Bird Watching Blog

hmm… burung kakak tua

if you consider constantly cleaning up bird droppings and feathers fun…then yes, birds are a blast to have!

Yes being as your 13 you probably would like them (at 1st neway….unless you tame them and get them used to being handled they can be pretty boring)

I personally **** birds! Theyre so damned noisy! They never shut up!

yeah, they shat all over

uh…. yeah i hve a bird and i’m11 so… i like to watch it. i also like to take it out of it’s cage and let it play around on the floor. but watch out, when you get it out, it poops everywhere!lol

is best to have a singing bird
is true you needs to spend time cleaning the bird house

You are 13 years old. I dont care what type of bird that you get all birds to me all very cool. I have a bird and zi tought this bird how to say some words. It took me a very long time to train him but I did. Now he saids hi to my grandks by there name and he saids I love you or we love you each time they come over. SO it all depends on what type of bird that you get but most birds if they have toys and things like that they are very neat to watch and play and you can even teach the bird to do lots of different things it does not always have to be in its cage. Birds dont like to be in the cage for long I know mine does not. But he seats on his cage alot. SO good luck in choosing the right bird for you.

at one time i had 5 parakeets and yes they were noisy at times but I loved them to death they were so beautiful and sounded really pretty when they sang, I loved them and they come in some pretty colors like blue,green,and yellow.

Birds are very fun pets to have!

Parrots require a lot of work because they need to spend time out of their cage with you everyday, and you need to tame and train them.
I have a rainbow lorikeet who is a lot of fun, he is so playful. He loves to roll on his back and wrestle me with his feet or play with a cat ball that has a bell in it. Instead of walking, he likes to hop and he exaggerates every move he makes… it’s adorable.
But he is also very LOUD!

Also, you can teach a parrot to mimic words, which is always cute. If trained properly, they can also talk ‘in context’, such as ask for an apple when they want one or tell you when they want to come out of their cage.

Having non-tame birds is also fun because you get to set up a nice big cage for them and watch as they interact with each other (they are very social). Birds I reccomend for doing things like this are finches and/or chinese painted “button” quail.

Yes they are

Zebra finches are the best I have 10

Then kakarkis, cockatiels, budgies

Cocktiels are very good first birds to have. They train easily and can learn to talk if you are patient with them and work with them a lot. Make sure you are able to be responsible and take care of your bird. They can be amazing pets with the proper time and care. Go to a reputable breeder or pet shop to buy your bird. It is best to get a young bird, Young cocktiels have black or gray beaks. Or you could get an already tame bird from an owner who needs to sell their bird. Adult males have brighter colors than females, but you will not be able to tell if it is a male or female if it is very young because the brighter colors of the male will not be grown in yet. Either *** will make a good pet and they come in many different colors the gray being the most common color.

Telling me that you’re thirteen doesn’t tell me anything about your likes and dislikes, your patience, or your ability to deal with poo.

I had birds when I was thirteen, and loved (love) them. However, I can’t really see any of my friends dealing with all the poo and what not.

if you are looking for one to talk with, then an amazon is your best bet. I have one and there is never a dull moment in my house. now if you want one that loves affection, then an umbrella cockatoo is your best bet. they love to be handled and loved on.

You’re incredibly smart to realize in advance that you’ll need hundreds of dollars for the birds and its needs. Many people in their 20s to 40s never even consider the bird’s needs, like proper food, caging, toys, etc. and only look at the immediate cost of the bird alone. Kudos to you for that.

I got my birds when I was 11 as a gift, and as long as you do in depth research on how to care for whatever species you choose to get properly, it will be a very happy bird and yes, in turn very fun to watch. Also very fun to interact with. Though I have to warn you. Birds are loud and demanding. They can contact call and screech for hours, some for the mere reason that they love hearing their own voices, out of boredom, loneliness, etc. They require at least an hour’s worth of one on one interaction with you a day, and must be kept in a socialized area of the house where many people often spend time and walk by. Make sure you can fit a large enough cage in a place like that, but nowhere near a kitchen or doors/drafts. I also have to continue the warning that they are very messy, but **** isn’t the only problem. While yes, they **** everywhere (when you gotta go, you gotta go!), you fall into a habit of seeing, cleaning, and moving on with life. It’s really not a big deal, but beware if you have carpets. Anyway, they also fling food, bathe in water dishes and toss water everywhere, destroy toys and leave the remains anywhere they can possible scatter them, and they can be quite destructive to your home if you don’t bird-proof properly. For example, birds who are avid chewers, like my lovebirds, will shred any and every important or unimportant document they can lay their little beaks on.

Make sure you’re getting lots of toys that can be changed in and out of the cage so the bird doesn’t get bored, that you can devote the time to it for its entire life span (if you’re looking into parrots, the shortest life span is 10 years – be aware of this as you enter high school and university/college; it’s because of my birds that I chose the university where I’m able to stay home), AND that your entire family is going to be involved for a properly socialized bird. It doesn’t mean everyone has to interact physically with the bird, but saying hellos and having the bird be accustomed to seeing faces other than yours would be a sufficient minimum.

Birds are very amusing and have incredible little antics. They love and hog attention with the people they’re comfortable with and as long as you care for them properly, they’ll be very fun and have tons of fun, and so will you. Recommendations? Well, that’s up to you. Research the birds you know of and see how they fit into your lifestyle. Since you didn’t say how often you’re home, how involved your family is, how old your family members are, any other animals in the house, dust allergies, etc. we can’t narrow anything down for you. For first time owners, many people recommend budgies or cockatiels because they are generally pretty docile and easy to deal with. People with dust allergies may benefit more from budgies than tiels, though, because tiels emit more dust than other birds from their feathers.
