A pet bird can be your sole companion, be it good or bad, be it in your craziness or solitude! No wonder pet birds are the 3rd most preferred pets after dogs and cats.

The Hues That Lures, The Wit That Impresses!

When it comes to the factors that make pet birds one of the best choices, the reasons are more than one! Be it their vibrant eye-catchy colors, playful and cuddlesome nature, or intelligence that makes you go awestruck; pet birds are indeed a precious asset! They don’t get tired fast and hence, will always be there to play around with, chatter nonstop or just spent some quiet time together. Now, doesn’t this sound too good to be true? Yes! We know you are all too excited to own an exotic bird! But, how to make the right pick when the choice is many? Fret not! We have the perfect solution for that too! Here are some easy tips that can help you make the best choice:

• The Space To Make A Home!

Now that you have decided to add a new member to your family, the first step is to check whether you have the space to accommodate your little friend. Check for free spaces in your home and remember the fact that even a small bird, like a cocktail, will need a minimum 3 sqft space. And, that space cannot be in any dark nook! Our feathery friend needs lots of air and light! So, ensure that space gets enough sunlight and is well-ventilated. After finding out how much space you can make, you can start looking for a pet bird that will fit in the available space.

• The Size Does Matter!

Now, who wouldn’t fall for a large and gorgeous pet bird that leaves you mesmerized? The bigger the bird, the greater the chance that you will love it! This is why big birds like Cockatoos and Macaws are two of the most sought-after birds. But, don’t blindly choose the biggest bird of all. You can try talking with your family and also check whether your available space is enough to accommodate a large bird. Also, don’t forget the fact that the bigger the bird, the bigger will be its claws!

• The Coos That Cast A Spell!

When it comes to pet birds, after the initial attractions like feathers and colours, the next important factor that attracts you would be their sound! Some varieties of pet birds are louder than others. The louder feathery beauties are cockatoos, African grey parrots, Amazon parrots, sun conures, and macaws. Hence, if you are living in an apartment or a colony in which there are many houses nearby, it is better not to choose a loud bird as it might be a disturbance for your neighbors. In such cases, you can choose the quieter pet birds like Senegal parrots, certain varieties of conures, pionus, and cockatiels.

• Pick the Cage!

The pet birds need to have a cage in which they have their toys to play, their little basins of water to drink and food to eat. But, don’t always keep your pet bird inside a cage. They do love to flutter their wings freely and enjoy freedom as much as we do! So, make it a point to let them out of the cage every day for at least one hour. If you let them stay outside the cage for more time, they will be happier! On the contrary, if you keep them caged every day, they can start developing a hatred towards you and might even stop interacting with the family members. So, remember that freedom is essential, be it human or bird!
