Where can you get a pet duck?

You can get a pet duck from a animal/pet feed store. (Not petsmart) You buy a pet duck as a baby but they grow really fast! If you want to get a pet duck for the first time then get one White Peccon duck and have it a boy because i find boys more nice. They are between 3-5 dollars each.

What is the best place for a bird box in a garden?

Anywhere that works. Different birds have different preferences about height, direction, whether it's near to trees etc. Direction is quite important because of prevailing weather conditions such as sun and wind direction (and rain direction). North facing may be better than South facing. If it doesn't work one year, try somewhere else the next year.

How am i supposed to introduce a 5 year old conure to a new amazon parrot?

It would be hard to keep a conure and an amazon together even if they were young and raised together. If they are not in the same cage, it really isn't a problem. They may try to out talk or scream each other, but I would expect that to settle down after a while. If the cage was big enough so that they each had their own space they might get along, but there would still be fights.

How can you teach your budgie to not be scared of you and sit on your finger?

Taming a parakeet takes some time. Before you can get them to sit on your finger you have to help them to not be afraid of your hand. I would suggest a few times a day putting your hand in the cage, close to them, but not too close if they bite. Eventually they will realize that you are not going to hurt them, and will become used to your hand. Also when you feed your budgie don't take the seed dish out of the cage, except when you are emptying it. They will learn that your hand brings food as well. Once they are used to your hand, talking in a soft voice with your finger just in front of the belly say up and lightly push your finger on their stomach. If they do it then praise them, if they try to bite, use a firm voice and say no, remove your hand and try again a little later. They love the attention and when you talk firm and then leave them alone enough they will learn that what they are doing is wrong. They can understand the tones of your voice. They are part of the parrot family and are very intelligent, it just takes time, everyday to tame your budgie. Once the will get on your finger a few times and you are able to take them out of the cage, that is if you keep their wings clipped so they don't fly into something and hurt themselves, put them on your finger and use both hands right index finger, then left, then right as if they are climbing a ladder they will learn when you place your finger on their tummy you want them up. I once heard that because hands are large it is intimidating to them unless you slowly introduce them to your hand. Best of luck to you.

Will cockatiel that are siblings mate if in same cage?

They might. Cockatiels don't have taboos like humans do, and they don't understand why inbreeding is bad. They just have their natural breeding impulses and will act on them with other birds, even if they are related, the same sex, or even different species. It's best to keep them in separate cages and always supervise them when they are out playing.

What causes a lovebird to have stroke like symptoms?

Lovebirds have nervous systems just like people do. It's possible for a bird to have a stroke or a brain tumor, which can cause neurological symptoms. Being sick can also cause a bird to act strangely. Only your veterinarian can make an accurate diagnosis.
