Wild Bird Release, Part 1

Carly brought a bird through the pet door. I kept it in a cage for about 12 hours and *tried* to release it. I’m hoping within a week there will be a part two to this. I *think* this is a “Song Sparrow”. It’s the most common bird coming to my bird feeder in the front yard at the moment. I’ll eventually do a High Definition bird feeder video but so far I’ve not had enough of a variety of birds to warrent a video.

caring for ringneck parakeets questions?

hello, we are thinking of getting a breeding pair of ringneck parakeets to keep in our OUTDOOR aviary. They will be in a part by themselves with no other birds. we would like some questions to be answered please- firstly can they stay outside? are they hardy enough to stay outside during the winter, how cold can they stand it to get? would i need to buy a special nest box for them or would they be ok with a cockatiel nest box to breed in? finally, is there a special parakeet seed mix that i need to feed them or would they be ok with cockatiel feed (plus the fruit and veg they need)? Thank you!
thanks jared, that helped loads- can i just check where are you from because if you’re from USA then your winter is ALOT hotter than ours in the UK. Thanks
