Purchasing/building and indoor aviary for 7 large parrots?

Posted on February 2, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

I am looking to purchase or build an attractive and functional aviary for my 7 birds. I have gone through too many cheap cages and want to finally get something that works. I want them to have space and have it also be functional in terms of cleaning and feeding. Any good suggestions??
One last thing.. There are only 2 sets of them that can be put together, so basically 4 sections are needed. a macaw is the largest and the progress down in size from there to the smalles being two Alexandrines that are caged together.

is something wrong with my parakeets?

Posted on January 30, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

they’re making some noise now but they don’t move a whole lot or play with the toys i gave them. i put in a nesting box but they don’t go in it. this is my first time with parakeets but my family has been raising canaries and some miniature parrots since i was 5, so i’m not a beginner with birds. i don’t buy birds at pet stores so these were from a breeder. she said they’d had babies before and that the female would probably lay eggs soon. they’re better than they were a few days ago but i’m still wondering, am i doing something wrong?

Posted on January 6, 2012 by admin| 5 Comments

I was wondering if it would ne ok to use a cockateil seed mix as a base? This is very readily available in my area. I know that they are small parrots type birds and the fresh fruits and veggies are a must, but I need to know a good seed base food for them.
