under any pressure
or strain with your birds or families, then maybe your particular
formula is not working for you anymore and it needs to be improved. We
keep four types of bird species here, Cockatoo’s, Asiatic
parrots, Lories, and Lorikeets. We have divided our collection into two
manageable parts of our yard, the seed eating birds in one area, and
the nectar eating birds into another, this means
we can better cater for they needs separately, without causing too much
of a problem. Of course the Lories and Lorikeets need to be attended to
every day, some thing a lot of bird lovers say they can’t be
bothered with, so by having a bird room and preparation area close to
them has work out very well for us, all their feeding and cleaning is
done from those two areas so as to keep the work load needed to
maintain them properly down to a minimum of fuss.
CONCLUSION:
I am not at all trying to criticize people in any way for what they are
doing in the keeping of their birds, but I am suggesting that if people
are struggling in any way in maintaining their birds correctly, then
maybe they should make a change so that things can work out more
smoothly for both themselves and their birds. Whether we are old hands
or new comers, we all can learn from one another, take a leaf out of
each others book, share ideas with one another, and maybe for the birds
sake become better aviculturists.
