BIRDS

So your family is ready for a new pet, but it’s not exactly coming into the picture. A feathered friend is a great compromise, but there’s still a ton of research that goes into bringing a new bird home. Every breed has different looks, personalities, and needs, so it’s vital that you find the best pet bird to match with your family’s lifestyle.

A few questions to ask as you begin the process are how much time a day do they need attention, how long do they live, how much space do they require, and what kind of food do they eat. If you’re looking for a bird that loves the spotlight and wants your child to play with them each and every day, a Cockatoo will be the perfect fit, but if your family is on the go and you’d rather have a more hands-off pet, consider the Finch. Either way, there’s no doubt that you’ll find the perfect companion for your family soon.
