Parrotlet Breeding Questions?

Posted on January 25, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I have a female and a male parrotlet, they are in the same cage. They have been “mating” for a while now and i put a nest box in the cage. She stayed in the box all night but theres no eggs. She keeps going in and out of the box and is very aggressive when i even go near her cage. Im positive shes pregnant(whatever you call it for birds) But shes not laying eggs! and shes been all crazy like this for almost a month. When will she lay eggs?

Also, some days she doesn’t even go in the box and other days shes in a lot.

cooking for your bird…recipe’s?

Posted on January 17, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

Ok, my family flock has grown quite big as we are planning on 2 new additions. Zuess is a redwing macaw and Kaida is a triton cockatoo. both will be joining our family next week. Peachy and Cheeky will be the older sisters and they are both cockatiels. They are all on a zupreme pellet diet with a small amount of mixed seed. I know it is going to get very expensive keeping them feed with their fresh vegetables and fruits, etc. So, I’m hoping I can once every 2 weeks or at the beginning of each month precook a batch of food and freeze it for the month. I would like to put together a recipe that ALL of my birds can share. does anyone have a good recipe?
oops I meant zuess is a greenwing macaw lol. But, he is soooo red!! lol

a question for the people with multiple birds?

Posted on January 14, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

i have a male budgie(butterbean).he was young when i got him. he’s almost a year old now.he tamed pretty quick and by now he follows me around the house and can say several words and phases. ive also got a 5 month old green quaker(apple).apple has not been sexed.butterbean really likes apple.apple mostly ignores butterbean. they hang out together sometimes but they do not live together.my question is can i get butterbean (the budgie)a friend?i want to,i think he would like one,but i have several concerns.male or female?i would like to get a female because it might be neat to breed them someday but i don’t want that to be in the real near future so is there any thing i can do to keep them from breeding?like don’t put in a nest box?and if i do that will she become egg-bound?also since i don’t know the sex of apple will he/she be more likely to fight with a male or female new bird?also will butterbean not like me if he has another budgie living with him?will he revert back to just bird noises and quit talking?any helpful advice would be great.thanks.

House-sitting guest …?

Posted on December 31, 2011 by admin| 7 Comments

What is the general rule of etiquette in regards to a friend or family member you want to have house sit for you (1month). Do you reward them monetarily? If so, what is an adequate amount? They would be staying the house full-time and feeding a dog and 2 birds.
