clear tank is not necessarily a ready tank. Establish biological filtration and verify water chemistry before stocking.
Start with the exact species, create useful choices across the enclosure and test the complete habitat before the animal arrives.
Plan beyond the enclosure: air quality, open water, windows, fans, cords, metals and kitchen fumes can all affect a companion bird.
