Blossoms for the whole summer, and not having to wait 120 days?-Morning Glorys?

Posted on January 23, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I am planning to start my Morning Glorys from seed now vs buying plants in spring. I want to have them blooming early and all summer vs waiting until well into the summer months.

Last yr our deck was such a “happy place” due to the many various birds feeding, bathing, and I think maybe stopping by to visit!! All this was from the security felt due to the coverage the birds had and not having the deck as a wide open space.

My plant zone(s) is 4-5. To the best of anyone’s knowledge, is there any reason why this would not be successful? I plan on transpanting them to the container which they will be in all summer out on the deck, as well as the necessities for them to start climbing inside until it is safe to put them out re: frost. We keep our temp @ 68 in house but I will have grow lights for them.

I welcome any thoughts and ideas for this.

Provide wet or dry oats to cockatiel parents? The mother still eating bird soil is it ok for baby too?

Posted on January 21, 2012 by admin| 2 Comments

I just fed my cockatiel parents instand wet oatmeal cereal made by Quakers. Just mixed with hot water. Is this the correct way or should I give it dry and mix with their usual seed mix? As the mother still enjoys eating the soil I add some calcium mix powder with it. Will the babies be ok if the mother feeds them with the soil mix? When I try new food, must I remove the seed mix and soil to force them to eat the new food? What happens if they don’t eat enough to feed the chicks?

Is it ok to feed a hamster assorted bird seed?

Posted on January 16, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

I supplement her diet with nuts, vegetables and fruit (lettuce, celery, grapes, apples) and even some cat food since I’ve read that hamsters are NOT vegetarians. Is all this enough or do I absolutely have to buy hamster food?

How do I get my bird to eat bird food and not just seeds ?

Posted on January 16, 2012 by admin| 4 Comments

My bird is a Green Cheeked Conure, about 6 or 7 months old. The people I bought her/him (?) from were feeding it sunflower seeds and wild bird seed.
I bought some bird food (maintenance food that looks like light tan pellets and some fruit maintenance food that looks like fruit and smells like fruit) but Bobby picks thru the food to find the seeds( caused I stupidly mixed all the foods together). I also read somewhere on the net that this kind of bird likes cold. Cold water for a bath and cold temperatures too.
Bobby loves to sit on the window sill of my closed window and when I pick it up it’s feet are very cold. Should this worry me ? Also, does anybody
know if a male or female talks ? Bobby is learning quite a vocabulary and talks it’s head off to get me up in the mornings !!!!! I have read quite a bit on the net but still need some answers……thanks alot for helping me.
