Bird in the house: pros and cons

 As a rule, when we make a decision to get a pet, it is dictated by some reasons. This may be, for example, the need to take care of someone or the desire to make a child happy. In any case, the choice must be thoughtful and conscious. Be sure to take into account the opinions and wishes of all household members and weigh all the pros and cons of the appearance of a bird in the house.

Bird in the house: the pros

• A cheerful and cheerful creature will be nearby, delighting you not only with habits, but also with appearance. This is a significant plus of keeping a bird in the house. 
• Each bird is a personality that is very interesting to watch.
• The high level of intelligence of some species (mainly parrots and corvids) allows you to communicate with them almost on an equal footing.
• There is no characteristic odor.
• As a rule, it is not difficult to clean up after the bird.
• A feathered friend does not need walking.
• With proper care and proper maintenance, the bird rarely gets sick, but lives for a long time.
• When you go on vacation, it is easier to trust someone to take care of a bird than it is in the case of a cat or dog.

Bird in the house: cons

• Some birds are quite annoying and noisy, emit piercing cries.
• You can’t do without garbage (feathers, fluff, scattered food, etc.)
• The smarter the bird, the more time and attention it requires. And it does not matter at all that you have urgent business. For many, this is also a minus for keeping a bird in the house. 
• Birds are curious and will often taste inappropriate objects with their beaks or tend to hide in a gap from which they cannot get out (and extracting a pet from there can be difficult). This requires a special approach to ensure the safety of the pet.
• You won’t explain to your feathered friend that you just made a chic renovation, or that the flower that attracted his attention was especially dear to you. But this piece of paper is not a toilet paper at all, but an important report. Rather, it was a report …
• A bird can get sick just at the moment when you are least prepared for it.
• An allergy may occur.
• There may be problems with caring for a bird during the holidays.
• If a large parrot bites you, it will be quite painful.
