Parrot Research Update
An amusing, yet interesting, research story out of Japan is that a team of Japanese researchers found that budgies (budgerigars or parakeets to most Americans) have the ability to tap in time with rhythm. Now, we already knew parrots, along with elephants and people have this ability, so it was not a big surprise to me that budgies, which are parrots, are able to do this. Not only did the team of eight budgies tap in time with the rhythm, but they anticipated the beeps and flashing lights, which means they could predict the intervals in between the beeps and flashing lights. Since budgies can imitate human speech and have a sense of rhythm, researchers believe that is strong evidence of a connection between language acquisition and sense of rhythm. You can find the research in the British journal Scientific Reports .Bird Cages Vs Parrot Cage Fundamentals | Pet Portal Online
If you’ve never put much thought into the difference between standard bird cages and parrot cages, then you are like most people. Picking a great cage out for your bird is something that you need to put good thought into, and size and material is such a small part of that. When you do select your cage, there are a few things that you will need to take under advisement before you actually pick out a cage for your feathered friend.
The Sizes First off you are going to need to think about the size, and what sort of bird you are going to purchase. If you want parakeets, then you can get by with a small cage, but that really depends on how many parakeets you are actually planning to keep. If you just have a single parakeet then you won’t need a huge cage, but it still needs to be comfortable. Remember, this is the bird’s home, and it needs to be quite comfortable in it’s home.
Finches and other types of small birds such as canaries, budgies and lovebirds will not need a large cage, but still require one that is large enough so they do not feel cramped.
