Buying A Cockatiel Quiz! |
 Ready to become a bird owner, but do not know
what to do? Well, you have come to the right place. First let's consider ten
questions that will make sure you really want a bird.
- A well-taken care cockatiel lives up to
about 15 years. Are you willing to take the challenge of caring for it that
long?
- Do you have a permanent place set aside
for a birdcage?
- Will you let the bird fly free, without
hesitation?
- Are you willing to devote a lot of time to
your bird?
- Is someone going to be able to play, talk,
or whistle to it from time to time?
- If you have vacation plans, would you know
who would be kind enough and trustworthy to bird sit your pet?
- If you have other pets in the home, are
you sure it will get along with your new bird? For example, you can teach a
dog that the bird is apart of the family, while a cat would seem to look at
the bird as a meal!
- Are thinking of getting the bird for a
child? Make sure that the child is responsible and is willing to do in this
10-question list.
- Are you sure that no one is allergic to
bird feathers and dust? Are you keeping in mind that a bird's well being and
necessities (i.e. food and health care) will effect your budget?
Answer the questions above, if
you answered yes to all of the questions, go ahead hop in the car, bus,
whatever and go to your pet store or breeder. If you said no to at
least 2-4 questions, you may have doubts about having a bird, but surely
you'll make a good bird owner. If you answered no to 5 or more
questions, ask this question to yourself
"Do I really want a bird?"
