It is a astonishing fact to many when they understand just how much we adore bird life. Human beings enjoy untamed birds or birds that they keep at home. Our feathered friends have permanently been in our lives.
Some of this experience is etched in our early memory. The far-famed film of Mary Poppins where she used to feed bread to the birds and dance on the roof tops with them. So too, our mums encouraged us to throw bread to the birds in the garden and to the duck in the duck pond.
All year round, we used to feed the birds as we also had a bird house in our garden. Summertime was great as the birds would flock to feed off breadcrumbs. Wintertime saw us making hot dishes of milk and bread with bacon on top. We loved to keep an eye on the birds gathering in the garden to peck at their meal and push each other out of the way!
These and other memories spurred the instinct to have one?s own birds as pets, to get to know them and love them as any other pet. There was also wonderful enjoyment in looking for the right birdcage and the rights things to go inside it. Toys, feeding bowls, and what they need to keep bills sharp and feathers spotless.
Decent for family are budgerigars or canaries; there are also doves and lovebirds. Children adore to hold them and stroke their plumage and itch their heads and beaks. If these don?t suit then parrots and parakeets are good. They are fun and give numerous 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 rightly 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 quick success when turning to the net, landing on a website that had a lot of birds and their descriptions for sale. A godsend, this is a site where you can put up for sale or obtain birds, and there are a lot of to choose from that you can easily find what you want. It really made buying so much easier and I vouch for this as a method any day.
I soon found two desirable canaries, a boy and a girl. I paid online and then collected from the vendor as she lived quite near by; the site allows you to search in the district close to you, a very useful feature that saves a lot of time. Now my family are enjoying their pet birds, learning about their needs, playing with them and typically having fun.
