First Feeding & Health Check

Start offering small amounts of food while monitoring your 鳥's appetite, activity, and overall health.

Days 5-7

As your 鳥 settles in, begin regular care routines including feeding, water changes, and temperature monitoring.

If you notice any health issues during the first week, contact the breeder immediately via messaging. Our support team can also assist before arrival confirmation.
