Animal lovers III Health Guide

If you read some of my previous articles on pets and guidelines for care pet, you will find information not only from my own actual experiences, but tips and valuable advice as owner a pet.

As mentioned in previous articles, I have visited many countries, where my work took me, mainly in Asia. I learned and experienced many cultures and currently living in northern Thailand, surrounded by jungle. All creatures you can imagine, something like living on the Discovery Channel, but with real-life daily experiences with snakes, eagles, exotic birds, jungle, the works.

You can think about how scary he could be living with snakes, but in fact most are very shy, and really do not find very often. Did you know that sometimes make a noise and bark in the forest, which is certainly a good indication to stay away.

It was a unique experience with a wild jungle bird, not found in any book, or any veterinarian. hospital Healing the experience, but unfortunately a true story.

My wonderful neighbors Thailand gave me two forest birds in cages, like a warm welcome in the gift of the people. Those who may be susceptible to a wild jungle bird in a cage, you can be sure I asked, and yes that was left in the nest alone in the jungle, and would have died if left untreated.

Well, now I had to learn to talk a little about Thailand, both birds could. There are birds like mine all over the world, but these two are a different type, and learned to speak Thai sentences in certain cases. My first thought, and the tip, as a natural reaction to care for pets, has been let them return to a natural forest.

But I said they could not survive in the jungle, there are so many creatures in the food chain just would not do it themselves. So I decided to give the best care possible.

My favorite was the bird of light two-tone gray spoke 23 words and phrases in Thailand and could bark like a German Shepherd, more and more side coast.

What a character he actually taught English words, and how to laugh, because the Thais have a best sense of humor, in my experience, I really thought it was funny, laughing bird, a common language among us, as I was still learning to speak Thai, and northern Thailand, a little different.

I enjoyed these two new friends, probably only those who could understand this strange in another country. He built two large cages, looked like it might be the best, and placed one on the neighboring house to the right along the jungle to talk with wild birds. This was about 300 hundred meters.

I got up early and speak with him through the trees, or at least whistle birdsong. Thais were surprised that he would speak again to me every morning, what a good song I could sing, I was happy.

If I missed one morning he called me for me. The Thais could not believe it, and everyone with Thai media knew this story, a small town just a few hundred people, excellent news.

This beautiful large bird lived for many years. Like a wild animal, I made sure they got their food from forest natural, which is a trick to remember, very important for your health.

I kept talking to him all the time, until one day I went to see him. I worked and traveled, not so long at home. My neighbors stopped dead in his house, something had to happen. I can not explain, perhaps a cultural blessing where they want it to be annoying. Thai culture and courtesy is something that we can all learn.

Well, my partner birds had died during a business trip a month earlier.
The neighbors explained they call me, and no answer, as if he needed to communicate something, difficult to imagine a bird. But for weeks I was home I had spoken through the jungle for him, really how could it if he had died a month ago?

Thai culture is sensitive to spirits, so with all due respect, I listened very carefully to this unique story, as explained in detail in time. When I was traveling, had found a wild bird of the same type.

She would come and talk one day, if my return was in fact dead, but was his new partner who has continued in the same place every morning to talk to me, and how Thai people have believed, was their spirit to communicate with me through it.

Now, I do not know much about spirits, but he believes that lived a good life but he died of a broken heart that the story was told. I think I did the best to take care of him during his life.

This story was submitted to the people For years, people ask me, not the birds you're still with the sunrise in the morning. I think they are referring to the spirit of the bird. Sometimes, the female returns every few months in the jungle, and asks for me.

Now, some might think that I lived near the forest a long time, but they are true adventures like animals. I have no magic pill to cure all birds broken heart, but you can add, sometimes the care, kindness and common sense will help its longevity and health of animals.

This is the best advice I can offer for all animals. For wild animals, if possible, you really need their own natural environment. So if you ever have the opportunity to have a wild animal companion, please think twice and take the right decision for the benefit of animals. For a good pet, there are so Options with pets.

The goodness of this bird came back to me during these years with my neighbors. They know how much I liked this bird, and how I took care of him, and is now back to goodness. Consideration could be spiritual event, and it is not my experience, but it certainly made friends with good-neighborliness as a result of a little kindness. This is just my best advice for lovers animal house. Pets can have a long happy life with a little kindness.
