I love bird feeding

Posts Tagged ‘dont’

like some people say you can use paper but im afraid my birds will eat the paper and choke on it. i dont know of a place to buy one and im afraid that they will lay their egg but it will break or something

how do i look after a wild bird i dont have an incubator but i have made a nest and box and it is kept warm daily, i candled it and ther is sumthink inside it, i have no idea how old the egg is but im going to be really confues wen and if it hatches!!
IM FROM ENGLAND!

she lost alot of feathers, down feathers. Over the weekend my housemate spotted her on the ground (they live in an aviary) sitting in the the rain. all the birds often spend time on the ground, stripping the grass for nesting material and picking up seed so i didn’t give it a second thought.

someone suggested she was egg bound, there is two nesting boxes in the aviary, one already has a bird and her 4eggs in it, the other box seems to be abandoned, as every time i add nesting material too it they pull it out and put it in the other one (so i gave up)

they were treated for worms about 2mths ago.

there was four love birds (3female, one male) and 2 cockatiels (both male) that live in the aviary, its about 3×1.5×2.5m. fairly big, and they have lived in it together since january, before that they all lived in cages (cockatiels in one, two love birds in two separate cages)

any ideas? i just dont want my other birds getting sick.
i’ve never seen them fight, ever, not even over the eggs or boxes

and in the last 24hrs she died, i check them in the mornings and i found her at the bottom of the cage this morning.

My female keeps flying in the tissue box nesting box i made for her and chews it up and throws the leftovers inside the box…Then she goes in for a few minutes…The male comes by and feeds her and this has been going on for about 3 days…I am not sure what is happening…Sometimes the male goes in the nesting box too…I dont know what that means either…When my bird comes out of the nesting box her vent has a small bump beneath it…Does that mean shes about to lay…Can someone please help me with all of these questions! Your help will be appreciated =)

i currently have 11 linnies and they are very cute birds…….anyway i have them out side in a 6 foot breeding cage they re ll very freindly i no i have one pair male and female but i dont no any signs if they have bred or in breeding ……….. i have 4 nest boxes up and they all sleep in one box lol sooo cute to see haha awww… but can some one give some info on signs that they are breeding thankyou …

i tried using food, i tried placing her egg in there and put her in there as well as the father. each bird just panics and runs out. they dont even look at it to explore it. she layed an egg on the floor. sat on it fo r2 days and now just left it there. i tried using a tupperware top with bedding and placed the egg in there but still no attempt to revisit the egg. the egg is a fertile one.

what can i do? i see them mating every day and i put a nesting box in months ago… maybe i should try again but wenever i put something in at the bottom of the cage (like nesting box or bird bath) they’re so terrified of it they dont even go down there! what can i do? i really want to breed them. they’re not tame too so they’re scardy cats — i mean scardy birds XD
