Aussie Finch Forum

Ive been reading the International Express (Tuesday April 12)....it takes time to get to me as my Mum and Dad read it first.....
Anyway, was reading the health section and it seems that we as bird keepers should be the happiest people. According to the newspaper is says that spending five minutes a day listening to bird singing can help you beat the blues. Five minutes of bird song can decrease childrens fear of needles.
So taking time to listen as well as watch your birds could be beneficial to your health.

Wonder if you can overdose on happiness via bird singing? I spent all afternoon cleaning out bird cabinets and tomorrow its aviary cleaning time.

It might become an addiction but I have a feeling everyone on this forum already does but I have to admit it does make you feel a lot happier

You should be deleriously happy by tomorrow night then.

Well that means I should be over the moon, & don't need anesthetic, cause that bloody Major screams all day long

i was thinking the exact same thing!!! my 2 go off at the drop of the hat, sunrise and sunset being the worst! lucky they're outside my parents bedroom, not mine

my little hand reared gouldian boy does sit in my room and has started singing a little song though very cute to wake up to!

I'll tell you what make you happy even better! Anything Ukulele music, Any!

I can see why people get "singing birds" tonight..Iv had a single male goldfinch and got him a lady 2 days ago,tonight he is singing the most amazing song non stop iv never heard a canary sing but I guess it must be like this fellow
I hope she is enjoying it as much as I am...
