Managing stress, shows, sales, travel and trips to the vetStress is a normal, healthy reaction to unusual conditions. Birds are easily stressed and the first response of any animal to stress is to reduce the blood supply to the gut. If the stress is prolonged this can lead to poor gut function. Stressed birds don't look good, don't sell well and don't Win shows.The secrets to avoiding stress are to increase the body's natural energy stores (in the liver and muscles) and to provide electrolytes to maintain the body's water balance. To achieve this give Spark or Guardian Angel for two days prior to travel. Continue during the event and for two days after.
