How to Get the Right Bird Cages

Feb 9 2010 / 2:07 am Was written by admin No Comments Yet

When keeping birds as pets the cage you use is one of the most important decisions you’ll have to make. Bird cages come in a number of different sizes, shapes and styles so picking the right one can be hard unless you know what to look for. This article will hopefully give you some ideas as to which of the many bird cages for sale is right for your new pets.

Birds need to have room to fly so keeping them in small cages is not a good idea. The bigger the bird cage the more space the bird will have to move around and get exercise. Remember, when you see the recommended size of a bird cage for a certain species you should always try to get a cage that’s bigger than that.

The type of cage you buy depends mainly on the species you’re going to keep as this affects factors such as the bar spacing and how big the cage needs to be. For this reason it’s important to decide which type of bird you’ll be keeping before you start looking for a cage as not all bird cages for sale are suitable for all birds.

One factor that many people don’t think about is the shape of the cage and this is just as important as the size. Smaller birds need to be able to fly horizontally so in this case a cylindrical cage would be no good to them. If you aren’t sure which shape cage is right for your bird then make sure you ask an expert before you buy.

Remember, extras such as bird cage stands and bird cage covers will add to the final cost. You may also want to look at decorative bird cages as these can add to the design of any room. However, the safety of the bids should always be your priority.

Saint Bernards

Feb 7 2010 / 7:12 am Was written by admin No Comments Yet

Ever wondered where Saint Bernard Dogs got their name?

The original St. Bernard dogs were bred in Switzerland and many still live there. Today, they can be found at a hospice run by monks and are trained to help search for travellers lost in the Alps. Has the fact that they are believed to be the heaviest breed in existence anything to do with the weight of the brandy casks attached to their dog collars?

Nope. It’s a myth, long since debunked. So where did the idea of these cool dog collars come from?

The English artist Sir Edwin Henry Landseer (1802 – 1873) painted a St. Bernard carrying a brandy flask. Landseer was renowned for his animal paintings, the most famous of which was The Monarch of the Glen, featuring a majestic stag.

I’ve always loved Saint Bernards. We used to own one, a beautiful animal we picked up from a local rescue centre. His nametag read “Pink Floyd”, which seemed like an odd kind of name when we first met, but in a strange way it sort of suited him. After a while, we shortened it to just “Floyd”.

Seeing  such a large dog squashed into a tiny dog bed in his cramped kennel was pretty heartbreaking and once we saw him, we knew we’d have to take him home. So that’s what we did. Our first act was to buy our adopted friend a massive dog bed and two huge bowls, one for his food and the other for his water.

We spent many wonderful years together in our big old house by the sea with a suitably large garden and we built a really large dog kennel where he could sleep in the summer months and keep cool.

Floyd is sadly no longer with us, but he was well loved and will live on in many memories.
