			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you decide to adopt birds as pet require many elements that you have to accommodate when you choose to become a pet owner. You must be able to place to the responsibilities and allot the right time and money to make sure that your pets will always be at the top of their game. You can choose from the following popular species of birds. </p>
<p>The Cockatiels. Delightful as they are. These are part of the family of parrots and descended in Australia. They are known for their singing and whistling abilities. They can also learn how to talk, but they often prefer to whistle. They also tend to mimic the usual sounds that they hear making them appear quirky and fun. They can easily get sounds like the barking of dogs or the telephone ringing. You can get these types in various color combinations. The life expectancy of cockatiels can be up to 20 years of age.</p>
<p>Lovebirds. The lovebirds are known as the smallest types within the parrots species. They have the personality as well as intelligence. That is why most owners will not trade these kinds to the larger kinds. Aside from such aspects, they are not that demanding and they are beautiful to look at. These are ideal for people who live in apartments and condominiums because they are fairly quiet. The size can be around six inches when it comes to length and their life expectancy can be about 20 years.</p>
<p>The Parakeets. Commonly well recognized of its type, renowned as the Budgerigar, is ideal for kids. This is particularly true if it is the first time for the child to own a pet, specifically a bird. These will only require less amount of space so you don&#8217;t have to mind much about the matter. They are small and yet intelligent. They can whistle as well as sing and they can also learn few words. They can live up to 14 years. </p>
<p>Canaries and finches species. Live as flocks as they are. They also require little attention making them perfect companion for those who cannot give to much of time in engaging their birds in activities. These do not care much about the attention that they get from humans. Their lifespan can reach up to 10 years if you have cared and treated them well.</p>
<p>African Greys birds. Well recognized as the most intelligentand witty of all. They can even learn around 2,000 words if trained well. They are smart but they also tend to be demanding. They will get bored and lonely if you will not take time to engage them in stimulating activities. Your efforts will surely be rewarded because these are loving in nature.</p>
<p>Make sure that as much as you will enjoy their presence, you will also be able to give them what they need from you.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>[ad#blod-ad]</p>
<p><img class="alignright" title="Whydah" src="http://www.keepingpetbirds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/whydah.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="214" />Whydahs are ideal subjects for housing with weavers or birds of a similar size. Because whydahs are among the largest and more aggressive species of finches, do not house them with birds of smaller or weaker species, such as smaller waxbills.</p>
<p>Keep them in a large well-planted aviary, since they must have adequate room to exercise their active nature. Once acclimatized, they will be hardy enough to withstand typical winter conditions in a temperate climate, providing they have access to a snug and protective shelter. During nights of very severe winter weather, however, you should lock your birds in to protect them.</p>
<p>Feeding whydahs is relatively easy, because all they require is a simple mixture of yellow millet, white millet, canary grass seed and rape seed, although an excellent supplemental seed diet can consist of teazle, sunflower seed, flax, niger seed, anise, sesame seed, oats and poppy seed. They will also appreciate a selection of livefood, such as small mealworms and baby crickets, and a limited amount of suitable greenfood.</p>
<p>In addition to the simplicity of feeding and accommodating them, the great appeal of keeping whydahs centres around the magnificent appearance of cock birds throughout the breeding season and their fascinating courtship behaviour. The cock whydahs grow magnificent tail plumes that can reach 28-40cm(11-16in) long. Out of breeding season, whydahs measure only 13cm(5in) and cocks and hens appear very similar, making sexing a difficult task.</p>
<p>Many whydahs are parasitic and will lay their eggs in the nests of other birds. This is why it is vital to choose carefully which birds to house with your whydahs. Most parasitic whydahs target particular species. For example, the paradise whydah parasitizes the melba finch in the wild and will also accept it as a host in<br />
captivity. Therefore, if you wish to breed paradise whydahs, it is essential to house it with melba finches.</p>
<p>The pintail whydah parasitizes more than one species; in fact, it can lay its eggs in the nests of 19 different species of birds.</p>
<p>Although fascinating, their parasitic behaviour produces a poor breeding record in captivity. Nevertheless, you can encourage breeding by housing the birds in a large, naturally planted aviary with a plentiful supply of available nests. Providing the ideal environment is essential for breeding success.</p>

<p><img class="alignright" title="Scarlet Macaw" src="http://www.keepingpetbirds.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/scarlet_macaw.jpg" alt="" width="290" height="218" />The Scarlet Macaw can be found in South America and Mexico and they can get to a length of 90cm (35 inches) and a weight of 2-3 pounds. When they are kept captive their life can get up to 80 years.</p>
<p>These birds are very intelligent. This is why they tend to get bored easily. They need daily socialization so that they stay tame. Also, they need many toys to chew on them and play with. If you manage to hand feed your Scarlet Macaws he can turn out to be quite affectionate and loving. Another important aspect is that these birds are sometimes noisy.</p>
<p>The Scarlets are the most colorful of the Macaws. They are vivid red with a bright blue and yellow wings ending.</p>
<p>In captivity, the Scarlets require a health diet made of a large gamma of fruits, vegetables, seeds, nuts, and other bird-safe goodies.</p>
<p>These big and loving birds love to exercise. They are quite playful and they love to stretch their muscles. Macaws should be allowed to exercise at least 2 hours a day. Also they should have many toys to chew on and exercise the jaw muscles.</p>
<p>These birds make beautiful companions. They love human presence, are beautiful and intelligent and have a great personality. For many years, The Scarlet Macaws have been the most popular specie around bird owners.</p>
<p>The first thing you will notice when looking at a Scarlet&#8217; Macaw is the beautiful feathers. But it is the personality that will make you fall in love with them. The Scarlets are confident and friendly, and they learn tricks quite easily and even develop ca vocabulary of about 5 to10 words.</p>
<p>While these birds have many great features, they are not just for everybody. The breeders recommend them to attentive, experienced owners who have the time and patience to train them properly. This is because sometimes, the Scarlet Macaws can be aggressive and destructive if they are not tamed and socialized. In order to maintain the bond between bird and owner, they need to be monitored and receive daily attention.</p>
<p>Also, you should be aware that Scarlets can be extremely loud. This could be difficult for people living in small apartments or condos.</p>
<p>But besides all this, owners say that Scarlets are worth all the effort because they are sweet and have a great loving personality. Before you think about adopting this type of bird, contact a few breeders and let them show you some birds and give you a few pointers. Also, don</p>
