I love bird feeding

Posts Tagged ‘pets’

They are not tamed. I had the parents but gave them to my boyfriend who has more time for them. The father is a handsome, tame white faced pied and the mother was a white faced but with only a couple grey spots. They sucessfully raised 2 young (I couldn’t hand feed due to time constraints) but I didn’t have the time to “tame” them. I now realized it wasn’t a good idea for me to let them breed if I didn’t have the time to hand-feed them and make them into good pets.
The one is just like the dad and the other is a beautiful white faced pearl (great markings). I don’t their sex. I’ve seen test kits in the back of bird magazines, are they accurate and do they work? If one is a male and the other a female, could they breed or is not good to inbreed birds?
I don’t have time for these guys and I feel bad (although I do have them in a very large, clean cage with plenty of treats and toys and they are in a pitersque bay window) so I think I should sell them. Should I sell them as a pair? What would be a reasonable price for one or both of them? Petshops usually sell them for at least $100 (for the non-common varieties) up to $175 but then again, most of those are still babies and are somewhat tame.
Can mine still be tames at a year old? They hiss at me if I stick my hand in there? Also, they aren’t very vocal. Does this mean they are probably both females? Their dad talks and whistles tunes.
SORRY FOR SO MANY QUESTIONS!
Oh, here’s a link with what they look like:

and the other looks a lot like the white faced pearl in the photo (scroll down a bit):

THANKS GUYS! And I learned my lesson now about breeding irresponsibly, I should have removed the eggs and not put a nest box in there.

Baby birds sometimes fall from their nests, and sometimes are knocked out by storms or other natural causes. If you find a baby bird, here’s how to feed it.

very little military . I´ve had him for 3 years already he was given to me by some one else who loved him she used to hug him, kiss him, pet him, talk sweet to him, but never feed him or gave him watwr.The owner knows we have a dog and 4 cockatiels and 2 cats they are all well feed and well taken care of, so the owner gave us the bird, knowing she couldn´t care for him properly.Here is the PROBLEM the first two years he was ok with us my dad even made him a perch that wouldn´t be above our head, but I will admit we dont like to hold the animals a lot just ocasionally. About a year ago the owner came to visit the bird was happy I gess he would make the pupils of his eyes really small, the old owner was kissing him and all and out of the blue he bit me. Ever since he´s been agressive, we cant even get him out of the cage because he´ll try to atack us he´s also very jelous of the other pets.What can i do to have the old sweet loving bird I used to have

I have two and they are just pets.

We only have two ducks and they aren’t for meat, just pets.

Our birdie Gracie is feeding the dog an apple. She does this all of the time with her food and Sampson, our dog gets the scraps. What a good friendship they have.
