can i change my baby cockatiels’ pine shavings?

Posted on May 12, 2011 by admin| Leave a comment

i have a male and female cockatiels, they have babies for about 2 weeks now. the babies have been inside the nestbox ever since and i occasionally let them out and handle them (without their mom and dad knowing anything). the problem is, the babies have been pooping inside the nest box and their poop is accumulating inside so the nestbox really has a stinky smell and i want to change the pine shaving for hygiene of both the babies and my home. is that ok or would the parents abandon the kids if they noticed that the pine shavings have been changed? i don’t want that to happen because i don’t want to hand-feed the little birds. thank u

I’d like to try hummingbirds also, do they all get along? Watching these little birds, along with my cats sitting below the feeder watching the birds too, is too cute.

have baby parakeets, need info on them please!!?

Posted on August 19, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

my pair of parakeets have mated and the female laid 6 eggs. As of yesterday 3-24-09 the first egg hatched. This morning the 2nd egg hatched. What if any thing do I need to do. The female never would made a nest. We bought nesting hairs and put the box in the cage but she would not have any thing to do with it. So I had to put straw in the nesting box my self. She pushed a lot of it out of the box. The rest is spread out in a circle in the box.The babies are laying on the bottom of the box. Not the straw.Should I put more straw in the box? The cage is small and so is the nesting box. Should I put a bigger box in for a bigger nest? I want to do all that I can to help these little birds. I have enjoyed my bird very much even thow they will not let me touch them. We have had them for 1yr and 1 month. I got them from my nephew. Them raise birds on their back pourch. But they let the birds do all the feeding and raising of the babies.

Urgent! Any suggestions as to what my baby bird is?

Posted on June 28, 2010 by admin| 4 Comments

It has down and almost completely covered by feathers. It is brown, like the color of cardboard boxes, with small black dots over it. Its beak is small and is not curved at the end, rather straight, but not like those little birds. Plus, when it walks it raises its legs. It seems to have the potential to grow into one of those big birds, like an owl.

By the way, I live in south TX, down by the Rio Grande Valley, which is right on the border of the US and Mexico. I hope this info helps. I’d really appreciate it, specially if you have any idea as to what I can feed it.
