Pet Birds
Birds can be wonderful pets and companions. They can sing, they can talk. They can be entertaining. They don't need to be walked on a leash in sub-zero temperatures. They are intelligent. They can be life-long loyal companions. Pet birds can also be demanding. They can screech loud enough to make your hair stand on end, they can bite. They can throw tantrums and pluck all of their beautiful feathers out. They can destroy your house. Their food, feathers, dander and droppings can be endlessly messy. Birds are truly amazing life forms. Parrots are generally highly intelligent creatures. They can put together puzzles matching colors and shapes. They can associate words to objects, and ask (or demand) to be let out of their cage, fed a certain treat, be given a hug, or whatever. Without adequate stiumulus, smart birds can become deviant, aggressive, destructive or depressed. Birds are also intensely emotional creatures. Human babies recognize their parents, whereas baby birds imprint. Humans have relationships, whereas birds bond. Birds bonded to each other eat together, sleep together, and watch out for each other all day, everyday, for years and years. Birds left alone for long periods of time day after day can become fearful, insecure, anxious, depressed, distrustful, or even self-destructive. The point is that pet birds can potentially be wonderful companions, but they are not for everyone. Take the time to read about different types of pets before you choose the right pet for you. |
