Canary As Pets by Lolly Brown
When you hear the word canary you probably think of a cheery, bright yellow bird. While this image is by no means inaccurate, canaries actually come in a wide variety of colors, patterns, and shapes. Canaries are very popular pets because they are very beautiful and the males of the species sing lovely songs. If you are thinking about keeping a canary as a pet, you would be wise to learn as much about the species as you can - that is where this book comes into play. Within the pages of this book you will find a wealth of knowledge about the canary as a species as well as important information about keeping canaries as pets. Here you will find information about purchasing canaries, creating the ideal canary habitat, crafting a healthy diet, and preventing canary disease. Simply put, this book contains all of the information you need in order to determine whether the canary is the right pet for you and, if it is, it will help you get started in becoming the best canary owner you can possibly be. Canary breeding, diet, cages, singing, where to buy, cost, health, lifespan, types, and more coveredLolly Brown, a lifelong animal enthusiast, is equally at ease writing about exotic creatures like the Mexican axolotl or giving dog owners sensible advise on kennel cough. Brown first became interested in fish and aquariums as a child, when her father surprised her with a 10-gallon aquarium. Within a few months, the father-daughter duo had upgraded to a 120-gallon tank and were fully absorbed in the complexities of tank population control. We had that go-big-or-go-home attitude that is widespread in the hobby, according to Brown. Now that I think about it, I remember what we did to Mama's living room!
Brown's interest throughout animals grew in college, where she took multiple field biology and wildlife classes that allowed her to observe various species in their natural settings. Because her only apartment companions were two hamsters, Hemingway and Leo (Tolstoy), she refers to this phase of her life as the rodent years. She also said she adopted a Guinea pig because she couldn't take the circumstances in the pet store. I was not at all prepared to care for Molly, and I had to learn quickly!
Then I discovered that I'd have to feed them live crickets. Brown first discovered capybaras, a South American creature that appears like a giant Guinea pig, while helping at her local zoo. Her interest in exotic pets was piqued as a result of the event, and she continues to research the subject with zeal. Brown, a freelance writer by trade, writes animal books for her own enjoyment and the education of her readers.
She is an outspoken advocate of animal rescue and welfare organizations, and she volunteers with programs that teach young children about pet care. Brown has her own menagerie, with a 180-gallon saltwater fish tank, a 20-year-old Scarlet Macaw, a Golden Retriever, and numerous tolerant cats. (She suggests that nice cages make good multi-species homes.) If I'm interested in a particular animal but haven't had any firsthand experience with it, I get some before I start writing, Brown adds. Every animal has their own unique viewpoint on the world and their place within it.
They all have different physical and emotional demands, as well as distinct personalities. These are concepts I'd like to grasp before attempting to convey them to my audience.
