Are my lovebirds getting ready for eggs?

Posted on February 5, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

My lovebirds have started to spend alot of time in their nest boxes, with the male mostly peeking his head out or standing on the perch just outisde. i havent seen them prepare a nest, and there is nothing in the box, so i wouldnt think they are. It has started getting hot here (im in qatar, mideast) so maybe they just want shade? i usually leave them outside to communicate with other bird types, they love it. but now they are just staying inside the box. even when i take them in at sunset, they still stay in the box. whats happening?
ive actually just seen them jump out and start chirping, i know its at the other birds, but now theyve went back in.

Why is my MALE lovebird being mean to the female?

Posted on January 29, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

I have two lovebirds. My male lovebird keeps on being mean to the female. Shaire (female) keeps on trying to go get food and Sunny (male) wont let her eat. he will start squawking at her and will peck at her or knock her off, and he will do the whole bow his head down and bring it UP saying that its his spot.
I am getting worried because i didn’t no that they do this.
Also i have a happy hut thing, and the birds wont get in it, how come?
Plus, i have a nesting box and both Sunny and Shaire wont touch it. I don’t know why. should it not be on the ground of the cage? Should i pin it up higher? and what should i put in it?

Will baby cockatiel starve or is he ok?

Posted on January 29, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

ok, so I have a momma and baby cockatiel. The baby is fully feathered, except for his head (looks like a vulture with yellow mohawk feathers on his head an orange cheeks!) anyhow, he walks around good and all, but the momma started laying infertile eggs (no mate) and I think she threw him out of the nest. I saw him eating a little bit, but I am scared he will die. I didn’t write down his hatch date, but I would say he is close to 2 months old, He was the only survivor of 5 and I would hate to see him die now. Do they eat less at that age? (he “gets out” of the box since yesterday but doesn’t know how to get back in, so I put him back)Since it seems he knows how to eat and I offer bread, seed and veggies, is that enough? Can he starve? Should I remove the infertile eggs to see if momma bird will tend to her baby again? What should I do?

we feed the birds in our back yard every day. there are blue jays, cardinals, humming birds, etc. but there is this bird that has grayish-brown body with a big red mark on top of his head. is that a wild bird or somebody’s pet? is there any wild birds that have a red mark on their head? i live on long island(just to let you know about the location)

Is my bird dying? She is sitting oddly on her eggs.?

Posted on January 4, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

My lovebird layed 3 eggs. she does not have a mate or a nest box. She is sitting on the eggs with her head on floor of the cage, her wings slightly unfurled and her butt slightly raised. She did not do this the last time she laid eggs. Should I take the eggs out? IS she eggbound?

parakeet breeding question!?

Posted on December 31, 2011 by admin| 1 Comment

My two parakeets are spending A LOT of time in their nesting box. When they do come out, they usually stay right in front of it and don’t move. And, they both go in there together. Sometimes the female will poke her head out of the box and then go back in. If one bird goes out, the other one stays in the nest box, and if the other doesn’t come back in, then it will eventually come out. This has been going on for a few days now, and I’m wondering what’s going on in there. Why are they in there together? If there were eggs, wouldn’t the female be laying on them by herself in the nest box? I don’t know for sure if there are eggs, I haven’t seen them actually mate, but I see all the signs of the mating process. I.e. – feeding, preening, all that. They never leave each others side. I’m just wondering why they are in there together. Also, can the male lay on the eggs too? I know I just asked a lot of questions, but I’m just curious. I don’t want to check on the eggs because I’m scared I will scare them away from the nest.
