Bird Disaster Kits

Here are some items you want to be sure to include in your bird’s disaster kit:

Be sure to keep about 7 days worth of feed for your bird – remember to watch the expiration dates!

You should have at least 3 days worth of water in your kit (don’t forget a bowl!) We like this collapsible kind, but any container could work.

Keep a travel bird carrier, and train your bird to load into it. If your bird is not hand tamed, a pillowcase is a gentle way to catch your bird to load it into the carrier. Don’t forget to bring a cover for it – birds are much calmer when in the dark.

Paper towels are great, compact cage liners for your bird in a pinch!

Keep up to date medical records on your pet, including vaccine history. Some emergency shelters may require it to house your pet. Also, keep a week’s worth of your pet’s medication in your kit – watch the expiration dates!

A basic First Aid kit could prove useful in a disaster. Much of what you find in a human kit is fine for your pet as well, so you don’t necessarily have to purchase a special one just for him.

You may need to evacuate to a nearby hotel or motel. Keep a list of pet friendly places in your kit so you know where to go.
