Great Benefits Of Birds As Pets

It is strange but many times when we are having a conversation about pets we do not include birds, and don't think of them in the same category as a dog or a cat; but that make wonderful pets. There are just as many benefits to keeping birds as there are to having a feline or canine companion. If you have never adopted a bird you might be very surprised at what you're missing.
Birds are very intelligent creatures who have a great ability to learn. They are also great fun and love to learn new tricks to entertain visitors. Birds are able to form a close bond with their owners and often imitate the words they say. There is nothing nicer than being greeted with a cheery hello from your pet bird when you get up in the morning.
In addition, compared to a dog, a bird is very easy to look after. The bird will be living in a cage or aviary and so any mess is usually confined to this area. Birds also groom themselves, although you may need to have their nails trimmed every once in awhile. The only real work with keeping birds is to make sure you clean the cage regularly, as failure to do so could be detrimental to your bird's health.
Birds have every potential to become a much-loved companion just like a dog or cat. If you live alone you will find your bird is a great friend and you will no longer feel lonely after adopting a bird. Some bird owners become so attached to their pets they even take them along on holiday.
If you live in a small apartment and do not have much space, a bird is the ideal choice for a pet. They take up little room although you should of course be prepared to buy a cage that is big enough for your birds to live happily. In addition, if you live in a rental property you will probably find that birds are not considered as pets, and even in an apartment where pets are not permitted you should be able to keep a bird.

Another great benefit of choosing a bird over another type of pet is they are very economical to keep. The food they like to eat is inexpensive and easy to acquire. As birds enjoy fresh fruit and vegetables simply buying a small amount extra when you purchase your own fresh produce will be sufficient, along with a little bit of bird seed from the pet shop. The only other thing you might want to buy the bird are toys and accessories for his cage, which give him a lot of pleasure; but happily you will also find these are very cheap.
