How to Find a Bird Paint That's Safe For Pets
by Delilah Jones
As bird lovers, there are a couple of things that you should bear in mind when you decide to redecorate your home, or that of your precious feathered friend. Apparently that 'canary in a coal mine' situation isn't the stuff of sayings and folklore. Well into the twentieth century coalmines did not have adequate ventilation systems. So miners in the UK and the United States would keep canaries in cages in the mines. These beautiful, little yellow birds are especially sensitive to methane and carbon monoxide -- so as long as the canary kept singing then the air was safe. A deceased canary signaled an immediate evacuation.
The canary in a coalmine story has strong implications for us bird lovers. All animals are sensitive to toxic fumes, but birds are the most sensitive of all and we need to consider how our actions can affect them.
One of the greatest threats to air quality in a home is the use of paint. Newly decorated walls can off-gas volatile organic compounds and toxins for up to six years after application. Therefore, although many people know to remove their birds when redecorating their home, even bringing the birds back in when that new paint smell has gone, may still not be enough to protect them from harmful toxins.
It is important also to remember this basic principal when repainting your bird's cage. Instead of using normal paint and going through the trouble of drying it and making sure that your bird doesn't scratch it and ingest flakes, you may want to look at bird safe paint. Odorless paint means that the paint doesn't contain any toxins or vocs. That new paint smell comes from the solvents that are used in paint to help the paint harden. No voc paint means that they don't contain any solvents and so are safe to use around your birds and are actually better for the environment too.
There are a couple zero voc paints on the market and some of them come in a wide variety of colors and different finishes -- always remember to read the label to ensure that the paint is actually completely toxin and voc free. Some paints call themselves low voc but actually contain high levels of the stuff that can be dangerous for your birds.
When you have found your bird paint there are a couple of things to bear in mind. Never paint the cage when the bird is in there. Better yet, move your bird to another room or out of the house and make sure that the room is well ventilated. However, if you are using a truly no voc paint then this should not be much of a problem, but all other paints are going to require heavy ventilation to protect your pet. Also make sure that they cage is properly covered without any collection of paint at the joints etc, as this can easily be picked off and ingested. And remember, don't bring your bird back into the room until that new paint smell has gone -- unless of course you are using odorless paint with zero vocs, and then you can paint away with your bird on your shoulder!

by Sam Noel
Home fish aquariums are fulfilling for the hobbyist but what are the cost of setting one up and maintaining it?
This article will tell you what are the essential things needed for buying a home aquarium with their approximate costs. There are several components needed in order to buy an aquarium.
A fish tank
If you are a beginner, then it is better that you go for a small size tanks. This is very important because you will be a starter. Even if you broke it, or if any other problem occurs to the tank because of your carelessness, this will not affect you too much, so go for a small tank of ordinary glass. If you are experienced, then go for a fibre glass, or any other good material, this will be prove more expensive.
Plants
Plants do not add up to the cost too much, if they are ordinary species, but if you go for very rare species, then it will cost you more. Plastic plants are more expensive than the live plants, but they do not help in the bacteria cycle, so it is advised to buy live plants for your fish tanks. Moreover they add up to the beauty of the aquarium. If you are a beginner, go for an ordinary species. You can then upgrade it to rare species when you get experienced.
Fish
Fishes, the main part must be given very much importance, as the aquarium will not be one without them. While buying fishes, you must be very careful; you must choose them according to your experience because only an experienced person will know how to handle each and every species. It’s better to go for a cheap and ordinary fish. As any loss will not cost you much. You can even go for an Arowana after you come to know everything about an aquarium and fishes.

At times, you can go for special food like brine shrimps, frozen dryworms, and other special food. Do not feed them more with the special food, as it will become a habitual food for the fishes, and if you want to spend less money, then you will not be able to afford the food.

Top Cat Secrets Revealed
by Mr. Hanline
If you love your cats the way I do, then you're going to want to know all the Secrets.How to communicate with your cat, quickly bonding with your cat or kitten and much more.
Cat's can be trained to do just about anything, and it's easy to bond with them in new, deeper ways if you know how. Cats are wonderful friends and companions and are a lot of fun to have around. Cats think very differently from dogs and once you understand how a cat thinks, then you are half way there.
Cat's are independent and affectionate by nature... understand what they are saying and you'll have a much happier, deeper relationship, a cats body language you ask?, Yes you can learn what your cat is trying to say. Cat body language explains what their ears mean about their emotions, what their different pupil dilation's mean and much more.
Before we worry about training our cat we need the proper training on how to train our cats in a way that is best for us and our kitty. Discover the secrets to keeping your cat happy, healthy and disease-free. Always remember that you can increase the relationship and coordination between you two through training
Why your cat's natural instincts play a crucial role in training and behavior modification.The best part is once you crack the code on their "outta control" behavior, training them to do what you want becomes easier than you ever imagined.You do this by respecting their natural instincts, instead of trying to stifle them, as most training methods teach.
Why some training methods you use in a single cat home must be applied differently with multi cats. Most people try to use dog training methods to train their cat and that is why most fail. Cat training is especially vital if you're having behavioral difficulties with your cat. Behavior problems in cats are not a rare occurrence and can happen with cats of all ages.
The truth is any cat's behavior can be changed. You can start correcting unwanted behavior in a matter of minutes instead of simply hoping things will get better soon.It's never too early or too late to work on your cat's behavior issues
Often, your cat's bad behavior comes from his innate curiosity. Sadly, most people don't know how to fix behavior problems and think their cat is "just born that way". Misbehavior from your cat often arises from being bored. So it is definitely far easier to reward your cat when you see it performing a right behavior.
With the right tools and a little patience, you can work through behavioral problems like shredding your furniture or missing the litter box. If a cat can be trained to use a litter tray then there is absolutely no reason why you cannot start potty training your cat to use a toilet.
The truth is, "toilet training" your cat doesn't have to be difficult at all. Before you start potty training your cat, you must make sure that it is using its litter tray every time it needs to do its business. Training a cat to use the toilet is becoming more common then you might realize.
Another helpful point in cat potty training is the fact that quite a few houses have two bathrooms, so try and 'reserve' one just for the cat during the training period and don't forget to leave the toilet lid up and the seat down.
Another tip, when you find your cat pulling out it's hair, we examine the means available to stop the pulling out hair, we find that there are two major approaches to this; through medication and through behavioral therapy. This behavior is triggered by negative feelings of stress, anger, anxiety, fear, and other stressful types of external stimuli.
As time goes, you will come to realize your cat's behavior triggers and such, thus forming your own personal communication. When armed with the very best strategies and advice, you deal with stressful behavior challenges without one ounce of humiliation or harm to you cat.
