Most of us probably remember Tweety Bird growing up. With his disproportionately large head and equally small wings, he entertained with his many episodes, involving highly dangerous and complex interactions with Slyvester the cat. "I taut I taw a puddy tat!" is most likely a much quoted reference to his dazzling moments.
In light of his charismatic qualities, it may be a worthwhile endeavor to examine his nature from reality's perspective: the fact that he's a bird and what that means bird owners around the world. For bird owners, Tweety has a special place in our hearts. He reminds of out the care it takes to make sure that your bird is healthy and happy for the duration of its life.
For those who are unfamiliar with proper bird care and are thinking about purchasing one, it is important to keep a few things in mind.
· The Cage - When buying a cage, make sure that the cage is large enough to provide adequate exercise for your bird. The largest dimensions should be with respect to length and width, height. How big or how small the cage should be is a function of how much time the bird spends in its cage. The more time it spends in there, the bigger the cage should be and vice versa. The cage should be fitted with perches of varying sizes so that your bird can properly exercise its feet.
· Food - Fresh seed mix should make up no more than 20 % of its food source. Seeds are high in both protein and fat, so anything more than 1/5 the energy intake would be unhealthy for the bird. Vegetables and fruit should make up the other 80%. Don't over feed your animal. This will put unnecessary stress on the birds bone structure.
· Keep your bird away from common household dangers. These include cats and dogs, plants, paint, ceiling fans, vacuum cleaners and open toilet bowls. Birds often unknowing find themselves in compromising situations when confronted with these household objects.
It is important to also take your bird to get regular check ups at the local veterinarian clinic. Trained specialist can often detect serious illness before they arrive, saving you psychological, physical, and financial headaches in the future.
