Breeding love birds can come with risks, especially if a mate dies. Informing yourself about love birds and their mating process can help you figure out if this right decision for your animals and for you. Understand that unlike other animals, lovebirds mate for life and can continue mating throughout their almost 15 year life cycle. Monogamy underpins the social structure of lovebirds and is vital to the stability of flocks. Be aware that if a mate dies, its companion can exhibit erratic behavior that is like a form of depression. Lovebirds do not like to be alone. Enjoy the fact that lovebirds are romantic with one another and may feed each other to re-establish their bonds after stress or separation. Lovebirds usually live in holes in trees, rocks or shrubs in the wild. Buy the supplies to give your lovebirds a home where they feel comfortable and can breed successfully. Get your lovebirds a cage of no less than 18x18x12 inches with the bars spaced no more than 3/4" inch apart. Try and purchase a square or rectangular cage so they have places to hide. Place different sized perches in the cage along with toys to keep the lovebirds happy and stimulated. Avoid wooden Put separate water and food dishes in the cage away from the bottom. Clean the cage and dishes daily to keep your lovebirds healthy. Disinfect the cage once a week. Choose the best lovebirds to breed. This can help ensure the health of the birds and the breed. Check that the lovebirds you want to mate are not related. This may require a DNA test. Make sure the birds have not mated for more than 2 clutches, which can cause them serious illness. Avoid mixing breeds, which results in hybrid birds that don't belong to any species of lovebirds. Male and female lovebirds often look the same, so you may need to take your birds to a veterinarian to determine the sex. Contact groups such as the African Love Bird Society for places to get birds of the same species as yours. Choosing a healthy mate for your lovebird or two healthy lovebirds is important to maintaining their health and that of the breed. Look for the following qualities of a good lovebird specimen when selecting a mate or pair: Rounded body shape Good ability to stand and walk Broad rump and back Rounded and full breast Sharp and compact tail Large, wide, and rounded head Wide and appealing face Large, round, and bold eyes Even, deep and clear plumage, or feathers Immaculate feather condition Clean, large, and strong feet with straight toes and no scars Clean and large bill, or beak, free of scars.

summary: Learn about love birds. Get supplies to breed and house lovebirds. Find a pair of lovebirds to breed. Select a healthy mate.

Like secular forms of meditation, mediating on the Word of God requires you to set yourself apart from the noise and distractions of the world long enough to focus on the task at hand. Multitasking may seem like a valuable skill in today's world, but you won't be able to give any task 100% while trying to balance it with something else. Minimizing your distractions while meditating on God's Word should improve your ability to focus on it. Try to set aside at least 15 to 30 minutes for your meditation. Let any family or roommates know that you need time to yourself to focus, and set yourself apart in a quiet, empty room. Make yourself comfortable, but not so comfortable that you find it hard to stay awake. External silence isn't the only quiet required for this form of meditation. You also need to pursue internal quiet by setting aside your doubts, fears, and other distracting thoughts. Don't feel too guilty if your mind initially wanders back to the day's problems, but don't let your thoughts dwell there, either. As soon as you notice yourself getting sidelined by anxieties or other concerns, take a moment to pause and consciously redirect your attention back to God. Praying for rededicated focus at that moment may also help. Open the Bible and read the verse or verses you plan to meditate over. Spend as much time as you need to gain a basic understanding of the words, then bookmark the verse for later; you'll need to refer to it continually throughout your meditation. After you read through the passage, try reading through it again. This time, speak the words out loud and intentionally emphasize different portions by your tone, and open yourself to new revelations as you do so. Repeat this exercise as often as needed or desired during your meditation. If necessary, you may also wish to improve your understanding using other tools. Research the cultural context. Read through verses that are similar in tone or topic. Look up unfamiliar words in a dictionary or thesaurus. Spend a few minutes praying to God for guidance on your meditative efforts. Ask God to open your heart to the truth and wisdom lying within His Word. While the Bible may seem like little more than words on a page, try to keep in mind that the text you read comes direct from God. Asking the Holy Spirit to enrich your understanding while you meditate is, essentially, like asking an author to help improve your understanding of his story.

summary: Find a quiet place. Quiet your heart. Read the Bible. Pray over the readings.

Start by working in your local film scene or in areas that you can easily get to. Save the money you make so you can make the move to a larger city where more roles are available and movies are frequently made. Consider moving to Los Angeles, Austin, New York, or Atlanta if you're in the United States. Try Vancouver, Toronto, London, or Mumbai for film outside of the US. Search for casting calls on websites like Backstage or Craigslist for local commercials. As you go in for the audition, dress for the part you're playing so the casting directors can easily picture you in the role. Commercial acting is a smaller role, but it will give you exposure to a wide audience and get your face out to the public. Look out for posts on Craigslist that seem too good to be true since they could possibly be scams. Watch for off-site emails or jobs that seem to be paying too high with no needed experience. Once you're where you need to be, get connected and take on roles as an extra, or background actor. Open casting calls for these can be found all over the Internet, but a few places to start off are Backstage, Hollywood Reporter and Variety. Though it may not be a starring role, you can still list an extra role on your resume to show you have experience. Ask around your network for opinions on who to go to and how to get started. Make cold-calls or send inquiry letters to agencies to see if they are looking for new talent to represent. An agent will help you negotiate deals for the roles you take on. Agents only get paid when they find you work. Don't buy into the ones that demand some exorbitant fee even if your schedule stays wide open. Look into organizations like ACTRA, AEA, AGMA or AGVA. Once you are a member for at least 1 year and worked under union, you're eligible to get into SAG (the Screen Actor's Guild). Unions provide you with benefits and insurances while you're working. Annual SAG fees are $201.96 USD and 1.575% of the earnings you make in that year. Check with the union you're interested in to see what their annual rates are. Though it's completely possible to run through all the hoops without it and still find success, having your equity card opens up a number of auditions that otherwise wouldn't be available to you. You either have to get a contract that requires equity standing, be a member of a sister group (like SAG, for example), or accumulate enough credits to meet the standard. It's natural to find the process a bit confusing, so contact a friend or mainstay in your actor's social network for more information on how they received their card.
summary: Move to a large city if possible. Look for roles in commercials when you begin. Become an "extra" actor in larger pictures. Get an agent. Get into a performer's union. Consider getting your equity card if you want to do theatre.
