Texas weather can be unpredictable, and a particularly windy day can be challenging for our feathered friend, Julius the umbrella cockatoo. Here’s how we helped Julius navigate a blustery Texas day. The day began with strong gusts shaking the trees and rattling windows. Julius, usually curious about the outside world, seemed unsettled by the noise. We ensured all windows and doors were securely closed to keep the wind and noise at bay.To help Julius feel more secure, we moved his cage away from the windows to a quieter, more sheltered spot in the house. This reduced his anxiety and kept him safe from any potential drafts. We engaged Julius with indoor activities to distract him from the wind. We introduced new toys and interactive games, which helped keep his mind occupied and reduced his stress. Additionally, we played some soothing music to create a calming environment, masking the sound of the wind outside. Throughout the day, we made sure to give Julius plenty of attention and reassurance. Regular petting and gentle talking helped him feel secure despite the unsettling weather. We also kept an eye on the temperature, ensuring the house stayed warm and comfortable for him. As the wind continued to howl outside, we made sure Julius had access to his favorite treats. A bit of extra pampering with his favorite foods helped keep his spirits up. By evening, the wind had died down, and Julius had managed to stay calm and content throughout the day. Surviving a windy Texas day was a team effort, ensuring our beloved cockatoo felt safe and secure despite the blustery conditions.
