As the leaves begin to change and temperatures start to drop, autumn brings unique challenges for our feathered companions. Whether you’re caring for backyard chickens, pet birds, or welcoming wild visitors to your garden, a few small adjustments can go a long way this autumn.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Why Autumn Matters for Bird Health<\/h1>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Autumn is a critical transition period for all birds. As daylight hours decrease and temperatures fluctuate, our feathered friends face natural stressors that can impact their immune systems, molting cycles, and overall wellbeing. Wild birds are preparing for migration or winter survival, while domestic birds need our help adapting to seasonal changes.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The shorter days trigger hormonal changes that affect everything from egg production to feather growth. Understanding these natural cycles helps us provide better care during this transitional season.<\/p>\r\n
