A parakeet that was already pregnant from the petshop? I need help?
Ok is it possible if you got a femal budgie from a petshop that is already pregnant? and say you don’t have a male bird also, you only have 1 parakeet so if the parakeet was already pregnant when you got her will her eggs hatch and the birds be ok or will there have to be a male one to like fertilize the eggs or so,ething or is there a product from the store u can pour on the eggsthe part the male usally does whatever the male does lol so basicly i mean if you buy just a girl parakeet and it is already pregnant will it be able to lay eggs and have them succesfully or do you need a male bird or is there some prooduct to take the males place or do you need nothing except a nesting box and the female will lay succesfully? and if not how do you tell if there pregnant and how do you tell if there pregnant but the eggs are stuck in them and is there a way for her to still llive if the eggs are stuck.
Well I have a couple Q’s please answer thanks!

new born baby birds, they are abandoned!?
I recently took one of the nest on the ground and there were four bird babies inside. I don’t have acess to buy new food in the pet store for them, also i have no cat or dog food. What should I feed them, I have no worms in my house either. Can I feed them chewed rice or someting?
How do i care for this little bird?
My friend and i were going home from a store and we saw a dead baby bird, and then she saw another one we thought it was dead, too, but then it moved. She wanted to just leave it there and let it die, which may have been a good idea, but the other was dead, it was hot out, and flies and bugs were swarming all around it, so i picked it up, and took it home. I have pet birds, but those arent the same as a wild baby bird, and i know it wouldnt be good to give it their type of food. I put it in a nesting box, and in a separate cage and i need to know what to do with it. I dont know if it will survive, it is a large baby bird, and it has most of its feathers, but some are missing around its neck, i think it is getting better feathers. I got some water into it with a plastic syringe, just to keep it hydrated for now.
If anybody has any experience in raising wild baby birds, any info would be appreciated.
Thanks Allie, I think it is about 2-3 weeks old.

Know about hurt baby birds?
Ok, got a wild baby bird that has been mauled a bit. I’m holding it right now, wondering what in the world to feed it. My daughter told me to get baby bird food, but that means I have to drive a few hours because I’m so far away from an open pet store. I need to do something now because I think it’s hungry. Any suggestions?
My 12 year old Lovebird is in dire need of some lifestyle changes; tips?
When I was ten, I bought a pair of lovebirds from the pet store. Beautiful little dears, but naturally they bonded to each other instead of me, and I was too immature at the time for the responsibility anyways.
12 years later, I’m much older and only one bird remains as the male met a terrible fate at the beak of his angry mate (they liked it rough, I guess you could say), and the female is all alone. She’s been relocated to my room, which has nice big windows and she has her own personal alcove with a big cage.
Problem is, she’s a huge seed junkie and has had a nesting box for her whole life. She’s been essentially neglected by the prior caretaker, and I’ve stepped in.
How likely is her health to change if I alter her diet gradually from the dollar store budgie seed she was fed by my mom to quality pellets? How difficult will it be? Will she ever adapt at all, or is she ‘too old for change’ as my mom tries to tell me? Oh, and should I definitely invest in a UV lamp like my niece suggested?
In addition to this, when she sits she’s very puffy, and she often vomits black/white gunk. I’ve no clue what’s up, as I’m the only person who seems to witness this. Also, any tips on teaching her how to play with toys would be great. I’m planning on hand-taming her over the long-term.
Help! I need a formula recipe stat!! D:>?
I found a baby bird today and I attempted to feed him via a sryinge and mushy worms. He ate ok, but I don’t know how many more I’ll be able to find and he needs to eat every 2 hours. Does anyone have a quick formula recipe? There’s no chance of me getting to the store tonight so any help I could get would be awesome. Please help me.
