Malagos Bird Care: Feed. Interact. Learn.

All animals at the resort are not captured to utilize or to be amused at. All of them actually are rescue animals and domestic animals that need care for protection and preservation. With all the small birds like parakeets or cockatiels and large birds we have taken care of. Here are our special ways of taking care of our birds:

Food

A healthy diet is one of the keys for a long life. During bird shows or bird feeding activities we show feeding seeds to birds. However, an all-seed diet is like a treat that is high in fats and low in minerals and vitamins. 

On regular meals we feed our birds with leafy greens, raw veggies, fruits, and healthy cooked foods to supplement the diet. Their food are the fresh vegetables that we grow and have not passed the quality assessment for Davao City Resorts.

Generally, when none of these seeds or vegetables are available we can resort to commercial pelleted diets for convenience and they still ensure proper nutrition. 

Shelter

Most of our birds are left to fly wherever inside the wide bird dome. Considering the wide variety of birds we take care of, some are isolated because of their territorial personality that may cause havoc when all birds are kept in one place.

For instance, owls are kept away because of their nocturnal nature and may find diurnal birds annoying. The big birds, like ravens and some parrots, might hoard food and dominate the whole bird dome and may even act territorial.

Thus, shelter keeps every bird safe from other birds and from the changes of the environment. Keep note that it would be better to have an advanced closing mechanism since birds are very observant and smart that they could escape simple locks.

Training

Raining any pet needs care, devotion, and time. Begin with simple tricks like perching. Place your hand in the cage for progressively longer lengths of time to acclimatize the bird to your presence. Move slowly, speak quietly, and use a treat, such as a little piece of soft food, as a reward. Apply moderate pressure to the chest while saying "Up" or "Step Up" until the bird steps up onto your finger. Practice frequently and encourage positive conduct. Male parakeets and cockatiels are typically better talkers than females of the species. Begin by teaching one word at a time, keep lessons focused, and reward your bird after each session.

Love

One of the happiest sounds on Earth is a healthy bird chirping and singing. Birds are not decorations. They are very clever beings who require a safe home, appropriate nourishment, love, and care. You will be rewarded with years of pleasurable company in exchange. A part of their natural habitat was destroyed to build safe houses for care centers for domestic animals and animal rescue.

Only a Davao nature resort like Malagos Garden Resort has advocated to give back what nature has gifted to us through being nature friendly and welcoming to wildlife that passes through the resort. Through this, wildlife accepts the resort as a friend who welcomes them in time of desperate need. Express your love of birds at our Hotel and Resort Accommodation in Davao and make a reservation now!
