They are carnivores (meat eaters) and have been domesticated for over 2000 years. Ferrets have an average lifespan of 5-7 years, but may occasionally live as long as 12 years.
Comparing birds and ferrets is like comparing a dog with a parrot, they are everything but similar.
Birds, on the other hand, are kept mostly in cages, and they do not need a lot of supervision.
If you are interested in adopting, please be sure to read through this information in its entirety.
Helloooooooooooo! Wellness Info The best way to have ferrets and birds is to let them see each other occasionally from a distance so the ferrets get used to the presence of the birds, but to never allow them to really interact or share a space.
If a bird happens to fly down to the ground, pick him up quickly.
Ferrets are in the family of animals called mustelids, which means they have a musky aroma. They are very curious, playful and can be quite entertaining.

Ferrets and birds ready for adoption! Ferrets are carnivores and while your ferret may not consciously think of other small pets (e.g hamsters and other rodents, rabbits, birds, small lizards, snakes) as a meal, quick movements by these small animals may trigger a predator-prey instinct in your ferret.
