10 things that you must follow when you bring your birds home



1) Once you bring you birds back keep it at quiet corner away from TV or high traffic area.

2) Find a location where your birds can see you. So that your birds will slowly get to know you and it's new enviroment.

3) For the first 3 - 4 days, just change the food/water and clean the cage. Try not to disturb it too much.

4) On the fourth day, you can handfeed your tame birds. Pour some seed on your hand and slowly put into the cage and wait for the birds to jump to your hand.

5) While your birds is eating make sure you do not make any sudden movement. If it fly away, repeat the process again. Patience is all you need.

6) If you want your birds to come out of the cage,open the birds cage and put your hand (with seeds) at the door of the cage and wait for the birds so come out. You should do this when your birds is hungry (in the morning or evening time)

7) You can just let the cage door open and your birds can come out and play at the same time have access to water and a safe place(inside the cage). Make sure you constantly monitor them while they come out and play.

8) Continue to handfeed your birds to make sure your birds remain tame.

9) Talk and sing to them and they will do the same to you.

10) Last, get them toys and good food ! Remember to rotate the foods and toys. If not your birds will get bored of it.

Husky the wolf



Scary in some ways, unique in others, perhaps this sentence gives you readers out there a vague description of the husky breed. A special breed of dogs indeed that is irresistible to individuals who might be looking for guard dogs or just a pet for companion.

Let’s get back to the topic at hand…Huskies, as we said scary in some ways and also unique in others, why we say this? There are rare features that many huskies have; one would be the ability to “talk” or rather utter sounds from their vocal cords that seem to be words. Surprised? Just enter your search engine and search for videos with the keywords “talking huskies” or rather “talking dogs”. No doubt there are other dogs that do talk, however if u realize a majority of results that you get from your search are talking huskies. Fret not because these are what make a husky unique. Talking about features, how can we not include their eyes? A wide repertoire of colors brings out the “scariness” or wolf-like feature in the breed. These features are somewhat unique to a husky thus giving the breed a status and a high demand in the market. From working dogs, to being involved in sled racing and lastly as pets, no one can deny the popularity among dog lovers.

Birds?

I remembered the first time I was introduced to my friend's budgie. Excited, he extended his hand into the bird cage and the budgie hopped onto his hands. He brought the bird out and offered to let the budgie stand on my hand... I backed off!

I mean, who in the world gets associated with birds? Definitely not me. I've never come close to any birds in my entire life. Right... those birds that hunt on my garden early morning - I never got closer than 2 metres to them. With an exception of caged birds or photo-shoot birds in the zoo, I've never ever thought that we could get near a bird.

I was reluctant to take the bird. Part of me excited. Part challenged. Part questioning. And part worried. Yes, worried. Worried that I might accidentally kill the bird - it looks so fragile!

Taking some courage, I extended my hand and immediately, the bird hopped onto my palm. It feels awkward. A noob, I am - I was trying to balance the bird on my finger thinking that the bird can't balance itself. Lol... In no time, the budgie started hopping onto my shoulders and trying to explore his new found tree branch? (Yes, I feel like a tree branch to the budgie :D ) Ticklish I must say - my natural instinct almost made me squash the budgie just like how we usually 'shoo' flies away. Hehe!

I quickly asked my friend to remove the budgie. It was a short yet new experience with bird which changes my whole outlook on it. Later my friend explained that this is a tame bird, not like any other birds I see around... which explains why I could handle the budgie like how I just did. I was amazed at how 'manja' the budgie played with my friend - exactly like how kittens behave.

Amazed I was... and it was since then that I got my first tame budgie :)
