Do you live near where they shoot off fireworks? Do your neighbors shoot off fireworks? How do your birds react to the BOOMS? and what do you do to calm them?

We always put our fids to bed early on the 4th. We also make sure they have some soft music playing in the room where the night cages are, even tho this is not the normal routine for the room. We do not have a large display by us, but we also have the brand new HS right down the street, so I'm sure they will be having a big gathering there this year now that it is open..... we shall see!

We put the TV on loud to watch the fireworks and simulcast music on the radio, it seems to work.

It's not a problem here. Mine don't seem to notice anything at all. They aren't phased by those wall shaking claps of thunder we get sometimes either.
Fireworks are forbidden here now because of a roof fire a few years ago. But even before that they never cared.
They do fireworks on the common ground each year on the fourth. Each year I am terrified. Each year when it starts, I go down and check on the birds. Each year they are dead, sound asleep.
