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!!

How can you tell if a bird has fever?

Posted on February 1, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

last nite Bobby’s head felt warm. I mean warm enuf for me to notice. His feet were normal and he is acting normal (for him). Has anyone tried that new bird food that just came out on the net? They send you a trial bag (4 lbs.) for shipping charges of 4.95 and then send it every month automatically. they claim you can feed parikeets to cockatoos with it.

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

How do I get my bird to eat bird food and not just seeds ?

Posted on January 16, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

My bird is a Green Cheeked Conure, about 6 or 7 months old. The people I bought her/him (?) from were feeding it sunflower seeds and wild bird seed.
I bought some bird food (maintenance food that looks like light tan pellets and some fruit maintenance food that looks like fruit and smells like fruit) but Bobby picks thru the food to find the seeds( caused I stupidly mixed all the foods together). I also read somewhere on the net that this kind of bird likes cold. Cold water for a bath and cold temperatures too.
Bobby loves to sit on the window sill of my closed window and when I pick it up it’s feet are very cold. Should this worry me ? Also, does anybody
know if a male or female talks ? Bobby is learning quite a vocabulary and talks it’s head off to get me up in the mornings !!!!! I have read quite a bit on the net but still need some answers……thanks alot for helping me.
