Unconditional affection and loyalty, companionship, reasons to live and love… these are the essence of pet ownership. Many studies have proven the value of pet ownership for senior citizens. The findings underscore that an older person with a pet is ALMOST a match made in heaven.
As one ages, new experiences occur which are not always welcome: loss of independence, moving to new surroundings, loss of a spouse, loss of friends, changes in physical health. These changes can create a time of increased loneliness, loss of interest in hobbies, and depression. Love is a perfect prescription for loneliness, and there is no better delivery device for love than a happy bundle of fur also known as a pet.
The list of the advantages of pet ownership for the elderly is quite extensive. From a purely medical point of view, studies have shown pet ownership to reduce blood pressure, reduce stress anxiety and to reduce depression. Reduced rehab time after heart attacks has been documented in the pet owning population; coronary disease and cholesterol issues are reduced as well. Pet owning seniors also visit the doctor less often. Muscle strength and flexibility are better. Many of these physical benefits are traced to the increased activity, such as walking, that pet owners undertake with their animals. Walking also keeps them in touch with the restorative aspects of the surrounding community and nature.

The fact is our resources of animal welfare charities, socities whatever name you want to give these safety nets for pets and unwanted animals are picking up the tab for people who are just saying “hm” to these articles and moving on with their lives.

Bird dust is a powder like substance that some birds produce to keep their feather soft and in good condition. The birds that produce this kind of powder are appropriately called powder down birds. These include Cockatoos, African Greys, Cockatiels, and some Amazons. Dust from the Amazon is less noticeable that from the others because it is darker in color rather than white, and goes unnoticed. And wing dust is just one of several kinds of dust birds generate.
