My question is that i want to have 2 male parakeets and two female parakeets in the same cage. Though i want them to mate and have a nesting box in the cage. Due to 2 male and female birds would that interrupt mating between any of them with limited nesting area

Dear Yahoo! Answers Members,

Hi, I have been looking for a store that mainly sells things for birds. Such as food, cages, treats, calcium enrichment, perches, and other medical things for my birds.

The local pet shops around me are selling very bad things for birds. I was looking at a large parakeet cage, and it said that it has large amounts of zinc and lead in it! also, their bird food isn’t very good, like my birds look thinner. The treats have also gain price in a bad way, too. They are also selling cardboard nest boxes! Everything is so wrong for birds.

This one lady had a beautiful Ring Necked parakeet, and they person who was in charge of nail/wing clipping cut both the Blood Feather and the Kwik! Thankfully, I had corn starch on me (I always have this when at pet stores,) and I clipped the bird’s wings properly and saved it’s life.

I do not want to report this, because what would happen to the other pet owners in my area? Where would they go to get their animal supplies?

I live in Middletown, Ohio and I was wondering if there was a bird store around my area. I do not need to get a pet bird, just the supplies.

I don’t buy products online.
Also, I have two parakeets (budgies) and two cockatiels (Normal Grey), I don’t want stores for Macaws, or anything like that.

Can anyone advise me on which is best,
1) nest boxes in the flight area allowing my 2 sets of birds to just have a “free for all” attitude or
2) put them 2 sets into their own private breeding cage and let them get on with it.
I have had 2 answers from bird loving friends but one said colony breeding with nest boxes and the other said hand picked certain birds in private quarters. I am so confused now HELP…

A bird feeds two chicks in a nest built in an empty pot on a fire escape outside an apartment window in the Nob Hill neighborhood of San Francisco.

I live in Fort Pierre, South Dakota, and I’ve been fascinated by birds for as long as I can remember. Recently, my grandfather and I built two plastic-bottle birdfeeders. We don’t usually see a lot of blue jays, but they *do* live in the area. I want to attract as many different species as possible. Will standard mixed bird feed work, or is there anything special to attract specific birds in the area? A few examples of some of the birds that I want to attract are blue jays, robins, chipping sparrows, other sparrows, finches, doves, and common grackles (locally known as “blue-headed blackbirds”). It doesn’t have to be just those species, though.
Anyway, an answer would really be appreciated. Thanks for the help.

i’d like to hear from anyone in Washington Oregon area who is trying to attract these birds to reduce the insects for their horses. Particularly flies and mosquitoes. I saw 8 and 10 room swallow houses for about $100.00.
but the martin houses were $30.00 for only one nest box.
Any cheaper ways??
