Animal caretakers, such as zookeepers and good pet owners will pay close attention to the history and needs of an animal so that specific and direct care can be given appropriately to the animal.To put it simply,any animal caretaker can feed an animal and clean its cage. a good animal caretaker will go above and beyond.let's take a parrot for example.An average caretaker will feed the parrot give it fresh water, clean the cage etc..A great caretaker will pay attention to the types of food the parrots like...is he eating more peanuts than blueberries, is he getting pudgy does he look dehydrated?He/she will play with animal, challenge it, change its food by giving it different types of food,cut in different ways (crunchy soft sweet etc..) If the animal was abused the caretaker will allow plenty of time for the animal to slowly trust its new owner.The animal will interact with other animals or people, different toys will be put in its cage, it will have new and interesting experiences each day...this is called enrichment.If the animal is ill or sick, if you notice feathers fading or the beak is overgrown you take care of it.The number one rule- DO NOT NEGLECT YOUR ANIMAL!Animals experience constant change and action in the wild, so if a caretaker wants to make sure the animal is happy healty and safe, keep life fun! or else your animal will get bored, sad depressed and can even die.
