You see these pets around but do you know they are not any easier to care for? Here’s what you need to know
Tip 1: Caring for a Pet Bird
The lifespan of birds vary greatly. Some live for about ten years, while others like the cockatoo can live up to 80 years!
Prevention is better than cure.
It is important to provide your pet bird with a proper diet and a good stress-free living environment. If it is not well, you should take it to be checked by a veterinarian who is good with birds.
Tip 2: Caring for a Pet Fish
Do you know, with proper care, most freshwater ornamental fish can live up to several years? Freshwater fish like the goldfish, koi and arowana can live for about 15 years with proper care and a healthy environment!
For owners keeping marine ornamental fish, it is extremely important to also ensure that the salinity of water is constantly maintained at an optimal level for these finned creatures.
