There have always been many myths surrounding pets, many of which are now known to be untrue. However, veterinary surgeons around the UK have revealed that there are still common myths which many pet owners still believe today. Below are the ten most common of these:Dogs can only see in black and white: This is incorrect. Dogs can actually see in colour although they are colour blind when it comes to red and green. A dog's vision is about six times poorer than a human's but their night vision is much better.A cat that is purring is happy and content: This is not necessarily true. Although cats do often purr when they are content and being shown affection, they may also purr when they are in pain, feel anxious or are in discomfort. There is actually no general rule on why and when cats purr.A dog with a cold and wet nose is a healthy dog: Many dogs will usually have a cold, moist nose but this doesn't necessarily mean that a warm and dry nose indicates illness, it can be perfectly normal for some dogs. A healthy nose is smooth with no red, inflamed or ulcerated areas. Discharge from the nose may indicate that something is wrong, although dogs often lick this away, so...more

Cockatiels are one of the smallest types of pet to own, so you will need to keep an eye on your existing pets to make sure that they do not harm your new cockatiel.In most cases dogs will not be a problem for your cockatiel, as dogs will generally ignore the bird. If you have a dog that likes to chase birds, it might be a good idea to keep them separated.Cats on the other hand are natural preditors, and are more likely to look at your cockatiel as their next meal. They will usually wait for the bird to be removed from the cage before trying to catch it. Some will even be so bold as to climb onto the cage and attempt to reach it through the mesh. Although this may not cause direct harm, it will upset your cockatiel, which may injure itself by flapping around its cage.A tame bird is especially vulnerable to a cat, as its natural fear is lessened. Try to keep your cockatiel in a room that your cats aren't allowed into, and if letting your cockatiel out of his cage, first check that the cats aren't around. Never be tempted to leave the bird unsupervised in the room, even for a short time, especially if you have children. They could open a door and let the cat in by accident,...more
