NEW BIRD OWNER? IMPORTANT THINGS TO HAVE FOR YOUR BIRD

November 5th, 2018 Staff No Comments »

If you are planning to add a bird to your family, you can easily become overwhelmed with decisions about what is best for your bird care. Here are 7 supplies that experienced bird owner’s recommend and have purchased for their birds.

Stainless Steel Cage – It won’t take much looking for you to discover that this type of cage is one of the most expensive out there. The saying that you get what you pay for does apply in this case. If properly maintained it will be the only cage you ever need to buy.

Stainless is easy to clean, and is not harmful to your bird should it lick or peck at it. Choosing a quality cage the first time saves you from having to buy a replacement when the first one wears out.

Double Dish Sets – Because keeping water and food dishes clean is so important to the health of your bird, washing them daily is essential. So while one set is in the dishwasher the other set can be in use so that your bird is always drinking and eating for clean bowls. To prevent dishes from absorbing or retaining food and/or germs, stainless is the best material for these as well.

Cuttlebone – This is a wonderful source of vitamins and minerals and will help your bird keep its beak in fine condition. Any place that sells bird supplies should have them in stock.

Variety of Toys – Toys should be bought with birds’ natural instincts in mind. There should be some that allow them to “forage” for food – hollow toys with food stuffed inside. Edible ones will be a big hit as well.

Toys with bells, mirrors, and swings will spark their curiosity and keep them engaged. This can help prevent the temptation for them to pluck their feathers and engage in other self-destructive behaviors due to boredom.

Select toys with lots of different colors. Visual stimulation is also important. Toys should be rotated in and out of the cage every week so that is seemingly always something new.

Play Area Outside The Cage – As important as the cage is to keep your bird safe when you can’t be there, an area outside the cage is even more important. This gives your bird choices and that’s a good thing and will help maintain emotional health. It can choose when and where it goes and what to explore.

Puppy Care

October 31st, 2018 Staff No Comments »

Having a new puppy to take care of is certainly one of the more challenging things that pet owners have to do. There are a number of tasks that have to be completed day in and day out in order to keep your puppy happy and healthy.

1. Provide Attention

Your puppy will want to feed on the attention that you give him. After all, a dog is a man’s best friend, so he’ll start portraying that from the moment you bring him home. Make it a point to provide him with the attention that he needs. Doing so will help to make him more sociable with humans and will make him a friendlier dog overall.

2. Nutrition

When puppies are young they are in the critical growth stages of their lives which means that it’s important that they are properly fed and cared for from a nutrition standpoint. Be certain that the food you are providing your puppy is healthy and that he is getting the essential vitamins and minerals that are needed in order to promote strong and healthy growth.

3. Obedience Training

Another puppy care tip that is as equally important than the others is to train your puppy to perform or avoid certain things that will make him more obedient. If you plan on keeping your puppy in the house, you’ll want to train him to go outside when he has to go to the bathroom. Housebreaking is perhaps one of the first things that new puppy owners work on when they bring their new friend home. Other training activities might include teaching your puppy to sit, come, and stay, which are a few of the more simple commands that you can teach.
