it is said that sfter 10 days of hatching from the egg you can handfed the chicks… so if you do so will you have to return the chicks in their nest after you feed them of you can separate it from their parents?
and what are some suggestions that you should place in the cage so that the female bird can make its nest? can you put in some of the wood shaving that is for the hamster?
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?
well when i put my hand in the cage now the female squawksss like crazy and i think they are going to breed do i need any materials so they can like build a nest or something and where would i find a nest box i need help please somebody help me out

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!
I’m very worried on how I should go about caring for my baby parakeets when they hatch, the hen is currently nesting her eggs, however in the past she’s laid a batch (1 hatched and died after a single day). I want to avoid the same thing from happening again, and I don’t have the heart to break the eggs like others who don’t want to go through the trouble do. The problem starts when the babies are first born. (about the first week or so) the mother doesn’t really know what to do when the babies hatch, and she just continues to sit there paying no attention to the baby at all. While I’m afraid to touch it since when they first hatch they seem so frail and soft, and I’m not sure if I should. I’ve bought a Nesting box for my hen, some bedding, and baby formula with a Syringe to begin the feeding, such as that I’ve seen on youtube. However I don’t think it’s possible to start feeding the baby birds 1-3 days out of the egg since their mouths are so small. What do birds eat when their 1-6 days old? When should I start hand feeding the birds? Should I take the hen out of the nest after the eggs hatch? How long should it be until I stop hand feeding the babies and introduce them to seeds? If there’s anybody out there who is an expert on baby Parakeets i plea to you, PLEASE help me!!
