Li'l Miss Kiwi,Mr. Tuxedo's and Lady Katherine's AVIAN CREED |
A "CREED" for all Bird Owners" By: Li'l Miss Kiwi, Mr. Tuxedo and Lady Katherine |
Please read Li'l Miss Kiwi's, Mr. Tuxedo's & Lady Katherine's Creed below. If you agree please, send us your pledge and commitment to your birds from the link at the bottom of this page! |
As a Pet Owner, Breeder or Wannabe - I promise ( "say your birds name" ) to the best of my ability I will: Research various species before I get a bird or if I already have you I will research to learn the very best possible care I can give. I will find a qualified Avian Veterinarian and take you for well bird check ups. I will keep phone numbers handy in case of emergency. I will feed the best possible diet for the individual species. I will never be too lazy to prepare fresh fruits and vegetables and a host of other dietary requirements that birds thrive on. I will never give you Chocolate or Avocados as these are poisonous to birds. I will not, or allow anyone else to give you Alcohol. I will educate myself about the many household products/chemicals that could be dangerous even lethal to you. I will give you fresh water at least once a day. I will keep your cage, feed cups, play gym etc. scrupulously clean to protect you from harmful bacteria. I will not take you outside without your cage (securely closed) or in the case of big birds in a harness. Not even for a second. I will keep you free from drafts and if outside will be sure to protect you from the sun, being aware that you do not get to hot. I will not buy you for a family member/friend without their consent and knowing that they have researched responsible bird ownership. While traveling in an automobile I will have you in a travel cage and have it secured in the seat belt. I will not have you sitting on the steering wheel or otherwise free to be thrown against a window in case of sudden stop. If you are a pet - I will keep your wings clipped always. There are too many dangers in a house that you will not be aware of. (there can be exceptions here) I will take you out of your cage and spend quality time with you each and every day. Birds are very social loving creatures and need to be part of the flock. In their eyes the human family is their flock. I will keep you safe from all other pets. (Dogs, cats etc.) Though some might think, it is cute for them to be together Mother Nature never intended for many species to inter-mingle. A sudden flutter of your beautiful wings could frighten the cat and...! We will live together happily respecting each other's space. I will never shout at you and never ever hit you, drop you, throw you or otherwise abuse you. I will be firm but loving in my approach to training, teaching you to do step ups. I will be realistic in my expectations. I will learn about and observe your body language so I have a better understanding of what it is you want from me. I will see that you get 10-12 hours uninterrupted sleep each night. Warm, safe and covered up cozy. I know you have been busy playing, eating, climbing, and socializing. I know you need your beauty rest. :-) I know that owning a bird is a long term commitment. I will make the necessary plans so that in the event anything happens to me that makes me unable to care for you someone will be there to look after you. I will love you for whom you are not for whom I perceive you to be. Each bird has its own unique personality. Given - Love, Time, Patience and Good Care we will become the very best of friends enriching each others lives. |
Thank you for reading Li'l Miss Kiwi's,Mr. Tuxedo's ^ Lady Katherine's Creed! They are very concerned that their fellow feathered friends are cared for properly. They also want to help new and potential families understand the commitment they are making before adopting a bird into their families. If you agree with their Creed I have placed a text box at the end of the page for you to send them your pledge. They will then post once a week a list of all the people who have adopted their Creed.
