What does pet, the alphabet P-E-T mean to you?

Pet means the animal being kept, being tamed and being taken care of for the companionship and bringing excitement to you and your family members. Pets are kept as for accompany reason, or known as household animal; contrary to wild animals, show animals, sport animals or animals kept for other commercial purposes.
There are a few categories listed out for pets: the most well-known pet animals such as dogs and cats are usually known as “small pet animals”; horses, sheep or similar bigger size are grouped as “large animals”; birds, reptiles (tortoises, iguanas, snakes and turtles), squirrels, ferret and others similar pets are named as “exotics”.
Pets are loved by human, basically due to whatever reasons it might be: loyal yet playful characteristics, as company to boring lifestyle, beautiful feathers, cute and adorable appearance and others. Well, physically, keeping pets may help you to improve your health conditions. I personally speak on this point as you can see that for an example, an owner of pet dog will of most certainly take his/her pet dog out for jogging at least once a week; where in which some owners will spend more time on their pet dogs, to bring the dogs out for a walk every day. Walking a dog around housing area or any park will definitely provide both the pet owner and the pet dog with exercises and fresh air. These same exercises applied on pet cats and birds as well, but the only difference is that the exercises done together with pet birds or cats might not be identically the same as walking pet dogs.
As looking from the aspect of personal emotion, having pets will assist to reduce and relieve stresses. Many people adopt pets for companionship, not only those old man or ladies with boring lifestyle, yet those working adults with hectic and busy lifestyles and those happily-lived school kids will normally have pets too. YES, there is a great point hidden here! Well, while playing around with your lovely pets, owners will temporarily forget of all the problems in lives and clear their mind off from any unwanted worries. With these, they have their whole bodies release from stresses of whole day packed-with-jobs’ lives. As for those old grandpa and grandma, if they do not have any allergic to pets, then it is advisable that they might as well adopt a pet for themselves as the pet can serve as company to them and at the same time providing fun to them.
Well, as for more of your information, there is now exist a type of therapy, in which pet animals, mostly dogs, are brought to patients or confined humans to play around with them. These are certified and medically-approved class of “therapy animals”. To sum up all these, I should say that pet animals should be taken to join in as a part of our lives. Pets taken as members of our families will bring out lots of excitement, companionship, and joys to homes.

So, why not you have a pet starts from today? Lots of pets are available now in Pet PlayGround! Cheers!!

English Budgie or Normal budgie?

The parakeet - the pet bird that we used to call as budgie, of scientific name Melopsittacus undulatus, is originally from Australia. Generally, there are two groups of Budgie, one of its types is the common pet budgie known as the American budgie and another type is the exhibition or modern show budgie known as English budgie.

But, wait, since budgerigars species origin from Australia, why are there English and American budgies, you may ask in curiosity. Yes, it may seem confusing, but with little explanation here, I hope it may help you to clear the mess.

Around the year of 1800s, budgies from grasslands Australia were brought into Europe by John Gould, a well-known ornithologist. They were bred in Europe, for different purposes, different business intention and for different goals to achieved. Sooner and later, mutations occur as the budgies nowadays come with variety of bright and eye-catching colours, different sizes and behavior.

Well, what are the most obvious difference of English budgie and American budgie? The size is the answer. As the budgies are fed for different purposes, the American budgie of smaller body size is the type most commonly seen in pet shops – this budgie is of similar body size to the Australia origin budgie; while the English budgie of bigger body size is commonly found in exhibitions and modern shows. In comparison, English budgie has their feathers grow over their eyes and larger crested head than normal American budgie, due to the food fed and bred.
Like its striking colours of feather, the English budgie has strong yet easily tamed personality. What a controversy, isn’t it? English budgie should be well taken care of and should not be placed as several amounts of female budgies in together. They may “attack” each other if they cannot get along well. But, there will be no worries if a few male budgies are kept together as they can go along well without much problem. Or without much quarrel I should say.

As for American budgies, although they come with strong personality under their cutie little size of body, they are easy be handle.However, though of its big body size, the English budgie has shorter lifespan than American, due to the huge mutation of English budgie bred for exhibition and show. A healthily fed American budgie may live for 8-10 years; while English budgie may only long for 2-5 years. Breeding the English budgie with the intention of creating stunning feather’s colours for shows, those people have cruelly caused budgie mutation, thus English budgie easily get all sorts of sick and illnesses, causing their short life-span.
