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.

what should i do to keep my birds warm?

Posted on January 18, 2012 by admin| 7 Comments

i have 6 lovebirds(3 pairs) that live in an aviary outside. tnight is suposed to be below freezing and we live in socal so they arnt used to this. so i put in 4 nezt boxes. they arnt hung because its dark and i just wanted to get them in ther. i coverd the doors and sides and half the roof with a table cloth material to block the wind. im scared if it gets any colder im gonna wake up to 6 dead birds. so will they be ok? they all know what to do with nest boxes because they are all breeding birds. or should i, against my parents wishes, pull them and put them in a cage in the unused(for cars) bay of the garage. it is really cold and windy..

How to get rid of fleas in my Bird Aviary without killing birds?

Posted on January 8, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

My puppy snuck in the room for a very short time and the fleas showed up later. The aviary is in the house and we have eradicated the rest of the house pretty well but I have been afraid to bomb the aviary even if I remove the birds and air it out. I have used borax and salt, vacuumed and sprayed the birds with mite spray(for birds and has same stuff in smaller dose as flea sprays) used a steam cleaner on cages. And they are still jumping on me when I walk into the room. I am not sure if they are actually on the birds and am worried about their nest boxes. I took all the boxes outside except the one that were in the process of being used by the birds. ( I have 8 love birds and 25 cocktails ) So I set up a trap with the lamp and the soap in a dish.
What else can i do that will not harm my birds?

Breeding cages or nest boxes in flight area ?

Posted on January 3, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

Can anyone advise me on which is best,
1) nest boxes in the flight area allowing my 2 sets of birds to just have a “free for all” attitude or
2) put them 2 sets into their own private breeding cage and let them get on with it.
I have had 2 answers from bird loving friends but one said colony breeding with nest boxes and the other said hand picked certain birds in private quarters. I am so confused now HELP…
