We started to feed a local cat some months ago, and it adopted us. Yesterday, I accidentally left the bird cage open and my mom accidentally left the room door open. The cat ate our budgie. My mom says it’s my fault, and I feel guilty as well as sad. Is mom right to blame me?
Okay, so i came down to start dinner, and i went over to the bird cage. My parakeet was sitting in the food cup, and as soon as i came over, she got out. I looked in, and THERE WAS AN EGG IN THE CUP!!! Im going to go to Petco, and get a nesting box, but once I do, what do i do with the egg in the cup?!?!?!?!? Do i move it? Or just let it stay there? if I do move it, how will she know where it is? HELP!!
I have 3 others, beside the one laying the egg (she is like… 5), one of which, is a male…. *looks around*
Can i put cedar or aspen shaving in my bird cage or nest box?
I wanted to put some sort of material other than the store bought nest material inside my birds nest box.
The store bought kind is white-ish and i can not see the eggs…..
I was wondering about construction paper….but people tell me they can ingest the dyes in the paper and it could harm them!
So i was wondering about aspen or cedar shavings?~Rachel
Ok! Today I came home from school and done the washing for my mum! While I was doing it I saw an egg on top of the cockatiels Box in the bird cage but it was very weird! I don’t know which female did it but I was pretty sure it was the one that I bought on Sunday!
PS. It is not tame!
Why would it do this?
could there be a way to stop the bird from doing this?
Would it be too late for the egg?
Can you just tell me!
There are 4 cockatiels in the same cage and I think 2 or 3 of them are female
and 3 or 2 males!
I have 3 cats who live in the feed /hay storage/ wood shop. I didn’t think they were old enough to get preg but the two females did and one had 3 kittens on the hay. 2 kittens fell into a crack between the bales and apparently got too cold and died. I didn’t realize the hay had cracks in it and it didn’t croos my mind they would not be safe up there. She had already moved the surviving kitten and the other two were 4 bales deep I put my tomcat out for fear of him hurting the kittens. The problem is I live by a highway and am afraid Tom will get hit. I have been locking him in a bird cage at night to keep him safe. He also is a great hunter and I don’t want him to catch the birds in my yard. I know people who have Tom cats that don’t harm the Kittens at all but someone else told me he would.l He wants back in the shop very bad. Do you think he will hurt them?
My sweet shy parakeet, Angel, had a brood of hatchlings with our other parakeet, Beslie. We kept three. Now, she had another brood, and they’re nearly ready to leave the nesting bo. They always peek out now, and have nearly all their feathers. The problem is that ever since about two weeks ago, one of the old brood, I’ll call her C, has been attempting to go inside the nestig bo and kill the three babies. one, she somehow managed to enter and injured two in the head, leaving very terrifying bloody marks quite close to the eyes on both. Even as I speak, (type, whatever) she is still trying to invade and destroy. the mother sometimes attacks her back, and they fight noisely. Angel always has to chase C away from the nesting box, just in time. We’re trying to give C away, but it will be awhile before anyone takes her. I’m afraid that as soon as one comes out, into the bird cage, she will automaticlly murder him/her. I love them all dearly (except for C…) and don’t want them to be killed. Is there any way to keep C from killing them? I don’t want to kill her, and I annot afford a separate cage. What do I do?
I have 1 male and 2 female parakeets in one 3-bird cage. I have recently figured out that my two females are both pregnant. I need two nesting boxes, and I can only fit one in the cage. I have another 1-bird cage, but it won’t fit a nesting box probably. Any suggestions on questions or on the baby’s? This is my first time with a pregnant parakeet!
