So if you intend to have a happy marriage with your pet, choose your spouse well and neither of you will complain. How do you do to look? Are there tips? Sure there are. The essence of having a pet is to choose a pet that suits your conditions and temperament.

What size bird is best for you?

It is common sense that larger birds will obviously need more compromises to keep them healthy. Although large birds are excellent companions, they are messy, noisier, and more demanding than many of the smaller breeds. It is always recommended that a novice opt for medium sized birds rather than very large or small breeds. Care, training, housing, and other requirements are directly proportional to the size of the bird, so choose wisely, don’t be fooled by its current size, think realistically how much it can handle. The little bird in the hand will grow in the near future and you certainly don’t want to keep changing your schemes from time to time as the bird grows, so be practical in reasoning about the size of the bird you choose. And this is the most important.

behavior and temperament

Is it imperative that you do some soul searching about what you want your bird to look like? Do you want a bird that is more willing to get out of the cage and socialize or someone that is a treat for the eyes but doesn’t like being petted or touched? This is a vital step in ensuring a pleasurable poultry raising experience. Different breeds of birds exhibit different types of behavior patterns. For those who are willing to buy a bird, do some research on the behavior patterns of a breed so that you can correctly judge if it is compatible with your personality or desires.

Nutrition and Maintenance

You should also keep in mind that not all birds require similar diets or other care, as in the case of Lorries, which are endowed with magnificent colors and admired everywhere, but they are not for beginners since their special digestive system requires that their food consist of fruits, pollen, nectar and, as a result, pass liquid droppings, which in turn makes evident more frequent cleaning of the place of life than with other medium-sized birds. This is of course a singular example and you should do some more research on the specific type of bird you choose to be with.

Budget and Finance
Check with your financial planners, as poultry farming isn’t exactly cheap. Although the cost factor depends largely on the breed. Larger birds are generally more expensive and their tag can run into thousands of dollars initially and along with this includes the cost of accessories, cage, food, etc. which are also more expensive than their counterparts. smaller breeds. The smaller breeds of birds are comparatively less expensive in the beginning, but also bear their share of the expense in the latter part of their life. Some birds DO live a long time and it adds to your regular maintenance costs and veterinary expenses, so keep that in mind as well.

time commitments
Make a note of how your wife howls at you if you don’t spend time with her birds as if she doesn’t like the fact that you ignore them and feel unhappy and sick if you don’t spend at least two hours a day interacting with them. So do you have that time? You do not? so why worry quickly? In his case, he would suggest some independent nature birds that really won’t mind if he doesn’t spend time with them as they know how to enjoy life.

These considerations and unrealistic planning will ensure that you are happy with your bird and more importantly that the bird is happy with you too. And trust me, when we have at least two happy souls living in one home, it’s no less than heaven.
