🐦 How to Keep Birds Healthy in Indian Monsoon – Naturally
Protect your feathered friends during the rainy season with simple, herbal care.
🌧️ Why the Monsoon Affects Pet Birds
The Indian monsoon brings much-needed rain, but also humidity, dampness, and sudden temperature shifts. This can cause stress in birds, lower immunity, and create ideal conditions for infections.
Common monsoon-related issues in pet birds:
- Wet feathers and shivering
- Fungal/bacterial infections
- Diarrhea or indigestion
- Aggression or irritability
- Loss of appetite
✅ Signs Your Bird Might Be Struggling
Watch out for these monsoon warning signs:
- Fluffed-up feathers for long periods
- Reduced chirping or activity
- Runny droppings
- Refusal to eat or sudden weight loss
- Excessive scratching or feather picking
🌿 Natural Ways to Keep Birds Healthy This Monsoon
1. Use Herbal Superfood Blends
Adding herbal powders like basil, mint, chamomile, and calendula to their diet can:
- Boost immunity
- Calm nerves and reduce stress
- Improve digestion

2. Keep Their Cage Dry & Warm
- Use clean, dry paper or cloth on the base
- Avoid placing cages in humid corners or near windows

3. Offer Light, Digestive Food
Avoid heavy seed mixes during the monsoon. Give:
- Foxtail millet
- Safflower seeds

4. Give Herbal Baths (Optional)
You can mist birds gently with diluted neem water once a week. It:
