So my I have been waiting for the parakeet egg to hatch and it finally did today when I discovered it hatch just like 30 min ago.So I saw the mother was liking kissing or doing something to the chick mouth with her own mouth is like kissing.And the newborn parakeet mouth seems to be very gooey and slimy.Yes the bird is kept warm in a nest box.And its my 1st time too.I dont want to hand fed it.Help PLEASE!
The bird has a white feathers.But i forgot what is the name of that bird.
I origanally bought for parakeets, two boys and two girls. At least thats what i thought. Now a little less than a year later the two who I thought were grls started interaacting more. the one’spiece of skin above the beak was pink and the other one’s has always been a rough, crusty tanish coulor. Now a couple aof days ago the one with the pink beak’s beak has started to turn a blueish coulor and the one with the crusty tan beak is starting to get a round belly about the size of half of a chicken egg rght above her legs and she is really lazy and just eats and drinks unless she’s with the other bird then she’s happy. They do a lot of mouth to mouth but im not shure if they’re feeding each other. I want to add on to the cage and make it even bigger than it is now and put a nesting box in that, but im not sure what to do, i hope that someone out there can give me few answers and tips. Thank you. An if you can send me anything that can help me with this my e-mail is tbone1995mb@gmail.com

I’m so weird, I save all little things, such as insects, small birds that I feed with my mouth and I want to pick –up all street animals. My dream is, to live on a farm and have lots and lots of animals, pigs, ducks, horses, sheep, cows and chickens and much more! I have the greatest respect for plants! So weird! I even save ants…
i was out for a walk and i came across a baby robin looking up at me and opening it’s mouth. after being sure that the nest was nowhere to be found, i took it home. i have it in a shoe box lined with a towel, the bottom of which is covered with a thick layer of grass. my dad picked up some night crawlers that would generally be used as fishing bait and it readily ate almost a whole one. it is now asleep and seems to be breathing heavily. its entire body moves when it breathes, but i’m not sure if this is normal in young birds. it has almost all of it’s feathers, so i’m not sure in what range of age it falls into.
anything you know is greatly appreciated.
thanks [:
the bird is definitely a nestling. i forgot to mention that when i found it, there was another bird of the same size just a few feet away.. dead.
the bird is doing marvelously. it is eating and pooping regularly. it hobbles around in its box every now and then, but mostly sleeps. now it is in my room which i am keeping warmer than usual. i have the box on top of a heating pad which i have on the medium setting. it isn't very effective, but i dont want to put it up too high for fear of burning the bird. i have been feeding it night crawlers [cut up] along with moist dog food mixed with hard boiled egg yolk as i read that this was ideal on several different sites.
things are looking up [:

heeeey [: we found the bird sunday, and it is now tuesday. he is doing excellent. he’s started hopping around and flapping like crazy. i think he’s just about ready to go. unfortunately, i’ve grown very attached. i’ve named him Sid.

I am trying to wean a baby mockingbird that I found a few weeks ago.I’m feeding it baby bird formula and bugs. I would like for it not to depend on me to sick something in it mouth for every meal,and eat on its own.
