I've Never Had A Pet Lol - Tumblr Posts

Dear Prosecutor Blackquill,

I’m thinking of getting a pet bird, is there a particular breed you would recommend? :]

Fine Reader,

A noble goal. there a number of birds that may be good companions for you, and which would be best for you depends on the accommodations you can make for the animal, and for what you are looking for in your companion. Personally, I am keen on Taka, who is capable of taking care of herself, but you should know that legally she is not mine, as if I were a registered falconer, a number of things would have to change. I have been given certain permissions to allow Taka to remain by my side, an uncommon occurrence.

Good Birds for beginners include Budgies, who are quite social, as well as rather small, and do well in a cage so long as they have time outside of it as well. They live about ten years on average, meaning they will be your companion for the better part of a decade.

Cockatiels are another fine choice, though larger then Budgies, they like people and tend to socialize with as many as possible. they live on average twenty years, assuming they receive proper care.

If you do indeed with to enter the world of falconry, I recommend looking for someone who can teach you in person. Taka was a rare find, and I do not know what your local regulations state, nor the penalties for not following them. I can tell you about the birds themselves, but they are a harder bird to care for then others, and off-putting to some.

Other common pets include Love Birds, Parrotlets, and Canaries. Ultimately however, it will be hinging on what you do to prepare for them, including the research done. Remember, you are becoming responsible for their very lives. Hold them carefully, teach them well, learn their language. They will reciprocate, if treated correctly.

Carefully,
