My parakeet keeps biting me!?

Posted on January 23, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

I have a parakeet, I have had him for about 5 months now. He was always the sweetest bird not once did he ever bite me, he hadn’t even tried to bite. But now in this past week he started biting. He will go on my finger eaisly, but then he will start biting my hand. I don’t know if it might be that he just want food, because most of the time I give him millet when he gets on my finger. But I can’t feed him food everytime he goes on my finger. I really would love to know how to get him to stop biting, because he used to be such a good bird and I don’t want him to bite anymore. Please Help!

Provide wet or dry oats to cockatiel parents? The mother still eating bird soil is it ok for baby too?

Posted on January 21, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I just fed my cockatiel parents instand wet oatmeal cereal made by Quakers. Just mixed with hot water. Is this the correct way or should I give it dry and mix with their usual seed mix? As the mother still enjoys eating the soil I add some calcium mix powder with it. Will the babies be ok if the mother feeds them with the soil mix? When I try new food, must I remove the seed mix and soil to force them to eat the new food? What happens if they don’t eat enough to feed the chicks?

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

Do you feed your parrot pellet food?

Posted on January 20, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

I only want pellet answers! I know about diet – fresh food – etc. What I want to know is what type of pellet food do you feed your bird and why? Have you tried other pellet food and what was your birds preference? Mine picks out certain colors, but I was told by the manufacturer that there is no flavor attached to the color and the bird just had a color preference. Do you get your food locally or do you have it shipped? What about expiration dates? Please try to answer all questions. Thank you

How do I keep large black birds away from my bird feeders?

Posted on January 19, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

I have bird feeders in my yard to feed the tiny little birds that fly about, especially this time of year when it’s really cold. The problem I am having is that there are alot of crow / black birds in our area and they are absolutely relentless when it comes to the bird feeders. I really don’t care for these black birds at all. They eat or destroy all the food for the little birds in a short amount of time. Does any one have a sensible solution to this bird problem, besides shooting the black birds. We have plenty of woods and fields for these black birds to hang out in….Not my bird feeders!

Is it ok to feed a hamster assorted bird seed?

Posted on January 16, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

I supplement her diet with nuts, vegetables and fruit (lettuce, celery, grapes, apples) and even some cat food since I’ve read that hamsters are NOT vegetarians. Is all this enough or do I absolutely have to buy hamster food?
