    Parrots Are The Most Wanted Talking Pets


    Communication is an amazing way to transfer your thoughts and feelings. It includes facial expressions, gestures, and most importantly sounds. Like human beings, animals also use more or less same ways of communication that define that animals have also important components of childhood development that are cognition, perception, and reasoning. Although they communicate through different sounds, but some of them are blessed with special abilities and they can talk in similar language in which they are trained. Talking Pets are famous all around the world. People love to have such pets that have extra ordinary quality of talking like human beings and parrots are one among them.


    How to train a talking parrot:

    If you have a talking parrot, you must get him talking. Here are the few tips that will help you train your talking pet language at home.
    • Start your parrot’s talking training after it is six months old. Start the training immediately because young pets learn faster as compared to older pets.
    • Develop some rapport with your talking pet first. It should be familiar with you and make it feel that you love it, care for it, and have affection for it. Rapport can be developed through spending some time on daily basis with your talking parrot and give treats.
    • Always keep the parrot’s cage in a place where it can easily see people moving around at home. For example, living room, and so on.  It will help to improve the socialization process of the parrot.
    • Begin with short words and give reward at each effort of mimicry. Actually parrots do mimic.
    • Associate a word with an action to teach your parrot. Parrots like movements and actions therefore, they learn both things together. If you make action of shaking the hand while teaching it to say hello, it will always say hello whenever you will show this type of action.
    • Turn-off the TV when you are giving the talking lessons to your lovely parrot.
    • Parrots can learn to call out a specific phrase when you show a specific object. This can be easily done through practice and attributing a phrase with an object.

    It is an old saying: “learning through fun and playing is easier”. This happens similar with talking pets. It will take some time to teach a parrot to talk. Although it is slow process, but should continue.  I hope, you will enjoy and have fun with your talking pet all the time.

    Pet Vaccines


    Pet vaccines create immunization in the body of animal against deadly and contagious diseases. The debate over pet vaccines’ implementation has been going on since its development in 1950’s. Before the development of Pet Vaccines, the diseases such as rabies, canine parvovirus, canine distemper, canine bordetella, feline leukemia, feline panleukopenia and other serious diseases were rampant and every pet used to suffer a lot. In such circumstances, vaccines appeared to be as blessings and helped in reduction and eradication of occurrence of most fatal diseases. Results clearly showed that pets who were vaccinated properly were less vulnerable to diseases that those who did not receive vaccine.
    Vaccination type and frequency of inoculation may vary based on your pet’s age and physical health and well-being. Make sure that you are aware of your pet’s vaccination expiration date in order to maintain on-going vaccination.
    Pet vaccines improve the immune system of the body against specific diseases. The body responds to the antigen by building up antibodies to protect and to fight against the disease. When vaccinated pet is exposed to the disease later, his body recognizes that and gets prepare to ward off the foreign disease through antibodies which are produced through vaccine.

    Types of Pet Vaccines:

    There are basically two common types of vaccines:
    1. Attenuated vaccine
    2. In-active vaccine

    Attenuated vaccine or live vaccine:

    Attenuated vaccine consists of weakened-live organism or virus that causes disease. There are many examples of highly successful vaccines in pets that have been developed using a live attenuated organism or virus. These vaccines are prepared to control diseases such as canine distemper, and so on.
    Attenuated vaccine stimulates the immune response faster and last longer as compared to inactive vaccine. Although, it can cause certain severe complications in few cases under specific conditions.

    In-active or killed vaccine:

    This vaccine contains in-active micro-organisms that have been killed with the help of chemicals, heat, radioactivity, and antibiotics. But these micro-organisms are virulent earlier. Examples of in-active pet vaccines are influenza vaccine and rabies vaccine.
