Birds, after cats and dogs, are the third most
popular pet in the United States. Even though they are small and
caged, birds still require a great deal of care and attention. They are
complex creatures, and if you take good care of your own bird, you will have
the opportunity to see what unique pets they are.
There is a common
myth that the smaller domesticated bird species
(canaries, finches, cockatiels, parakeets, lovebirds) are less likely to
suffer from behavior problems than their wilder, more exotic counterparts.
People often assume that these species have been adapted to life as companion animals through long
genetic selection. The fact is behavior problems in smaller birds often go
unnoticed.
For birds who have
behavior problems, the more common signs include frequent egg-laying by the
female, or self-mutilating behaviors, such as feather-plucking. Such
problems can be signs of boredom, dietary issues, incompatibility with cage
mates, or stress.
Keep in mind, when birds are sick or injured, they
will normally try to hide their illness. However, here are a few things to
look for:
-
Closed or swollen eyes;
-
Diarrhea; or fecal stains on the feathers
surrounding the vent (anus);
-
Sitting in one place for
extended periods of time during the daylight hours with their feathers
puffed out.
-
Noisy or labored breathing, with wheezing or
clicking sounds.
If your bird is exhibiting any of
these signs there is a possibility that it may be ill. Most illness in birds
is brought on by poor mental health. Fortunately, depression and boredom can
be easily treated. Being caged and surrounded by an unnatural environment
can have a negative effect on your birds naturally evolved senses. Even
though they are domesticated they still long for the sounds of nature. Now
you can bring nature back to your domesticated pet. We have isolated the
sounds of hundreds of bird habitats to insure that no matter what type of
bird you have we can offer an environment that it will feel at home in.

hostile sounds. We have found the sounds that work best to tame the
wild beast so that you can enjoy a stress free and peaceful

Restful Sleep- Order code-RS
One of the most troubling problems we encounter is animal insomnia.
The reason this condition is so problematic is because the symptoms are so
varied. We have seen pets that are aggressive, sluggish, un-responsive,
distracted, over-eating, under-eating, and even prone to self mutilation,
all because they weren't getting enough sleep. It is often easy for pet
owners to assume that their pets are getting sleep at night or when they are
away. If your pet is behaving in uncharacteristic manner it may be suffering
from animal insomnia. This CD is designed to bring peace to your pet and
enable an environment that promotes deep and restful sleep.

pet can be just as worrisome. We have developed a CD that revives
pets of all ages and encourages an active lifestyle.
Appetite
Stimulator- Order code-AS
During the course of our
research we were surprised by how often we ran into pets who lacked
appetite. We decided to Attempt this problem using sound. After
years of research and testing we finally found a combination that
helped to restore appetite. Using the sounds of early animal
development we have been able to stimulate appetite in a variety of
animals from cats to cattle.
