Hi other than palm leave can i give hay or what u cal that frm rice crop? I tried with shereded papers but this birds take em al out of the nest and dirty the whole room and empty the nest box. Can i give the coconut hair? Or wot other house hold thngs could be used?
i have a huge palm tree in my back yard and i think there is a nest up there with a hole or somthin, cuz 2 baby birds, possibly a day or two old just fell outta the tree, i put them in a shoe box but i dun no wat to do. im not gonna call animal control or anything like that. so what should i do? please hurry before it gets too dark!!
Is nest building normal? or does it always mean eggs are soon to follow? I have 2 lovebirds, not sure of sex- one definitely female who is the nest builder. I have no desire to breed these birds-what are your suggestions? Let them lay eggs, continue with building the nest and if eggs come – remove them? or, Disrupt behavior, take down fleece hut and separate birds? Do female birds always build nests, even without a male partner? The female is constantly in the fleece hut and the other one is hanging outside the hut, occasionally making a visit. What do these behaviors indicate? The only reason I can see why the behavior changed with the birds is I recently put palm shredder pieces into the cage- no nesting box- no paper towels, nothing different other than the shredders. Would this trigger mating behavior? Or coincidental? It is winter here in Philly, do they breed all year round- I thought spring was the season. Thanks for your help.
