Is there a rule for when the word “please” used in a sentence? Is there a British/American difference for it?
why wont my budgies wont enter there nest-box?
i put the nest-box outside there cage (had to cut some bars from cage) and its been there for about 3 months and my budgies wont enter it, nor will they get even close to it, what can i do so that they wont be scared of it, the female has layed an egg before on the cage floor but it broke, is there an alternative i can use instead of a nest box?? they are both 2yrs old, and i want them to have babies, but unless they enter the nest-box this will never happen, ive been reading a lot of articles on the web, and all say to use nest-box, any suggestion or websites?? the birds have been mating a lot lately, but they will just refuse to go in or close to there box
yes it has a whole for them to get in it, and its also clean, its brand new, this is the one im using http://www.petco.com/product/6183/PETCO-Parakeet-Nest-Box.aspx
yes they are both male and female, one has blur cere and other has brown cere, yes everything is correct on the nestbox, and i feed them diff foods, they are just really scared of the box, they have never approached it, not even by putting a millet spray, it does have a perch also the nestbox
Is it worth buying a 12 month old hand reared cockatiel, or should I wait for a more recently weaned one?
I had been planning to buy a young hand reared cockatiel for a while now, but in my regional area there aren’t many breeders and I would prefer not buying from a pet store. I have found one breeder who still has 8 of last season’s birds available, meaning they are hand-reared and she claims to handle them daily, they are apparently still very friendly, but they are a year old.
So, I was wondering, should I buy one of these? What the comparisons of how well you can bond with and train a year old cockatiel compared to one that has been recently weaned? Will it be that much different and harder?
I also have the option of asking her to pull a couple of chicks from a clutch she has now to hand rear, but apparently they are close to leaving the nest box and will be harder to rear and more flighty/harder to tame and bond with.
Or I could get one from a pet shop, but I’d prefer not to. OR I could put in an order for the next clutch she has to be hand reared, but she doesn’t even have a pair in a breeding cage yet, so that would be a while.
What do you think of the 12 month old ones in comparison? What do you think I should do? Any information and opinions appreciated, thank you!
why did my cockatiels eat their chicks?
my cocktails (male and female) lay ed off 4 eggs like 4 weeks ago. they were very protective with the eggs all time. when the first egg hatched they took care of the chick very well, they were feeding it and protecting it every time i wanted to see it. Then they threw out an egg from the nesting box, ok so i thought they figured it out it was death already. So the next days when I tried to see the chick and if a cocktail was out of the nesting box he would go into it quickly they were very protective. Today when I got home i went to see if the other 2 eggs were hatching, but I didn’t hear the chick any more so I saw the nesting box empty and the cocktails were out in the cage and didn’t care any more about me looking at their eggs they were both eating, they never did that only one could go out and then return to take care of the eggs. So I saw the the nesting box and i couldn’t see the chick so i opened the cage and the nesting box. Nothing was there only an egg, so I search the chick everywhere, until I saw it, it was death and incomplete in the nesting box, and now i dont know what to do with the pair of cocktails, they ate and killed their chick, threw an eeg out and left another one there by itself. I don’t like them any more how come they do that. now they don’t care about the egg either. Please someone help me!!!!! i need help from someone that knows about birds. why they did that? they are like screaming like never before help!!!
Seed or pellets?
Okay, whats the big deal about the pellets? I have always feed my parakeets and cockatiels seed. The pet store near here and wal-mart dont sell them.. so whats the big deal about them. My birds have always lived about 5 -6 yrs.
Thinking of getting a Bearded Dragon?
I am thinking of getting a bearded dragon. I have had alot of pets (dogs, cats, birds, rodents…etc.) over the years and am fairly experienced at keeping pets, but I have never had a lizard of any kind. I was told a Beardie was a good first lizard. I need advise on feeding and especially housing. Are crickets better then worms? What is the best housing? I was looking up habitats on petstore sites, but I don’t know what’s better, the aquariums, or the screened cages. It seems like the airflow in the screen cages wouls be better, but I am worried the lizard will damage it and escape, and one reviewer on one site said he had problems with CRICKETS eating the screens! Also, what is more important to the Beardie, floor space to strech out, or head space to climb up (a long enclosure or a high enclosure)? If you know a good website to order good habitats from that would be apreciated! ThanX.
