QUOTE(prophet007 @ Jul 14 2006, 11:47 PM) BiRdie CorNer Wow, all yours ah? Why Choose A Bird? --> Birds are cheerful pets and can be kept in small flats and in units where dogs and cats are not allowed. Besides, they do not cost much to feed. Some birds can be teach to talk while others have a beautiful voice. Birds do not take up a lot of space, just a big cage is enough. Below are some popular species that are often keep as pets. Budgerigar Budgerigar are also known as budgie. They are a type of parakeet and is an ideal pet for beginners. Budgies are often chosen for their pretty colours, easy to take care and yes, they can be trained to talk! A male bird makes the bes talker and should be kept alone if you want it to talk besides forming a good relationship with you. That is because two birds will chatter to each other and show less interest in copying the human voice. Anyway, if you don't have enough time or you just want to keep them for fun, then it is better to have two or more. Advantages: 1. Cheap 2. Easy to care for 3. Their main diet is just seeds. But you gotto feed them fruits and veggies so that they can have a balanced diet. (Will update on pics and others ) |

Tame birds are really great to have.... mine all untame.... well, not all, just a few are tame enough to handle but still they need a cage at times coz my home also got dogs.
Get a bigger parrot lah. My uncle has a blue and gold macaw, damn evil to everyone. He will screech and squawk at you, try to tear your clothes if you walk near and give a hard nip. But with my uncle, gentle like kitten, manja manja. |

We got 1 budgie, found in my dad's office's garden.... dunno came from where but semi-tame. Will always be on our decorative plant when we let it out.... macaw nip can break our finger....becareful..haha Added on October 10, 2007, 12:20 am can your african bird talk? big bird is nice...the pet shop @ the curve got a parrot so tame, can anyone can rub the head..

Mine timneh lah.... anyway, it is in a large cage situated in the living room.... We didn't go for stand coz my uncle's macaw dislocated it's leg or something coz of stand.... Birds.... alot.... coz of my bro lah... he loves parrots. Our 1st birds were of course budgies, we had 6 last time. Then we got the AG coz he cried for it, cost my dad rm2.7k.... crazy.... now I think can get cheaper ones. Anyway, then it led to Fischer lovebirds, 1 pair, bred 7 chicks but we didn't handfeed them so not very tame.... next was a Hill Mynah, my dad's bird.... it would pinch and strike me but only my dad is his fav person. Can take out from cage, sit on my dad's arm and manja manja with my dad.... with us, super attack mode. Crazy bird LOL.... Then came the rescued Budgie, must be hand tame coz it didn't bite ppl and would let us handle him. Then an orphan Zebra Dove that dropped from our roof.... then my 2 cockatiels. |

LOL... speaking of bird parties.... i got friends in Singapore, every weekend, they have a bird meeting.... a group of people gather at a coffee shop outside, have tea with their parrots... Kinda nice loh coz the birds are tame, no cages, all on the bench or makeshift perches there. I'll dig up some pics and post later.
