Could you use a furry friend?
Nothing soothes stress like having a companion to talk to—and budgerigars fit the bill. As the most popular breed of parakeets, they are decidedly chatty and low-key."Budgies are highly social birds and love to interact with people, birds, and even other animals," says McCarthy."They frequently learn behaviors and mimic voices and tones, and, with practice, some parakeets have been known to learn vocabularies of more than 100 words.
Although they can't learn to converse, they can be taught to mimic and respond to cues and verbal commands. All they need is a small, clean cage with a perch, as well as food and water. Add a few toys with reflective surfaces, bells, and rattles to keep them happy, suggests McCarthy.Hermit crabs are inexpensive, low-maintenance, and cute. "These guys are quite social and groups of crabs tend to be more active than individual crabs," says McCarthy.
They do need a humid cage, which does require some setup."Use an under-tank heat pad to keep your pets warm," says McCarthy."A large water dish in the cage will supply humidity." Once you experience the joy of one crawling in your hand, you'll forget all about the hour you put into getting them organized.
