Pitt Bull Owners, throw out the “How He was raised” factor….?

Posted on March 14, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

If I’m wrong, then why do pointers, (Bird Dogs) know how to point at an early age? How about well bread beagles, their noses are on the ground sniffing for rabbit tracks at 5 months old? Why? because its bred into them. Same way with bucking horses, they breed a good bucking horse to another to get a good bucking stock! Not that I hate pitt bulls, but they were orignally breed to fight. Pitts from show quailty are cool, look at the past pedigree! If I’m wrong, get a 3 y/o horse from bucking stock breed, feed him all the carrots you want, brush him, then get on him. Then tell me its the owners fault! I’m ready, hit me with the amount of the hospital bill after he bucked you and stomped your ass!! Just wanted to speak my mind, tired of the “Its the owners fault” answers….

A baby Mourning Dove Help!!?

Posted on February 8, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

So I found a baby mourning dove that is about 3-5Wks of age. Some children where messing with it and i saved it. Good thing it was not severely hurt, just maybe minor bruises but all is fine^^ Uhm..i wasn’t sure where the baby bird came from, I did search for its nest but did not find it so i took it home with me. i bought some Exact baby bird food and a small syringe to feed it, and placed it in a box covered to warm it up, and calm it down from the shock.
One thing i need to understand is how much of the Exact baby bird food do i need to feed it and every how many hours???

heres a pick on how it looks exactly like!!

Its not aggressive at me..i would probably say that its a little scared and a bit hesitant toward me..so urhm..yah.Also.. do i offer it any bird food or what should i start off with?

I have had my budgie Sammi for about 3 years and our neighbors just moved and gave us their bird Coco. Sammi is the female and Coco is the male he is about the same age. I have a nice big cage lots of toys and they love the bottom of the cage filled with the bedding you use for hamsters. I don’t really want to put a nest box in there. I just caught them mating and was wondering if she will lay her eggs without a nest box.

I have a male cockatiel age 7 years and a female 9 months.?

Posted on January 8, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

Last week the young female laid an egg on the floor of the cage. I bought a nesting box, attached it to the cage, and with a paper towel moved the egg into the box on soft material purchased with the box. I do not see either of the birds sitting on the eggs or even going into the box. Today I found another egg on the cage floor and moved it into the box as before.
I would like to have a baby cockatiel. Am I doing things correctly? If not, how should I proceed?
