Medium Size Exotic Birds in Kuttanad

Choosing this size band in Kuttanad

In Kuttanad, where homes usually have their own space, size matters less for housing and more for exercise. Given the air stays humid through much of the year, so coat and skin care need attention, the real question is when the activity happens, not how much of it there is.

Local conditions in Kuttanad

The long monsoon is the stretch that needs planning here, Kuttanad being humid coastal. Brush regularly — humidity makes mats and tangles form faster in longer coats. Get that rhythm right early and most of the avoidable problems never arrive.

Costs beyond the purchase

The purchase price is the smaller part of the commitment. Budget for vaccination boosters, routine vet visits, food, grooming and occasional treatment. Grooming frequency in particular is driven by local conditions — in Kuttanad's humid coastal climate, the air stays humid through much of the year, so coat and skin care need attention.

Common mistakes to avoid

Most problems trace back to three things: picking a breed for looks, not matching energy levels to the household, and switching food abruptly. Locally, add a fourth — planning the routine without regard for the long monsoon. Brush regularly — humidity makes mats and tangles form faster in longer coats.

The first week

The first week is about routine, not excitement. Feed at consistent times, keep the same food initially, and let the pet approach people in its own time rather than being passed around. The vaccination record travels with the pet and we are contactable if you have questions.

Feeding and daily routine

Set meal times and stick to them; free-feeding makes it hard to notice when a pet goes off its food. Change diet slowly and only after the pet has settled. Kuttanad's climate means the air stays humid through much of the year, so coat and skin care need attention, so hydration deserves attention. Brush regularly — humidity makes mats and tangles form faster in longer coats.

Health, vaccination and the guarantee

Pets leave us vaccinated, dewormed and health-checked, with documentation included and a 7-day health guarantee from the day of delivery. Continuing the vaccination schedule matters, particularly given the humid coastal conditions in Kuttanad. Brush regularly — humidity makes mats and tangles form faster in longer coats.
