Choosing the best pets for kids… For children, owning a pet can be a rewarding experience. A well-chosen pet can bring years of joy.
Owning a pet can also be a chance for children to learn valuable life lessons from caring for an animal. Pets can teach children about responsibility and reliability under the guidance of adults.
As an added bonus, some pets give affection in return for a child’s loving attention.
8. Birds
Birds can be excellent pets. Although, owning a bird is more demanding than caring for a tortoise or fish. Some birds are highly intelligent. Others are very social. All birds require almost daily attention.
The relatively inexpensive parakeet may be a good starter for kids who haven’t raised birds before. More expensive (and more intelligent) birds like cockatiels and cockatoos also make great pets, but they may need more attention than parakeets or canaries.
