Things You'll Need
- Small cage
Instructions
Prepare your room for a bird exam. If your bird is a known escape artist, close all windows and doors and have a friend help you to restrain him.
Remove the bird from his cage and gently inspect his back, stomach, and wings for fleas. You will need to separate his feathers with your index finger to get a good look at the flesh underneath.
Place your bird in a safe place, such as a small travel cage or kennel.
Remove the paper lining from the birdcage and inspect his nest, food, and any other items for the presence of fleas. Bird fleas will primarily be found in the nest.
