she had an egg like an 1 and a half months ango but no more than one (she had the egg in the petsore were i bought her ) she has a mate and they been feeding and scratching each other 2 my other female bird is guarding the nest box and not letting any other bird in there so is this going to affect the other bird with the egg shaped butt
I have 2 adult cockatiels, one male and one female. They mated and hatched 3 eggs. The mother will continue to sit on all her eggs, and the male will sit on his bunch of eggs, but every time one hatched, the mother pushed the baby out of the nest and won’t care for it no matter what I do. The first one and the third one died, so I’m caring for the second one myself. I have a nest in a box, a heat lamp and I’m feeding it every 1-2 hours with baby bird formula in a tiny dropper. It’s been doing just fine for about 4 days, it’s growing, getting stronger and eating the formula easier. My main concern about it is every time I feed it, it swallows a large amount of air and sits in it’s crop for a little while and makes a large bubble in the crop. It says on the formula container to feed the baby till it’s crop is filled with formula, but it gets half filled with air and half with formula. When it gets filled with air I’m afraid to feed it any more because I don’t know how much it’s little crop can hold. Is this air swallowing thing normal? Should I feed it more when it does that or keep doing what I’m doing? What should I do???
She has eaten watermelon though. Does she get enough water that way? Also, she munches on fruit, veggies and cereal, but wont eat her veggie mix ( a concoction made for the birds in the store). I was told she was still being fed by syringe once a day, but she fights with me when I try to feed her that way. She wants to eat everything out of my hand. I don’t mind, but how do you think she’s doing? Do you think she’ll get enough food that way, and what about the water?
Today, I found a baby bird. I’ve been feeding it chicken mash mixed up with half and half. Is there anything else I can do for it? I also want to know what kind of bird it is. So, are there any good websites anyone knows that can help? Thanks a lot!
Currently it’s sleeping in a sock curled up to look like a nest in a mous cage. Don’t worry! The mice have been gone for some number of years now!
Help… please?
one of the problems is is that I found the poor thing near the place I work. I climbed trees in freakin’ high heals!!!!! I couldn’t find the birds nest. By the way, my work is about 40 minutes away and my brother borrowed my car . (Because I don’t have to work this week!)
The bird isn’t eatin’ chicken! It’s eating chicken MASH. Chicken mash is what my chickens on the farm eat. I took out all the cracked corn, though
I live in the far, far North! Almost near Canada!
I believe it’s a robin
I’ve been feeding the bird every 2 hours. I’ve been giving it a small (pea sized) chunk of watered down bread and two good sized worms. Then, I take an eye dropper and drop water in its mouth. after that it goes to sleep.
I bought two cockatiels a year and a half ago (male & female), they have been going through the motions of mating quite regularly, however i accquired another bird from a neighbor who is an older bird but has lain unfertilized eggs. i kept her from my other two birds for over a month. she has now chosen to move in with the others & they get along fine i bought them a bigger cage . my question is will my male mate with both females? Should I put a nesting box in the cage as my two birds are still mating ? please help!!
Would you marry me if I had eagle claws? I only have one good tooth. I have to keep it in my pocket in a napkin so it don’t get chipped. My left leg has a half peg in it. My hair looks like I got a birds nest in it. I live in a cardboard box under a bridge. I just need love. Who is willing to marry me and where do you want to do this?
Did I mention I also have a glass eye?
No I don’t have electricity. I had to rig some stuff up. I’m really smart. Nobody just doesn’t like me. I don’t know why. They said I look like the Crypt Keeper!
my bird laid an egg. she left it and i thought that she left it because it knows when it making it or not. now, even i could tell it wont make it (half brown, not incubated by her for like a whole week). one day she just decided to just walk in the nesting box and sit on it again!!? WHY!!!!!??
