Bird Behavior

it is a place where you keep your pigeons

It is plucking its feathers.I volunteer at a bird center for abused birds and they said the pluck their own feather's as stress relief,usually due to abuse.You may need to have it seen by a vet so he can give you instructions on what to do because I am only a volunteer and I have not been doing that very long.If you need any other help you can email me at: simba02897@yahoo.com just tell me who you are and leave your email!Good luck with your bird!My id hear is simba02897 i just joined!

Canaries do knock eggs out of their nest. This is done sometimes if the bird knows the egg is not thriving. Eggs may be knocked out of nest by predators to the canary bird also.

Breeding season lasts from April to July for the American Robin, and its eggs hatch in about fourteen days. European Robins begin their mating season in March, and their eggs hatch in roughly the same time frame.

yes

Mockingbirds actually do raid other bird's nest, and sometimes kill other birds.

Hens ovulate daily: their eggs. If their eggs are fertile there is a chance of them hatching into chicks, if incubated correctly.

no, just think if you ate your own fecal matter, you wouldn't die

When in doubt, force-feeding is usually the right thing to do

Is she possibly hormonal? A puberty or adult bird will become hormonal and want to mate. Signs of hormonal behaviour are squatting low and lifting bum into the air, squatting down with bum in the air and making chirping sounds or rubbing her vent on perches, toys etc. Rubbing her vent is a form of masturbation and can be quite embarrassing but its normal. However I am new to birds so please get a second opinion as I don't want to mislead you. If you're concerned about your bird or notice a change in her droppings or general behaviour, please speak to a avian veterinarian who can advise you.

Parakeets need toys, a cage, food, perch, ladder, and food and water containers.

Size of 2 peanuts. Parakeets are very low at IQ. Compared to humans,we have about 30 times better intelligence.

if you have only one, all you have to do is whistle around it constantly

please please for the sake of your parakeet do not put a leash on it! Your parakeet will HATE IT.

Yes. They will throw unliked food and empty seed shells on the floor, they whether they were on the couch or on the cage, they will have a mould when most of their feathers fall out, and they do have this very fine dust, that you can see in every single surface. So you will be needing that vacuum-cleaner and a mop ;)

It helps them get warm in the winter.

yes because oatmeal is actually good for their health

Parakeets can have many sicknesses. Recently, my parakeet passed away due to a tumor and trauma when trying to produce an egg. They can also experience egg binding when an egg gets stuck coming out of the cloaca. If their cage is not cleaned, they can get mites that will make them loose their feathers. Parakeets can develop many illnesses if not treated correctly.

If you are asking this, you are probably colony breeding budgies in an aviary I highly advise you stop breeding and research budgies for a few years and then you may start planning. Hens will destroy other pairs eggs for a few different reasons. The hen may want the nesting box for herself to use, so she cleans it out. She may want to breed with the cock so she destroys the pairs eggs. She may just be jealous. Never, ever, ever keep more than one breeding pair in a single breeding box or aviary. I also do not recommend the use of aviaries for breeding. Keeping an uneven amount of hens and cocks in a breeding environment will result in bloody fights.

Are you concerned about how much your bird is eating because of the cost, or because your bird is becoming obese?

If you are concerned because of the cost, I hate to be harsh, but you should have thought of that before you got a pet. Birds have very high metabolisms and eat a lot relative to their body size.

If your bird is becoming obese, there could be several reasons. One is that your bird is not eating nutritionally appropriate food. A plain seed diet is very high in calories but does not have all of the micronutrients that your bird needs. Try offering tiny pieces of fresh fruits and vegetables in addition to seeds or pellets.

Another reason is a metabolic problem. Your bird might be having trouble processing the macronutrients (fat, protein, and carbohydrates) which can make him fat. Birds can also develop diabetes, which can make them obese, but sometimes they develop diabetes because they are obese (humans have the same problem).

Really, only your veterinarian will know for sure. Make sure that your veterinarian is an avian specialist because most mainstream vets don't get much information on bird nutrition and metabolic disorders.

I think this budgie loves his toys too much. Birds usually only throw up food from their crop to feed either their mates or their chicks. Or he may be sick. It sounds as if your budgie thinks it's toys are it's mate, so I think the best thing to do would be to remove them. If your budgie continues this behavior, you might want to take him to the vet's to get him/her checked out.

Males can be very territorial and adding a new bird may just cause friction where one of more will be bullied

of course its like asking "DOES YOUR MOM UNDERSTAND U?"

First you need to bond with your Budgie give them lots of attentionnd and then when you think they are readythen you can do the do the folowing:

1.Train the with target stick

2. Stick some fruit/vegies through their cage

3. grabe them gently , tap their belly or feet

Yes, they can have eggs as soon as the first eggs hatch.
