Birds are another type of highly appreciated animals for company. They are fun, they look cute and some of them are highly intelligent. With a bit of patience and care, a bird can grow much attached to its owner.

And do have in mind the place where you will put the aviary, as some birds may like to wake up quite early in the morning. Depending on the size and type of the bird, you will also choose the bird house. You should know that the minimum requirement for a bird cage is to allow the bird to spread its wings open, as they will need to stretch once is a while.

Here comes the importance of doing some research and decide which type of bird you are interested in, before buying any supplies for it.

For people that never had a bird, it's best to choose gentle and social types. Budgerigars, lovebirds, conures, and cockatiel are small sized birds, which love to get attention, are playful and fairly gentle. Of course, you will have to be patient in the beginning, until the bird learns to trust you. Birds are great pets, but if you want to shorten the time in which they will get used to you, then you must know that bird like calm and gentle owners. So you may like a type of bird, but if you want to have a special connection with it, then you must avoid being nervous, anxious or make sudden moves.
