Terms of Use
These terms apply to anyone using PetsAndBirds.org. By using the site, you agree to them.
If you don’t agree, please don’t use the site.
Effective date: 10/05/2026 Last updated: 10/05/2026
Who runs the site
PetsAndBirds.org is operated by BD Save Birds Program, based in Bangladesh. “We,” “us,” and “our” mean BD Save Birds Program. “You” means anyone using the site.
What the site offers
General reference information about pet birds: choosing a species, costs, lifespans, care, health, living with other pets, household and garden safety, and gear. Most of it draws on veterinary references, universities, and government agencies, as our editorial policy explains.
The guides are written for bird keepers in the United States.
What the site isn’t
Not veterinary advice. Reading the site doesn’t create a relationship with a veterinarian, and nothing here replaces an examination.
Not tailored to your bird. The guides don’t know your bird’s species, age, weight, history, or medications.
Not legal advice. We explain wildlife and pet laws in general terms. For your own situation, check with your state wildlife agency or a lawyer.
Not a product label. The label on a product, a garden treatment, or a bag of food governs how to use it. Where the label and the site differ, follow the label.
Bird emergencies
The site isn’t an emergency service, and nobody monitors it for urgent questions.
A bird sitting fluffed up on the cage floor, breathing hard, bleeding, or touched by a cat needs a veterinarian, often the same day. Don’t wait on a web page or an email.
Find an avian vet and the nearest emergency animal hospital before you need them. For a possible poisoning, call your vet or a pet poison control line right away.
Your decisions
Choosing, housing, and feeding a bird are your decisions, and your bird lives with the results.
A sudden diet change can leave a bird refusing food. Fumes from overheated nonstick cookware can kill a bird in another room. A large parrot can outlive the person who brings it home.
You’re responsible for the care of your own birds. Check what you read here against your avian vet’s advice and your own bird’s needs before you act on it.
We work hard to get the facts right and to show where they came from. That effort doesn’t make your decisions ours.
Medications, supplements, and treatment
We publish no doses and don’t recommend specific medications or supplements. Treatment for illness or injury, including how much and for how long, is for your avian vet to decide.
Laws about birds
You’re responsible for following the laws that apply to you. Federal law protects most native wild birds, some states restrict certain pet species, and local rules can limit how many birds you keep. Guides describe these rules in general terms and can’t cover every state or city.
Product and garden safety
When a guide discusses a household or garden product, follow the product’s label. Labels change, and the one on the package in your hand is the one that applies.
Accuracy and updates
We check figures against their sources before publishing and fix errors when we find them. Even so, we can’t promise the site is complete, accurate, or current at every moment. Research is revised, laws change, and products are redesigned.
If you spot an error, tell us at editor@petsandbirds.org.

Content ownership
The text, charts, illustrations, and design of this site belong to BD Save Birds Program unless a page says otherwise.
Material from veterinary schools, agencies, and other sources belongs to its publishers. Product and brand names belong to their owners.
Affiliate links
Some pages contain affiliate links that may earn us a commission at no extra cost to you. Purchases are between you and the retailer, under the retailer’s terms. Our affiliate disclosure explains how this works.
Links to other sites
We mention and link to other sites when they’re useful. We don’t control them, and we aren’t responsible for their content, accuracy, or privacy practices.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, we aren’t liable for any loss arising from your use of the site or your reliance on it.
That includes the illness, injury, or death of a bird or any other animal, veterinary costs, the cost of birds, food, or products, and any indirect or consequential loss.
Where the law doesn’t allow some of these limits, our liability is limited to the minimum the law permits.
Indemnity
If your misuse of the site or breach of these terms leads to a claim against us, you agree to cover the resulting costs.
Availability
We aim to keep the site available, but we can’t promise it will always be online or free of errors. We may change, pause, or remove any part of it without notice.
Comments and submissions
Anything you post or send must be your own and lawful, and you give us permission to publish, edit, or remove it.
We remove comments that give doses, offer birds for sale, encourage keeping wild birds, or promote products.
Privacy
Our privacy policy explains what we collect and how we use it. It forms part of these terms.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The date at the top changes when we do, and continuing to use the site means you accept the updated terms.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Bangladesh, and disputes that can’t be settled informally will go to the courts of Bangladesh.
If you live where consumer protections can’t be waived by agreement, those protections still apply to you.
If part of these terms fails
If a court finds any part of these terms unenforceable, the rest still applies.
