Come Chat with Bruno Mars

BirdCast

The human fascination with birds and keeping them in their homes has been part of human existence for 1000's of years.
The surviving frescoes and mosaics of ancient civilisations such as Pompeii shows the prominence of birds in people's homes. Chinese historians suggest that birdkeeping became an established social event during the time of Qing (1644-1912) when the nobles of the Qing dynasty and the court eunuchs kept birds in their homes to fill in time, giving them something to do. So the notion that birdkeeping, as in keeping birds in the house with you, is a modern Western society phenomena is simply not true.
Today we chat with Bruno Mars and his owner, Ruby Smith. Bruno is a cockatiel (Nymphicus hollandicus) aka weiro bird. Bruno is actually a re-homed bird and Ruby has owned him for some 10 years.
If you love "teils", or have your own companion bird, or are considering getting a companion bird have a listen in to what Ruby has to say about her 10 years of living with Bruno and how she lovingly provides this boy a forever home.
Birdman Dad will be posting video and photos of Bruno and Ruby on his Instagram page:
