Why ask, if you don’t want the correct answer?

Posted on May 10, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

People ask what to do for a sick/injured/orphaned wild animal they found. At least 5 people tell them to call a licensed wildlife rehabilitator, it is illegal to keep any native wild animal in the US without proper permits. They pick as best answer the one that tells them how to take care of the animal themselves. What part of illegal don’t they understand?

A person asks what not to feed her pet bird. Several people tell her not to feed it chocolate, it is deadly to birds. They cite avian vets and websites of experts to back up their answers. She edits her question to tell everyone she feeds her bird chocolate and it does not harm it at all.

If you are only looking for an answer that agrees with your preconcieved notions, if you are going to do what you want to do, no matter what you learn here, why waste your time, and the time of the people who give thoughtful, well-researched answers?

Can one murder an animal?

Posted on February 26, 2012 by admin| 10 Comments

In answer to another question, someone said one can not murder and animal. Unfortunately, that is not correct (Numbers 31:28; St Luke 3:6), as any animal lover knows, but it is all so very easy to do.
Another said thousands of animals are killed. Unfortunately, it is two million according to PETA. Another said we can’t feed all these animals. Why not? Hundred dollars each would do it, I think. We spent a hundred times that much to poison dandelions (weeds, worms, small animals, dogs and cats who walk on the pesticide, birds, and the water table).
I know the shelters are doing about all they can, but we build more shelters.
It is people understanding that has to change. Without love, animals will die.

Bird question (please answer)?

Posted on February 17, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

Hi!

Geez, I haven’t asked a question in forever!

When I grow up, I want to own a lot of birds. These are the ones I currently want:

TIELS (up to four)
PARROTLETS (up to four)
BUDGIES (up to four)
QUAKER PARROT (up to four)
LINEOLATED PARAKEETS (up to four)
CAIQUES (up to four)
KAKARIKIS (up to four)
LOVEBIRDS (up to four)

This is a few YEARS from now. I just want to know some things about these birds. Like:

1. HOW WELL DO ALL OF THESE GET ALONG?

I know Lovebirds can be with any other birds. I was just wondering if any of these other species will need to be blocked off?

2. NEST BOXES

I will most likely just have a pair or two of each species, but i was wondering what nest boxe sthey need. I know cockatiels and lovebrids can use cockatiel nest boxes, and most parakeet species can use parakeet nest boxes. Anything extra or special for the nest boxes?

3. PERSONAL EXPERIENCES?

I have three tiels and three keets ( and four keet eggs about to hatch!) so I know about those. I had keets and tiels most of my life. I was wonderign about the other birds, how well are they?

YES, I WILL DO MY RESEARCH! And I won’t be getting these birds until a few years from now. I was just wondering, and jsut wanting to know some things. I will give them vet check ups, food, water, good cages, fruits and vegetables, and things like that. I will most likely have a bird room for them (I have one for the current six brids I have!).

Thanks if you can offer any help.

OH! And yes, I can handle all of the poo. And I want to know which are the loudest (I can handle loud birds, now just ear splitting loud!), and I will have extra cages. I will most likely have a in-home job.

What species of each bird is the best?

Like I know there are several diffent kinds of lovebirds and caiques, but which are the best in you experience?

How often do they need to be fed?? 10 pts best answer?

Posted on January 20, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I have 3 pacific parrotlets babies, I have decided to take them out of the nesting box at 3 weeks to handfeed them so when it is time to find them homes they will be tame. So my questions are, when do I start introducing them to normal bird food, and how often do they need to be hand-fed at 3 weeks? Any advice will help..thanks!
The reason I ask is that I go to school 3 hours a day 5 days a week, and if they need to be fed like ever 2 hours or something I will just wait untill they are even older to take the out

zebra finch advice please answer?

Posted on January 2, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

iv had a zebra finch(male) since march when i took him on cause his mate died and his owner want it to keep my siskin(a rescue bird) company, so i took him on. I have now taken on a female zebra who i found outside, she and my male have paired up, well i think they have. My male had a nest that he came with that had all the nesting material that was in it when he was with his old partner, and he was very protective of his nest. i took the advice that i got from a question i post recently, which was to remove all the nesting material from his nest an clean it so that he would allow the female to share his nest and hopefully begin to breed. he now allows her in the nest but he isnt building a nest hes just useing the nest box when he goes to bed at night. will he start to make a nest or will he just forget about it? i have put hay in the cage but he is still showing no intrest at all. any help will be great and any tips to get them to breed will be great!! thnks a lot

if she did lay eggs in the nest box but the male didnt make a nest will her eggs survive and hatch or does the male need to make a nest. when i put the female in at first the male mated her but they havent done it since (that i have seen) and he mated her on tuesday and there arent any eggs so i guess it wasnt sucessful.
