Caring for avians
Birdkeeping is the practice of keeping birds as pets or for breeding, typically in cages or aviaries.
The term covers everything from a single parakeet in a living room to elaborate setups for exotic species.
Birdkeepers attend to feeding, housing, and the particular social needs of their birds: She got into birdkeeping after inheriting her aunt's cockatiel.
