It is a remarkable fact to many when they realize just how much we
adore birdlife. Human beings enjoy untamed birds or birds that they keep at home. Our feathered friends have for all time been in our lives. Some of this experience is etched in our early memory. When Mary Poppins urged her two young charges to use their tuppence to purchase bread, from the old bag lady on the steps of St Paul's and give it to the birds, rather than put it in the bank as their father said, we all agreed with her! On family days out, our mums would give us old bread to feed to the ducks in the ponds.
Cockatiels and Macaws For Sale: Fantastic Pet Birds
All year round, we used to feed the birds as we also had a birdhouse in our garden. Summertime was terrific as the birds would flock to feed off breadcrumbs. In wintertime, I used to watch grandad make up tepid bowls of milk with bacon floating in them. I loved to watch out of the window at all the birds gathering in the garden.
These and other memories spurred the desire to have one's own
birds as pets, to get to know them and adore them as any other pet. There was also excellent enjoyment in looking for the right birdcage and the rights things to go inside it. Playthings, feeding bowls, and whatever they need to keep their bills sharp and their feathers spick and span.
Fitting for children are budgerigars or canaries; there are also doves and lovebirds. Children love to hold them and stroke their plumage and rub their heads and beaks. If these don't suit then parrots and parakeets are good. They are fun and give a lot of hours of amusement.
When my children started hankering after pet birds of their own, I searched pet shops locally, and in the retail parks, but felt they did not have precisely what we were looking for, and wasting time driving back and forth. We also needed two of anything and often this was just not to be had.
I had instant success when turning to the net, landing on a website that had various birds and their descriptions for sale. A godsend, this is a site where you can advertise or get birds, and there are several to choose from that you can easily find what you want. It really made buying so much easier and I advise this as a method any day.
I soon found two fitting canaries, a boy and a girl. I paid online and then collected from the vendor as she lived quite nearby; the site allows you to look in the locale close to you, a very useful feature that saves a lot of time. Now my family is enjoying their pet birds, learning about their needs, playing with them, and regularly having fun.
It really is amazing to learn but pet birds can make great family friends. They love social content and interacting with people. Children will form a bond that will last a lifetime.
