Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

People adopt pet birds for different reasons. There may be some who find feathered friends extremely relaxing and love the colourful plumage. While, there are others who take interest on the ability of some birds to adapt human language.  

Pet birds can be both those common and domesticated breeds of birds.  People have taking care of birds since three to four centuries ago.  These birds graced numerous kingdoms and palaces before it entered out living rooms.

So, if you are thinking of getting a feathered friend and unsure about what to pick out, there are some considerations that you have to think about.  This would include ability to handle additional financial obligations and taking care of a pet.  Birds are not easy maintenance pets, unlike what most people think.  They are social animals who need attention from their owners.  And you can be surprised how long these birds can live!

If you have fully considered taking care of a bird but indecisive  of what kind you can take care of, here are some information about the most popular bird choices: 

• Parakeets – this bird can also be called a Budgerigar or sometimes Budgies.If you are just a starting bird owner, these birds are ideal they are sociable towards each other and to humans.  Their size range from small to medium making it easier to care for compared with big birds.  Their life expectancy is about 12 to 14 years. But they tend to be noisy sometimes and destructive of their surroundings.

• Cockatiels -  are  birds members of the parrot family making them capable of learning human words. You will really enjoy their company as these are pretty much advanced in their singing and whistling capabilities. They are also very much capable of copying sounds like  a car alarm, ringing phone or other bird calls. There are different colors for these birds and can live up between 15 to 20 years.

• Canaries- are also very popular birds.Pet owners who have less time to spare and also can not pay maximum attention, such kind of birs are most ideal for them.  These birds pay little attention to humans and prefer to live in small flocks.They can live up to approximately 10 years. What‘s great about canaries is that they sing beautifully.  Male canaries have richer voices than females.

• Lovebirds – these birds are ideal if you live in a place where you are very close to neighbours who do not want too much bird noise. They can be very quiet and can live up to 20 years.  They are also part of the parrot family. Some pet owners would rather have a single lovebird rather than a usual pair, so that the bird can bond more with the owner than the other bird.

• African greys- are said to be the most intelligent of the birds, especially in terms of their vocabulary.  This intelligence is why it is important for an African Grey to have a lot of stimulating toys around their cage. These kind of birds can live up to 50  to 70 years.

But not all pet owners are happy with having domesticated pet birds.  There are pet owners who prefer exotic birds which are usually from countries in Asia, Africa or Australia. Most of pet owners would choose birds from the parrot family since they would have very delightful colors and can show supreme intelligence.

But when importing birds from other countries, there are important regulations and rules which should be followed.  Smuggling birds in countries can have an effect on the number of birds in their natural habitat (which sometimes lead to endangerment) and worse health for the birds and humans too. 

Serious diseases happened in the United States because of failure in undergoing the proper procedure for bringing exotic and wild birds in the country.  Examples of these diseases would be avian flu or the exotic Newcastle Disease. 

When bringing in a bird in the country, make sure that you birds have been checked by veterinarians and avian experts for diseases.  They should have a health certificated from the veterinarian and at the same time the permit issued by  the government. Most cases of aviary disease and their outbreak can be traced to birds who have entered the country by illegal means. 

There are many options when picking out the right pet bird for you.  Regardless of its breed, size, or appearance, the most important thing is to take into consideration is that they would be around for a while.  So make sure to pick the bird that you can enjoy, because they are not just commodities that you can throw away if you no longer want them to be around.

Bring Happiness To Your Pet Birds

Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Most people would get a pet bird because they thought that they are “low-maintenance pets”.Unfortunately for them, they would come across the truth that birds are not like that.  Like any other animals, birds would need social and physical attention from their owners.  There are studies showing pet birds developing behavioural problems because their owners neglect them. 

How can you make your bird happy? 

A healthy bird is a happy one.   When caring for  birds, it is important to take note of their diet, housing and other social needs. There are some bird owners, who were overwhelmed of their pet responsibilities that they either give up their pets or their pets escaped from their homes.

Here are some things to remember to make our little feathered companions happy. 

