when is it the right time to take parakeets out of thier nesting box?
Is it ok to pick a baby parakeet up when its still in the nesting box?Like when its 3 weeks old?i want to pick them up to tame them so can i pick up a baby when its 3 weeks old without the mother getting mad?If i do will she smell my scent and not feed it like wild birds do?

is the bird a wild bird?
we feed the birds in our back yard every day. there are blue jays, cardinals, humming birds, etc. but there is this bird that has grayish-brown body with a big red mark on top of his head. is that a wild bird or somebody’s pet? is there any wild birds that have a red mark on their head? i live on long island(just to let you know about the location)

any precautions when feeding the wild birds, because of bird flu?
I enjoy feeding the wild birds especially during the winter. Staying warm and finding food is probably not easy for them. Are there any precautions I need to take because of the bird flu other than washing my hands?

Traditions or habits picked up from your parents?
I’m happy to say that I have picked up a few traditions/habits from my Dad who passed away 3 years ago. He always made sure we had a good Christmas; he always made sure to feed the wild birds in the wintertime and pre-warms his coffee mug before pouring coffee in it…. A bit quirky, but I like it. How about you?

Do you think certain people are born with an inherent affinity for animals and nature?
I have a natural repoire with animals, certain kinds in particular.. I feel I was born this way and those who know me have noticed and think the same…. It is especially strong with cats, dogs and wild birds… It’s wierd, like I can make them trust me instantly… I think it is the strongest with wild birds, they are utterly fascinating to me and I have been able to walk right up to a wild chickadee and coax it to perch on my hand, no food, out in the middle of the bush I just walked up and put out my hand, the bird got on and let me stroke its feathers and hold him up to my face to look in his eye before he fluttered off. This kind of thing happens alot to me, and I never feed the birds, but they let me walk right up to them and sometimes touch them and they never act scared, its like they ignore me because they know im not a threat…. Does anyone else have a gift with animals like that?? Do you think people are born that way or is it just personality??
