[u]off[/u]

course you should foster them

birdman5000

just trying to get my abreviations right so i dont have a meltdown like i did with lol, sig, and fid

these short terms drove me nuts till i found out what they meant then i laughed and felt stupid

birdman5000

i am asuming cag stands for african grey congo, african grey timneh,or african grey camaroon wich one of these species are you getting

birdman5000

thanks

birdman5000

like i said if the other pair doesnt have chicks or eggs they probably wont foster them

birdman5000

i heard that pets arent as common in ausi and you hav to have special licenses just to own a reptile

birdman5000

iv spent a lot in a few days but i made the bad mistake of spending to much $$$$ on new birds/cages and didnt have enough to get extra toys

birdman5000

i only cover bubba to keep him quiet he will stay up and make noise if i dont but i dont cover the rest they sleep just fine without one

birdman5000

i have a ? about mushrooms iv never fed them or heard of people feeding them but i was letting babba eat some spagehtti and he came to a mushroom. i was unshure about it so i took it away. i was wondering if they are ok, i no some shrooms are deadly to everything but are the ones we eat ok for birds...

birdman5000

my pair started courting in the transport cage as soon as i got the home but i agree its up to the temprament of the birds

birdman5000

why are you puting them togerther inthe first place? if you need the older ones to foster the chick it depends on the situation of the pair if they are not a bonded breeding pair with their own chicks/eggs they probably wont foster it

birdman5000

[quote="Dani03"]Awww they are so pretty! I don't think I've ever seen one in person...how big are they? they are about the same size as a budgie. built a little bigger with a longer and broader tail i was surprised at how quiet they are so far all he has done is make a littile chirp that s...

birdman5000

when do the pin feathers come in and how long after that do they start opening when are they fully fledged

birdman5000

when doe the chicks start geting the pin feathers and what time do they start opening

birdman5000

i dont know but i am pretty sure it was the last one to hatch because it was way smaller than the rest of them

birdman5000

back when i first introduced the nestbox i only put a few inches in there and the female tossed most of it out and then i put a little more in and she tossed more of that out too. there is about 2-2 1/2 inches left in there

to much

birdman5000

yesturday i went to inspect my irns nest box an saw the fourth egg was missing but there was still only 3 chicks so i did some investigating and found a barried chick that had past on i think it was either neglected because the parrents knew something was wrong with it, or it died naturally soon aft...

[quote="jen5239"]I am BY FAR NO expert on anything when it comes to birds. BUT I have heard many times that mirrors are not a good idea. I've been told that the bird will "bond" with the bird in the mirror therefore not needing us. So I have never put a mirror in with any of my birds. But ...

birdman5000

they parrents are green so the babies will probably be green to

my irns hatched their first egg lastnight Very Happy the female (echo is her name) is uber crazy now. if she hears the cage door open she turns into a suicide bomber she attacked my hand when i stuck it in to tie on a new mineral block and when i pulled my hand out of her way she attacked the minera...

birdman5000

avacado, caffine, chocolate, sugar, salt, and apple seeds are all bad. i have read on this site that brocoli, and spinach are good for them but not to much they chemically bond/accumulate too much. and it isnt so good they kind of o.d. on it. the same with sunflower seeds they are fatty apples are o...

birdman5000

thanks a lot

i new they needed more fat some macaw species need even more than most

but i never new thats why the macaw formula was different and i can use the stuff at the pet store down the street rather than driving to the next city to get different kinds at the bird farm.

birdman5000

i want to hand feed the chicks my irns will hopfully hatch i know to take them at two weeks old but i was wondering about the formula. I have seen exact parrot feeding formula that is "good for most birds" at least thats what it says on the label but when i finished feeding my macaw the breeder gave...

birdman5000

if it gets too cold you cloud also put a heat lamp with a bulb that emits little light and a lot of heat mostly used for reptiles most pet shops carry everything you need for this

i guess im lucky i have a 6 year old male that was kept as a pet for its whole life and a female 2 years old that was kept with the male its whole life as a pet. i bought them early january and noticed them courting and attempting to mate. A week later i attatched a nesting box to the outside of the...

once we were cliping all our tiels wings and one started to bleed we tryied to stop it but it wouldnt, so my uncle yanked it out and i thought he was crazy but thats when it stopped bleeding so id say sometimes pulling it is ok to me

birdman5000

i paid $250 for a pair of greens here in california with a female tame and a semi-tame male. that i am breeding now they are on a clutch of four eggs set to start hatching monday or tuesday. (cross my fingers)

birdman5000

at the local bird farm they have several pairs housed in the same aviary. i talked to the employees and they said all of the birds were put in it at the same time and established a dominance chain or pecking order first and it was a while before they started breeding but currently they have at least...

birdman5000

in the past i have used a big flashlite and tape a piece of cardboard over it with a small hole in it and put the egg on the hole.

birdman5000

my irns laid 4 eggs starting late of the night of the 9th of febuary.

i am expecting the first egg to hatch in 3-4 days and i was wondering if it is to late to candle them would it harm them or their development to handle/candle them this late in incubation?

birdman5000

you could try threading the wires inside pvc-pipe, garden hose, or a vaccum hose to channel it from place to place making it hidden and protected. or use a taste repelant like "bitter apple" most pets hate the taste and once he bites it he shouldnt again, but it does ware off after a few hours so i ...