Shelter and Cage

When choosing a cage for a pet bird, make that there should be enough room for them to move.  It is ideal for small birds to have perches where they can hop to, while big birds should have enough room to spread their wings without touching the sides of the cage.  Perches should also be in different sizes.  This would remove any possibility of birds hurting their feet for staying in one position.   The perches should also provide access to food and water.

There are also some bird toys which you can give to your birds.  There are some bird toys which can come in very low prices or sometimes given away for free.  It is just a matter of looking.   You can also try providing some “natural” comfort to your birds.  Like safe and edible plants and non-toxic wood inside the cage.

When choosing a location in your house where you can put the bird cage, keep the bird in a safe and quiet environment.  Kitchen is a no-no.  Cleaning and cooking fumes can get dangerous to birds.   It is also important for birds to get direct sunlight.  Similar to humans, birds also need vitamin D. 

Cages should also be cleaned every day.  You can use water and minimal amount of bleach to kill the bacteria.  When cleaning bird cages, move the bird in a safe place.  The cleaning fumes can be bad for the birds.

Nutrition and Grooming

Bird food is not solely bird seeds.  Some pet owners think that bird seeds are just enough, seed only diet can result to early death.   Birds’ diet should include vegetables, fruits, grains and dairy food.  Avoid processed meat and food with high sugar content.Avocadoes and chocolates should normally be avoided since these are having high sugar content.  Constant fresh water should be supplied to birds. 

Bathing opportunity should be provided to birds.  There are different options, you can put a shallow dish where birds can take a bath.Shower under a faucet would be prefered by some of the birds but you can also spray them with water.  Bathing is important especially if the bird is suffering molting. 

Birds also need to sleep.  Make sure that the place where the cage can be silent and dark enough for the bird to sleep. 

Socialization

Birds are social creatures.Keeping them out of the cage, you just watch them from time to time.  You would also need to give them time to make them happy.  There were studies that have showed that parrots being neglected by their owners developed behavioural problems like feather plucking.

You can put your bird’s cage in the family room where family members can frequently see the bird and spend time with it.  Free flight also provides great health benefits to your bird.  Even if the bird cage is big enough, it still does not provide enough physical stimulation and movement to your pet.   You can stay with your pet and with your family in the family room.  Not only do you get to spend time with your pet bird, you also get to spend time with your family.

A Blast From The Past: Need Of Indoor Plant Watering Cans

Filed Under Uncategorized | Leave a Comment

Although an indoor plant watering can is a useful device and still has its place in the gardening centers of today, the indoor plant watering cans are becoming obsolete as there are other, more effective methods of watering the indoor plants.  It used to be that the indoor plants could only be watered in one of two ways.  The plants could be picked up and placed under a faucet so that they could be watered or they could be watered from an indoor plant watering can which had to be lugged around from place to place in the home.  The down side to an indoor plant watering can is that it has to be refilled time and again if it is too small, and if it is too large, the can is often too heavy to move around comfortably without spilling the contents all over the home.

Solutions To Indoor Plant Watering Cans

There are many indoor plant watering devices on the market today that help solve the problems posed by the indoor plant watering can.  There are indoor plant watering hoses now that are attached to the faucet of the house and have a spraying device attached to the other end of it.  These hoses are often about forty feet long so that they can reach every part of the home through the means of being attached to the various faucets of the home.  The hoses make it very easy to water all the plants in the home in addition to being able to fill up a freshly cleaned fish tank without having to make many trips back and forth to the faucet.  It can also be helpful with any pets in the home so that they can be washed in the tub without using a cup or other device to rinse the soap off of them.

Another solution to the awkward plant watering can is the automatic plant watering systems on the market today.  There are some that are made for people who are interested in starting all types of plants indoors to later be planted outdoors.  These devices will allow the individuals to create a miniature greenhouse inside so that these delicate plants can be grown.  There are other devices that allow individuals to water their plants when they are gone on vacation.Place the reservoir of water on a counter and then the plants to be watered below it on the ground.  The water is regulated so that only a certain amount is released each hour, thus preventing over watering.  Usually, several plants can be hooked up to the same device and the watering will last for two weeks or more.
