I have a pet bird which i love dearl y but now i want to adopt this one adorable baby kitten but i am afraid it will eat my bird… For bird and cat owners is it a good idea to buy a cat when u have a bird? Can birds and cats get along? If so how do i make them get along?
Cats and birds can get along – it just depends on the animals themselves, and how you go about introducing them to each other. If your bird is small (like a parakeet or finch), chances are the cat will see it as a toy or prey if the bird gets loose. But if it’s a bigger bird, size for size the cat MAY have second thoughts about trying to attack it. It also depends on the personalities.
For starters, keep the cage out of the kitten’s reach. If you let the birds play or sit outside the cage from time to time, make sure their play areas are out of reach, or at least supervise the animals closely. By all means let the critters see each other, if not just to get familiar with each other’s presence. Kittens are playful and curious, so take this time to teach him or her that the birds are not prey or toys.
What type of pet fish is common, small, doesnt need a big tank, heater or light and isn’t expensive?
I want to buy a meduim sized fishtank and a fiter for my room and i was wondering what type of small, inexpensive fish i could buy to put in it.
Oh, and i want a fish that moves alot. not like those mexican fighting fish that look dead.
And i want a fish that is available at pet shops in Australia.
Mollies or Swordtails bith are active and very colorful. They also are very easy to take care of and hard to kill.
I recently got a water-horse over the summer. The vet said that I should feed him three servings of fish each day. I’ve done some online research but am unsure whether I can or should feed him anything else?
Are there any other types of food that a water-horse might be able to handle. I’ve also heard that they might have allergic reactions to dairy products. Is this true?
No stupid answers please, I’m already quite concerned.
Hmmm maybe babies or small children to start with, it might be a bit harder when he gets bigger to give him/her some adults tho, don’t know how you’ll work that out, maybe ask another question (how to kill people without other people knowing)… but make sure you don’t feed him after midnight, cause you’ll know where that will end up
No Stupid Answers!!! what the F#@$ is a water horse, isn’t it some mythical sea creature.
I need to know what level I have to be to send a pet dog as a gift on Facebook Farm Town.
Thanks.
the brown n white is around level 14 i think the complete brown one is level 21
I figure, a cat doesn’t care if you’re a hemophiliac, they just want to be loved.
yes
trust me….I’m a nurse xxx
What are some good products i need to groom my dog and others? Like the kind of scissors and bushes i would need. Do you have any good sites i can go to order them?
First of I need to know what breed of dog you have?
can i get in from a store or do i have to buy it on line?
I see it all the time at the Barnes & Nobles book store down town…you can buy it online at http://www.amazon.com as well
Conures (all varieties) Other Pet Bird ENJOYS BEING PETTED View more and create your own Conures (all varieties) Other pet bird videos at www.petsunlimited.com Conures are a diverse, loosely-defined group of medium-sized to small New World parrots. Essentially they are large parakeets native to Central and South America. For parrots, conures are lightly built, with long tails (Conure literally means ‘cone tail’) and small, strong beaks. They have a diverse range of colors.
Conures are either large parakeets or small parrots that are found in the western hemisphere. They are analogous in size and way of life to the Old World’s Rose-ringed Parakeets or the Australian parakeets. All living conure species are found in Central and South America; the extinct Conuropsis carolinensis or Carolina Parakeet was an exception.
Despite being large for parakeets, conures are lightly built with long tails and small (but strong) beaks. Conure beaks always have a small cere and are usually horn-colored or black. Most conure species live in flocks of 20 or more birds. Conures often eat grain, which causes them to be treated as agricultural pests in some places.
Conures are as diverse a group as African Parrots, so trying to characterize them all is difficult and inaccurate. The category conure is loosely-defined because they do not currently constitute a natural, scientific grouping. The macaws are so closely related to conures that strictly by descent, macaws could also be called “conures”. The term conure is now used mostly in aviculture. Scientists and laypeople alike tend to refer to these birds as “parrots” or “parakeets.”
Latin for “little macaw,” (ara – macaw, tinga – diminutive) the Aratinga conures generally seem to have a more mischievous personality than the real little macaws or mini macaws. The Aratinga conures are generally larger with brighter plumage and are generally the noisier, more outgoing, more demanding of the two primary conure genera. The Sun Conure and Jenday Conure are among the species of conures more commonly kept as pets.
Pyrrhura is the other large genus of conures. These generally greenish conures including the very common Green-cheeked Conure. Usually smaller, duller-colored, and quieter than the Aratinga conures, the Pyrrhura conures contain almost every conure species with a hyphen in the name, and the majority of Pyrrhura species names are hyphenated.
The Nanday conure, Nandayus nenday is the most commonly kept pet conure species outside of the two main genera. Some experts believe that Nandays should actually be grouped with the Aratinga genus, since they are cross-fertile with such species as Jendays and Suns. Nanday conures have a distinctive black head, and wings and tails tipped with dark blue feathers. They have a light-blue scarf and bright orange feathers on their legs and around their vents. The maturity of a Nanday can be told by the edges of its black hood: if the hood has a ragged edge of brown, then the bird is over a year old. Although Nandays are often said to be extremely noisy, it might be more accurate to say that they are a heavily flock-oriented species, used to making their demands known, calling out warnings for the group, and making inquiries about other members of the group who are out of sight. They are also extremely intelligent birds, capable of learning tricks, mimicking sounds, and learning a small vocabulary. At least one report suggests that they are highly adaptable to human encroachment on their territories, but the exact status of the species in the wild is unknown.
The Golden conure or Queen of Bavaria Conure, Guarouba guarouba (recently reclassified from Aratinga guarouba) is, as the name implies, covered all over with bright yellow feathers, except for the green wing-tip feathers and the greyish-horn-colored beak. Golden conures are among the most expensive conures both to purchase and to care for, although many owners feel that the benefits outweigh the cost. It is one of the rarest Conures in the wild in addition to the pet trade. Many experts believe that these birds should not be kept in captivity unless in a breeding program.
The Patagonian conure, Cyanoliseus patagonus, is a large conure found in the Patagonia region of south-central Argentina and Chile. Drab on the top, brighly colored underneath, the Patagonian conure has exploded in popularity since the 1990s, leading to an increase in illegal importation which threatens the wild populations. It is also known as the “burrowing parrot,” due to its habit of nesting in holes in the ground. Unsurprisingly, Patagonians in captivity are great chewers, and have been known to munch through furniture and even walls.
The Greater Patagonian Conure is the largest of all the Conures. They learn to talk and they usually bond very well with people, especially if hand-raised.
This Conure is not as widely available as other Conure species in many areas. The Greater Patagonian is a
