What do birds eat?



What do birds eat? Here we have come to my favorite topic: I am a big greedy so I try to please my birds.

The staple food is millet parrot. It is sold in all the birds of the store. Should always be enough millet into the bird cage, the birds know how to eat. Oats Oats also enjoy a lot, but only (unpeeled, absolutely natural) which I have seen anywhere in the shops: It turns out that as an addition in combined foods. As a compromise variant of oat kernels can be given.

They also enjoy sunflower seeds, but not cooked, of course, sunflower seeds Anna as the only bird several times a month, because it contains a lot of fat and stout bird. Before giving the bird is good, just crashes (ie, consume it easily).

They love fresh vegetables! They die on cucumbers, lettuce, carrots, peppers and pepper seeds (they should not be hot!). They also eat cabbage. Be careful with nitrates! They are particularly harmful to birds because they can kill them if possible, is to avoid buying foods that are grown in green - houses.

Other green food is generally much they love the fresh and tender grass I mean ryegrass, clover especially sofa -.! He likes the grass or something, but the grass thing that should never give the parsley, t do not know why, but it is well written in the books and I experienced what happens to them if I feed birds with parsley.

Give them fresh fruit at every opportunity to apples (they like, because the nuclei of seeds), pears, plums, and squash. I have not noticed, such as citrus.

All fruit and vegetables should be washed.

Dales hard - boiled egg (one egg room for two birds) at least once a month. Since they feed themselves with protein and vitamin D.

Do not throw away the peel! Take a chopped finely. It provides them with calcium.

Another source of calcium is gypsum. Birds that gnawing with hunger, so always make sure to give the plaster in the cage.

Birds like to eat bread. No matter what type it is. Put a wet piece of bread through the bars and that will take care of what your want to come back to you.

You should always have the sand in the cage of birds (that's why I said earlier that you should buy two vessels for the food.) They need sand to digest food easier. Food does not go directly to the stomach of birds. Prior to remain for some time in the throat. Not because of all food enzymes and sand grain taken are broken in pieces, and digested preliminary softening. The sand is fine, that's why we must examine and remove the coarse fractions, because it can block the throat of 'bird s. E 'obligatory to wash the sand, boil for a qualifying time in hot water to dry and then only to the birds. sea sand - is very appropriate, but should be well - flushing of salt! The salt is not very useful for birds.

Pets


Many people have pets, and most of these people bow down to their pets. But what happens when you want to go this weekend, leave your pets at home? This can be done, it's time release food containers and other similar, which may help efforts. Then there is also suitable for Kitty litter, which takes care of the mess and odor problem without fuss. Or a dog, you can always have a dog flap installed, especially if you have a fenced garden.

Of course, this approach also works for cats, although fenced garden can be a deterrent, because cats are notoriously independent and wants to wander the streets. If you do not use this option so you can always take your cat with you or leave a shortage of friends or even a refuge for several days.

If you have birds, so it is not a problem, leaving pets at home, they will be perfectly acceptable as long as you supplement their food and water. If it is greater than one day or two, you might consider releasing them in a ventilated space from which they can not escape. This will allow them to stretch their wings and will be a great benefit to their state of mind.

Most animals are very sensitive and react negatively if you leave your pet at home for too long. They may even get sick due to various conditions that exist when you are not home to monitor their needs. There are other ways to handle this and if you know you will be away a short time, then you can always ask a friend or neighbor to come and learn about pets at home.

If you are going for more than a week, but really should not leave the pets at home because this can only lead to disaster. Not only to be destroyed by its return, your pet is longing for you, yes, even the cat, and be gone all foods in a hurry and have not had anything to eat his shoes in recent days.

Behavior Problems Among Pets

Men and women are the only ones who suffer from behavioral problems. , When animals are exposed to pressure, trauma or health problems can easily view related behavioral problems. It 'hard to find the reasons for behavior issues among domestic animals. It could even lead to aggression, disobedience, and destruction of furniture and personal items.

- Dogs

Our best friends, dogs also experience behavioral problems. Common problems would be barking, chewing, digging, chasing, jumping and biting. Dogs naturally do such acts. However, actions have excessive impact on owners and others.

Dogs bark when their owners, enthusiasts, attention to feel, communicate or respond to other animals and the fear and boredom. Fear and anxiety can also cause dogs to chew things, pee and poo inappropriate. Fear can be separated from the owner.

There are some who say that the attitude of a dog depends on genes or race, because there are so many varieties that are more aggressive. Owners should also check with the veterinary and behavioral problems may be caused by a disease. Experience plays a major role. abused and abandoned canines tend to abnormal behavior, like aggression or fear to show. They can also develop phobias, as human beings because of their previous experience.

Overall, the best treatment for dogs that have behavioral problems is training. When training your dog, make sure you are consistent and provide positive reinforcement for their good behavior. And 'essential for families on the training methods may be used when a dog is a course of repair.

- Cats

The main difference between dogs and cats is that cats can not be trained and disciplined, like dogs, because they respond differently. But they have problems in their behavior shows that the spraying. Spraying is not the same to urinate, the first thing to do is ask your vet for medical problems to eliminate. If it is behavioral, especially cats spray to mark their territory. A simple piece of advice is to spray lemon juice or citrus in the area. They hate the smell of citrus.

Another problem may scratch, not the barge, tent frequent climbing, chewing, biting, spreading the waste to be used, and ruining the garden. For the stool is still best to eliminate problems before corrective medical training.

Correct the problem behavior should never involve pain to do if they can only be afraid of you. should benefit from using water bottles, clapping, breaking or sudden noises because they hate surprises. You could push your face away without damaging the poor behavior are discouraged.

- Birds

Birds show problems if not satisfied basic needs like food and water. Sleep, good accommodation and spacious, and social interaction is an important complement to them. If not satisfied it would be biting, screaming, getting the feathers and the development of phobias.

The easiest thing to do is meet the requirements for their healthy life as an acceptable cage for their size and where They can spread their wings to move it without damage to one of their association. Moreover, animal care and interaction. Chat with them or put them in areas where the family would be able to socialize with the birds. Make sure they get adequate sleep. You can cover the cage or darken the room to help them sleep well at night.

Animals would develop behavioral problems, because we are not able to take care of them because of their former owners or, to meet their needs. Cohesion and avoiding situations where pets may have inappropriate behaviors should be ignored. Corporal punishment does not work, encourage and reinforce their positive behavior or development.
