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?
I have three sets of keets and I am going to breed them. . I have read allot on info and I recently ran across a guy talking about the fact that he does not and never has used a box. . .I have also heard of keets laying in food dishes, bottom of cages and other random places. . .
my question is
Has any one had a bird that layed eggs in a odd place OR does any one have experience in breeding without a nest box? if so I want to know where they layed and what materials do you use

so where i live we have an eagles nest right behind our house. cool right? but for the fact i have a small dog. also there are hawks to!! 
when im walking her they end up flying low over us and i pick her up ’till they go away. even on a leash its not safe! she uses a doggie litter box instead of going outside, so i just take her out to walk her 1-2 times a day and a few minutes between. what else can i do to keep her safe from these animals? also- how can u tell an eagle nd hawk apart from the ground when they are flying? which bird should i be more concerned about?
miff buster- i want to get a few more ideas[thank u verry much] and a lot of people do u a doggie litter box, sorry that i love my dog! and my smallest dog is only 4pounds and the other is 10pounds. the raptors around here and NOT afraid of people. they stand/perch on peoples houses. turkey vultures will be in the middle of the rode eating and not move when a car passes or almost hits them. eagles and hawks have tried to get my dogs wile they are on a leash!

Our female fischer’s lovebird just laid her first clutch of eggs (we don’t know her exact age, but she can’t be much more than two years old). We aren’t equipped to deal with babies and never wanted to breed them, but aside from that, she and the father are related — in fact, he is HER father. We recently rescued these birds when they were abandoned by a previous owner. The male’s mate (and the female’s mother) died as a result of the conditions they were living in. We separated them as soon as they seemed like they could handle it, precisely because we *didn’t* want any inbreeding, but it was too late.
The eggs are just on the floor of her cage (not on a grate, on paper). She doesn’t have a nesting box. It’s warm in her cage, but not very humid. Is it safe to bet that they won’t hatch anyway? Is there something else I can do? I don’t want to take them away because I don’t want her to keep laying eggs. She was malnourished and although she’s okay now, I’m worried about her health.
While the baby parakeet was still small, I checked up on it and it looked perfectly fine…Except for the fact that it kept its whole body flat on the ground of the nesting box. I thought that this whole thing was just temporary since all the other baby birds could never actually stand up yet.
The baby parakeet now has most of its feathers grown in but hasn’t grown out of the laying flat phase. I feel REALLY sorry for it because it’s basically doing the splits and its legs don’t bend in a way for it to stand up. It has a hard time moving from one place to another because it can’t stand. Is my bird “special” or will it grow out of this? By the way, both of its legs are capable of moving but don’t bend.
