5 Factors That Are More Likely to Yield a Pet Bird That Talks – Pet Birds That Talk
Adults and children alike cannot help but be drawn to loud, repetitive screaming calls and phrases that magically pierce what is otherwise a quiet and tranquil day. The culprit of such a magnitude of screaming, squawking and mimicking of all variety of sounds, is usually a pet parrot that wants your attention!
Parrots have fascinated us throughout the years due to their high intelligence, gorgeous colors and adoring personalities that simply won't be ignored. Generations of parrot lovers insist that there is no better pet than a parrot. What parrot behaviors can prove difficult to deal with and what considerations do you need to take into account before deciding upon a parrot as a pet? Are certain types of parrots easier to handle and look after? Is a cockatoo more straightforward to care for a parakeet or a Rainbow Lorikeet, and what about the largest in the parrot family of birds, the Macaw? Did you know that the ever so popular humble brilliant green and yellow Australian budgie is a variety of parrot?
The following tips will assist in making a decision about whether a pet parrot would make a good addition to your family or not!
Diet: A quality diet of fresh fruits, pastas, vegetables as well as nuts, vitamins, red palm oil and seeds and pellets can be costly. Your parrot will also need plenty of clean fresh water daily and do remember no dairy products what so ever, as birds are lactose intolerant
Gender-Most males birds are better talkers than females. And since most birds are not dimorphic, except in a few species, it is hard to tell from the bird's body characteristics whether it is male or female. Having an avian vet perform a blood test on the bird you are considering is one of the best ways to be absolutely sure about its sex.
If you notice any of the above and suspect your bird is sick, immediately make an appointment with a vet. Take him there in his cage or some suitable container. Don't ever take your bird to the vet with him perched on your shoulder. Your pet will not be protected. Whatever container you use make sure it is covered. If you take it in its cage don't clean the cage. This can present evidence to the vet that can help diagnose the bird's problem.
After taking the bird to the vet and a diagnosis is made, take the bird home immediately. Home care at this stage is very important. Keep your bird warm and try to encourage it to eat. Sick birds have usually stopped eating so it is important for them to eat well to get their strength back. If they are unable to eat then they may need to be hospitalized.
Unfortunately, by the time an owner realizes his bird is sick, the bird is more than likely seriously ill. Therefore it becomes even more critical to give your bird the best care possible. Most owners go to pet stores first to try to treat the bird instead of going straight to the vet. This only makes the problem worse. However, if you catch the bird's illness quickly enough you'll have a very good chance of getting him back on his feet
