cockatiel rescue?

Hi i’m llooking for a cockatiel rescue. We took a hand feed out of a home because he was just in a cage by himself all day. We’d like to find a better home for him with other birds and someone who would play with him and let him out more. How do bird lovers deal with the fact that you can’t house break a bird?

bird problems?

I have a budgie and a princess of wales parrot but I can’t take care of them any more. All I can do is feed them and clean their cage. I can’t spend time with them cause I’m gone most of the day. (school, duh). Another problem is that I can’t bring them into the house and possums and cats bang on the cage at night. Obviously, I have to give them to someone else, but who? Basically, the question is: What do I do with pet birds when I can’t take care of them any more? I really need good answers. Many thanks for answering!
my location: Westminster, California.

My dog has a serious problem!?

ok well my dog always wanted to go outside so i let her because she always kept barking at the door. But when i let her outside one day i noticed that she was eating bones and stuff. I then saw a dead bird lying on the ground and now i dont know what to do because it looks like my dog was now hurting animals. I know tha it isnt because of hunger because i feed her a lot. What do I do?

are my parakeets(budgies) going to mate?

umm i recently just modified my birds cage and added a nesting box to the side the next day i noticed my birds playing with the box like chewing at the hole and stuff. the day after that i noticed they go inside of it. I had some fluff in their box incase she lays eggs but they took it out will they mate? i live in northern hemisphere and its pretty much spring already my girl budgie and boy budgie are mature enough and when the girl is inside the box i guess the boy would come and share food with her you know when it appears they kiss. so i dont know if they’re going to mate are they?

is the bird a wild bird?

we feed the birds in our back yard every day. there are blue jays, cardinals, humming birds, etc. but there is this bird that has grayish-brown body with a big red mark on top of his head. is that a wild bird or somebody’s pet? is there any wild birds that have a red mark on their head? i live on long island(just to let you know about the location)
