i am handraising a cockateil what is the best formula to feed him?

Posted on July 2, 2011 by admin| 4 Comments

i was giving him a mix that is white and called handraising mix from the pet shop he didnt seem to be putting on weight then a lady told me (she raises them) that to buy a pellett form as it has all the nutrition in it and soak it in warm water till it becomes a sloppy paste and then give this to him he is doing really well but i was wondering how much should they weigh he is about 4-5 weeks and he weighs about 80grams he is a very happy bird and i would hate to be doing something wrong as he is my baby

I was brought a baby blue jay by a customer. What to feed him?

Posted on April 30, 2011 by admin| 8 Comments

I live in Oklahoma and I work at a pet store and a customer dropped off a baby blue jay and he has down feathers and some bigger feathers on his wings. Since we have Hand-Fed birds I am certified to hand-feed. i have been feeding him store bought baby bird formula and crickets. He has been eating really well and pooping good. He has a neck problem to where he cant keep his head straight but he is able to move it when he has an itch, so I know his neck isn’t broken. I need help to what blue jays eat and how often and how long to be hand-feeding him. If he lives he wont be able to go back into the wild because with all the other problems he is also blind in one eye! I have a dumb bird on my hands please someone give me advice.

what do I feed my newborn cockiteil?

Posted on April 12, 2011 by admin| 6 Comments

The egg hatched last night and the baby looks week this morning. I don’t think the parents are feeding it. I do not have any baby bird formula. Is there anything else I can feed it?
Thank you so much, I did check and there was food in it’s crop. I just panicked, I guess. It has been 48 hours and it is still alive so we are hoping and praying things will go well.

How to encourage budgies to breed?

Posted on November 9, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I have a male and female budgie and they are both bonded and I have all the supplies for breeding such as a nestbox, aspenshavings,and baby bird hand feeding formula. But the birds seem scared of the nesting box and don’t want to go inside. I tried introdusing it slowly by putting it outside of the cage while playing clam music but they don’t look like they are very interested in the box. What should i do to get them intrested in going inside? Also is there anything i can do to get them in the mood? :) Any info would be really helpful thanks!
