i have 2 birds and love them alot. i consider them my children and always buy them toys and spend time with them. i have a leash for one of them and walk him outside is this normal
If I let my birds go they'd be dead because they don't know how to survive in the wild, but yeah I'll just let them go anyway even if they might be killed by larger birds, starve, eaten by a predator or cat, or run over by a car.
I do the best I can for them, I only lock them up at night when they sleep, at day there free to fly around the house as well as getting proper exercise outside.
Because I like birds, just like people enjoy having pet dogs or cats. Both of my birds were already domesticated when I got them. I got my budgie when he was almost a years old because the guy who owned him couldn't look after him anymore, and I bought my ringneck from a breeder.
I know its not good to buy animals from backyard breeders/breeders and I would of preferred a rescue bird, but I had recently loss one of my close ringnecks which made me very heartbroken and depressed, and after a few months decided to get another ringneck in honor of my little girl :(
Adopting a rescued bird is a rare opportunity so it can't always be done. I just love those magnificent bastards enough that I couldn't bear to strip them of their ability to fly and be free.
True, I think you also need a licence over where I live if you want to start rescuing birds since most of them would probably exotic or wild birds. I feel like as long as the bird is happy and u try to care for it properly it is ok to keep them, but if they are not happy then it would be best to give them up to a rescue center or if they were previously wild bird let them go.
I don't really like people who keep exotic birds or wilds like palm cockatoos or any other big or rare parrot because generally they require lots of attention 24/7 and need big spaces to excerise so it would be best if they were in the wild or wildlife center :o
I also don't like people who clip birds wings, as u said they should fly free. None of my birds wings are clipped (although when I got my budgie his wings were clipped, but they grew back)
the birds = pets, she probably adopted them so they won't die just like anyone adopts cats/dogs, some bird are already domesticated as pets, so it's no different than cats & dogs, she lets them out daily that is well good enough i know some people dont do that and its abusive just as letting them outside would be
Budgie and indian ringneck, although the ringneck is only around 6 months old
nice. can they talk (at least the budgie, i don't know much about the other)?
Yep the budgie knows heaps of words :D He can say: What are you doing, I love you, good morning, cheeky boy, naughty, baby bird, tony abbot is a idiot, (my dad taught him that haha) and give me a kiss!
Trying to teach the ringneck to talk, hes a bit more shy though!
