He says their intelligence matches that of dogs. They're active little birds who like to do new things, sort of like Jack Russell terriers with wings. Q--I recently lost a kitten to the FIP virus. My kitten was from a shelter and never was vaccinated. You can do a good service by warning people about FIP.
Larry Fox, former president of the Chicago Veterinary Medical Association, explains that feline infectious peritonitis is caused by a nasty kind of corona virus. Typically, the blood vessels become inflamed, causing leakage into the chest, belly or eyes.
Sadly, once a cat has FIP, it's certain to die. There's a blood test to screen for the virus, but even if your cat tests positive, it doesn't mean the pet has FIP. The good news is, such cats can be tested further with something called FIP 7B 7B is the specific protein the virus produces. Edward Flemming of Omaha is a veterinarian board-certified in internal medicine from Antech, the company that developed the FIP 7B test. He says that because FIP is contagious from cat to cat, if you adopt a kitty from a shelter or cattery, there's a reasonable potential for exposure.
Still, because there's no cure, there's little advantage in knowing if your cat has the virus--unless you have other cats in your household. Flemming says that if your cat is in contact with unfamiliar outdoor cats or participates in cat shows, the FIP vaccination is advised. The vaccine is safe. Administered through the nose, it can't cause vaccine-related cancer.
Many catteries are pleased with the vaccine's success, noting a lessening of FIP. Some vets, however, including Fox, doubt the vaccine will work, and say it's merely a waste of money. Because opinions vary, consult your vet, who will advise you based on his or her own views and your cat's lifestyle.
Through a combination of music and hope, Polly strives to bring the community together. Conures will take time. Some learn faster than the others.
Sometimes, just when you give up hope of teaching your pet to talk , it may surprise you by turning into an avid speaker by the time he is 2 or 3 years old. And, to her surprise, he cuddled up on her chest and stuck his head underneath her hand for scratches.
In the few times he allows this, he'll show his contentment by making a sound like grating teeth or by scratching the feathers by his beak at the same time. Here's a one -word description of conure personality: dependent.
These conures are more likely to be family birds, not as likely to be bonded to just one person , so there are many situations where that is a positive trait. Teaching the Conure While they love vocalizing, they do not have the biggest capacity for speech. On average, conures are able to learn between five and ten words.
Housed together, the conures can get to know each other. You have a better chance of bonding a pair of conures if they are unrelated and close to each other in age.
Keep in mind that bonded conures may become very distressed, sick, and depressed if they are separated, so it is important to always keep them together.
Some conures when aroused will sway or slowly move their head in a circle. This is thought to be associated with courtship. This can also be put on cue. Parrots have musical tastes, with some preferring classical works and others pop tunes , scientists have found. But the creatures do not like dance music. They are known as great mimics, but now scientists have discovered that parrots also have varied musical tastes — and an intense dislike of dance tunes.
