are my lovebirds’ eggs fertile?

Posted on January 21, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

my lovebird, tiki, was put in a cage with 2 others that i have. the other 2 are siblings. at first they fought, but then one of the 2 mated with Tiki 2 times, and the other one stayed in a tunnel – and wouldn’t come out. the next morning, i separated them again because tiki had some blood on her beak. it has been a few weeks since this happened, and she has laid 3 eggs about 1-2 weeks ago. she is sitting on them in her nest box and she doesn’t have a pair. the problem is, i cant tell the 2 lovebirds apart so i cant just take one out for tiki. could the eggs be fertile? can i put the 3 birds back together? is it bad to have a lovebird alone in a cage, sitting on eggs?
thanks.

bottom of cage behavior?

Posted on January 19, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

i have recently aquired a pair of peach faced lovebirds that are thought to be a year old. they are very happy with each other, feed and groom each other. question is: they love to be on the bottom of the cage chewing up newspaper and then hiding under it. also, one of them likes to roll paper up under itself (even folds a paper towel if I put it in the cage). the bird rolls the paper with its beak, stuffs it under himself, and them rocks back and forth on it. is this the male or the femal? is this behavior “O>K>”?? thanxs.

why is my ring neck dove loosing feathers on middle head and neck?

Posted on December 21, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

My bird is loosing feathers aroung the neck and middle of the head down to the beak. I want to know if it might be sick or nervenous. He has been thru alot with moving and we lost 2 birds already one was sick when it was born nothing catching and the other was found a home. If anyone could help us out it sure would be appreciated. Oh! one more we are feeding like five mealworms a day is this good for him.

Is she a boy or a girl and are they breeding?

Posted on December 19, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

I origanally bought for parakeets, two boys and two girls. At least thats what i thought. Now a little less than a year later the two who I thought were grls started interaacting more. the one’spiece of skin above the beak was pink and the other one’s has always been a rough, crusty tanish coulor. Now a couple aof days ago the one with the pink beak’s beak has started to turn a blueish coulor and the one with the crusty tan beak is starting to get a round belly about the size of half of a chicken egg rght above her legs and she is really lazy and just eats and drinks unless she’s with the other bird then she’s happy. They do a lot of mouth to mouth but im not shure if they’re feeding each other. I want to add on to the cage and make it even bigger than it is now and put a nesting box in that, but im not sure what to do, i hope that someone out there can give me few answers and tips. Thank you. An if you can send me anything that can help me with this my e-mail is tbone1995mb@gmail.com
