www.euromonitor.com While the pet care market in Canada is mature, there are plenty of opportunities for growth, with a market size estimate of 2.8 billion dollars (US) for 2012. Svetlana Uduslivaia, senior research analyst at Euromonitor International discusses trends in the North American pet care market in light of a recently attended conference and trade show organized by the Pet Industry Joint Advisory Council of Canada (PIJAC). Natural products such as treats and food are a large upcoming trend, as well as products positioned as convenient. Ready meals are a good example of the convenience trend, with Purina Beneful being the first company to launch ready meals globally.

Question by •??????•: A budgie’s life: questions?
I have a budgie, Angel, who is very special to me. I’ve had him for about two years (got him June of ’08), and he is a very sweet and weird little Albino. He is VERY outgoing, he will fly to you, act like a maniac, pick on the dog, eat with the dog, chase after you (you literally have to run from him) and he never bites, only nibbles. Now, he is a (very recently!) father of three not-even-week-old babies.

He gets along with everyone in my family, and all the pets. I love him so much! I really want him to live longer. He gets cooked corn, green beans, carrots, peas, and a few other veggies. He has never gotten really sick. Angel is a very special bird.

He IS a pet store bird, and he is actually very weird for one. His wings (when clipped, we only did that once) grew back in a week, and we got him young. He is now starting to molt.

Now, I’m wondering, how do I make sure he STAYS healthy and lives a long life? I make sure he has fresh seeds, vegetables, and a good cage. He gets let out for free roam, but well supervised, for ten hours a day, the rest sleeping.

How long can he live if he’s two years? How can I make him healthier (and stay that way…)?

His wife’s name is Emmy, and he is two months her senior, and they have three kids (well, chicks) together and he is a wonderful daddy! He feeds her and the babies, and as soon as he hears them crying, he goes into the cage.

I don’t have pictures of the babies (yet), but here are Angel and Emmy in their small cage when we were in the middle of a flood (they were kept in a small cage because their normal one was damaged)

The white bird is Angel and the green/yellow one is Emmy. Emmy is young in this one because this was when we first got her.

The green is just from a marker, we wrote down the names of the birds on the lower outside cage because they were bundled up, and we needed to know who was who, and it bled through and over the side, but we wiped it up and cleaned it.

So how can I make him live longer? Make him healthier? What other things can I do for him?

Answer by ms bell
One thing you can do is make sure you take both parakeets to the vet for a yearly exam. This will help them both live longer.

Also, always be observant and keep a close eye out for any signs of illness or unusual behavior in the parakeet. If you notice anything out of the ordinary, take the parakeet to the vet as soon as possible.

In addition, I highly recommend clipping the birds wings. It looks like both your parakeets’ wings are clipped from the photos. (They are so cute!) This way, it’s much less likely they will fly into an object and hurt or injure themselves.

Many illnesses in parakeets are unpredictable, and parakeets can become ill even if well taken care of. I’ve had some of my parakeets live a long life, while others died at a young age. Sometimes genetics plays a role in the parakeet’s health, and there’s nothing you can do about that. Just keep feeding them well, caring for them, and, like I mentioned, get them examined by the vet. Since birds tend to hide their illnesses until it’s too late to help them, it’s so important to get them to an avian vet. A parakeet can be ill without your even knowing it. A vet exam would catch any illness early so it can be treated.

Question by lizard S: Seniors and pets non-profit org?
My mom and I have been thinking about starting an organization for senior citizens that own pets. There are tons of health benefits like people that own pets live longer and have fewer hospitalizations. I have lots of research papers that prove this.

I know a lot of people don’t get a dog because they can’t afford it and they are afraid of what will happen to it once they pass away.

I want to start an origination to help seniors in my community afford the basics of pet care (vaccinations, food, spay and neuter, grooming, training etc) and provide adoptions if the person passes away.

I am trying to get a feel to see if people think this is a good idea. Please tell me what you think before I start working on corporate sponsorship.
I am thinking of more like bi-monthly fairs were people could bring in the pets for all these things and have small classes to teach the seniors.
