Breeding Parakeets?

Posted on April 11, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

I have two lovely parakeets. They have been with me now a good 6 months. They were about 6 months old when I bought them. They are a VERY bonded male and female. I keep them in a large cage with as much food and water they could ever want. They have a fuzzy bed big enough for the both to get in as well as a nest box with nesting materials. If they decided to breed when do you think they would? Ive done some research and would be very responsible in dealing with the offspring. Many family members love the birds, so I already have many homes for the future babies. Any tips or suggestions would be great. I do cover the birds at night…and I would also supplement the feed when they do reproduce.
Don’t worry…if they don’t have babies I will keep them as pets. I would never ever get rid of them

ANOTHER COCKATEIL question.,, it’s important.?

Posted on April 10, 2011 by admin| 3 Comments

I have 2 cockateils, one is yellow with orange cheeks, she IS a female. I know she has layed eggs before. But I have recently bought another. I have NO idea is it’s male or female,, it’s only 12 weeks old. it’s grey and white. I have a flight cage.(VERY LARGE) . My question is, should I have a nesting box in the cage at all times? if so I will provide her with the proper nesting tools, such as aspen, or paper. what happens when thers no place to lay eggs? she can’t get to the paper, because of the bottom of the cage is (IS A CAGE) will she just lay them anyway?….will she get sick, if she has eggs in her, and can’t lay them? or will she just NOT have eggs? I’m not into breeding, I just want her to feel comfy in her new home is all. the yellow cockateil,(sunny) was neglected and abused for a VERY long time. and I just want to help her be a happy bird again.
also , are there different species of cockateils?

All three Mocking birds met their demise..The last one lived to two weeks but was no match with a Perigren Falcon..I helped the food chain to say the least..I got attached and named one of them “WoodStock”, I know…More later…*) No copyright infringement intended..

I have just found a baby bird on the side of a path-?

Posted on September 3, 2010 by admin| 5 Comments

I did initially take it home to give it a tiny bit of water as it is a VERY hot day- anyway i took it back for about an hour to see if the mother would come back but when i returned the bird was freezing (it has no feathers but they do look like they are starting to come out). Anyway i have taken it back home and put it in a box with paper towels/grass and some old nest that we found at the bottom of our garden- i have been feeding it every 20 mins since with mushed up dog food and the occasional bit of water- the bird definately seems to have perked up and has begun moving it head more and twitching and the last time i fed it it even made some noises- is there anything else i can do to make sure the bird has the best chances? i have read up on it but i just want to know if there is any more info? thanks x
- will it become dependent on me as its mother as i will be leaving home in a month – is this too soon?
