What materials do you need so your parakeet can lay eggs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Loads. But most are inexpensive. For starters, a cage. If there's only one parakeet, then a fairly small one. Some perches toward the top for (s)he to play on, maybe a swing, toys, etc. dry seeds you can buy at a pet store, and get a water bottle, leave it out for a night, and use THAT water to feed your keet. Make sure you put the seeds and water in open bowls that you buy, not closed. Rather than eat out of not open bowls, like dispensers or something, keets have been know to starve themselves. There are other, some optional, nutritious things you may add, that you should ask someone at a petstore at.

Why does your parakeet sleep all the time?

You might think they are asleep all the time but they are not. They are nocturnal which means they sleep in the day and are awake at night. Rarely you should see them awake in the day time.

What fruit do finches eat?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Nearly any organic fruits. Just make sure that fruit should only take about 25% of a finches diet. Because they need the nutrients that comes from birdseed. Also it may be a good idea to give your finch brightly colored foods to catch its eye!

How do you know if your budgie has broken its legs?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

put flour on the bleeding spot!!:)

Flour might work, but many bird books recommend keeping a coagulating agent on hand. Birds can get a "blood feather" which is a malformed feather that doesn't mature. The blood vessel stays open. Blood feathers have to be pulled, then you use a clotting agent if necessary. Google "blood feather" for more complete information.

How do you euthanize a snake?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are three accepted methods - chemical (barbituate overdose), chemical (carbon dioxide), and projectile (firearm). The only one you could possibly perform properly at home would be the firearm method, and this only if you have a good knowledge of firearms, have the proper caliber of firearm and grain of bullet, know exactly where to place the shot (between the eyes isn't it, and neither is through the hear), and can make the shot correctly on the first attempt.

Because euthanasia via firearm is technically difficult to accomplish properly without extensive training and preparation, most owners elect to have a veterinarian use the chemical (barbituate overdose) option. This is the "pink sauce" or injectable euthanasia solution that is given in a single bolus directly into the vein; the barbituate anesthetizes the animal then stops the heart, resulting in a painless slide into death. Because the barbituate is a controlled drug under US law, only a veterinarian can acquire the drug and authorize its administration; generally the veterinarian is the one to actually inject the drug.

In shelter situations, carbon dioxide can be used, although this is falling out of favor and use due to pressure from animal rights and humane organizations. In this situation, lab-grade concentrations of carbon dioxide are introduced into an air-tight chamber holding the dog; the high concentrations anesthetize then euthanize the dog. However, the transition isn't as smooth as what you typically see with a barbituate injection.

Sadly, if it cannot walk or fly, the vet might recommend euthanasia. However, if the bird is not in obvious pain, you might be able to have it treated.

How do vulture breathe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Like all birds, vultures have a respiratory system composed of lungs (functionally similar to what humans have, although the structure is very different) and a system of air sacs that allows additional oxygen absorption. Vultures inhale to draw in fresh oxygen-rich air and exhale to get rid of carbon dioxide-rich air.

How do you heal a sick parakeet?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Take him or her to a vet immediately. Do not use antibiotics for sale at pet stores; you have no way of knowing if the problem is caused by a respiratory or digestive infection, liver disease, or one of any number of avian diseases, each requiring different treatment. Take your bird to a vet! Until you get them their, keep them warm, possibly putting a light on the cage or a heating pad underneath half the cage. By keeping them warm their bodies can use calories to fight off disease rather than regulating body heat. Offer them millet, its easy to digest and be sure to put a shallow dish of water on the bottom of the cage in case they are not up to perching.

Best of Luck!

Can pet finches eat fruit?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The parents will feed them. The parents eat the seeds and chew them. They spit it out and give it to the babies. Do not worry about them, just give a little bit more seeds so that the parents have enough food.

The best option is to allow the mother to take care of the baby.If the mother will not take care of the baby parakeet then you will have to feed it using a dropper which you can get from petsmart and also get special food to feed the baby also from petsmart .Also be sure to keep it safe from dangerous stuff and only keep it in the nesting box.
