Bird Behavior

seriously, go buy a surf board, live in a van and work at a coffee shop,

AKA. get a life.

Catching a budgie that has escaped can be tricky, but here are some tips: 1. Make sure that your windows and exterior doors are closed. Trying to find a lost bird in your house is hard enough, but trying to find a lost bird outside can be heartbreaking. 2. Close all the doors inside the house, including closet and cabinet doors. Check inside closets and cabinets before closing the door. That will keep the bird from going from room to room and making the search more difficult. Open and close doors carefully as you search from room to room. 3. Look up. Budgies feel safer on high perches. Your budgie may be on top of curtain rods, bookshelves, or door frames. 4. Turn off as many things as you can that make noise. Your budgie will probably chirp or squawk occasionally and you can follow the sounds.

keep a close eye on your new born budgies and the heat in the area they are kept and keeping them warm at night if possible. The mother and father will feed them , but if the mother dies you may have to feed them yourself by buying a feeding mixture from your local pet store vet.

when your baby's have there first feathers then you can take them out and rear them if selling or just to get used to you as i did with my first clutch and now the parents are having more

i hope this gives you an idea on what to do

Budgie seed mix typically contains a variety of seeds that cater to the dietary needs of budgerigars, including millet, canary seed, oats, and sometimes safflower and sunflower seeds. Some mixes may also include pellets or fortified seeds for added nutrition. It's important to ensure that the mix provides a balanced diet, supplemented with fresh fruits and vegetables for optimal health. Additionally, some mixes may contain herbs or other additions for variety and enrichment.

They are affected cause when the season's change they can't handle the cold or the heat so they fly south for winter or hibernate! :)

My ring-neck dove would lay an egg probably every 2 weeks if the egg was removed. This can cause a calcium deficiency if they continuously are laying eggs. I read online to place a small wooden egg in the nest for her to sit on to keep from laying her own- it worked.

geese bite to keep babys safe also if they feel threatend

(Addition) you've also got to look at the way geese normally behave amongst themselves. Not all bites are intended as an attack. Geese have no hands, and therefore often have to use their mouths the way we use our hands. there are "friendship" nips among geese, and sometimes these geese will give you a playful little nip as well, out of friendship.

Ask youself if the bite really hurt. If a goose wants to hurt you by biting you, it surely can and it will be very painfull. If on the other hand the bite didn't hurt, (perhaps it just startled you) then I assure you that the bite is not intended to hurt.

Parakeets can be in airconditioning as long as its above 73 and its not directly under any open vents.

A health parakeet will have shiny feathers, clear eyes, shiny beak, and a cere that is free of drainage. A fluffed parakeet that sits at the bottom of the cage is very sick and needs attention immediately.

It will depend if it is a baby or not. A hatchling will start to get feather pins in a couple days after hatching. It will be fully feathered in about a month. If your parakeet has molted, I recommend buying a molting suppliment or molting diet seeds, it is a very stressful time for a bird. These molted feathers will grow back in depending on how well the bird is taken care of and the size of the feather growing in. My quaker lost his tail feathers and it took about a month for them to start sprouting back out. If it is a non-flight feather or down feather it should grown in quite quickly.

Before their species respective breeding season. In some areas and for some species, that is spring. In Pennsylvania, Great Horned Owls have built and are on eggs in January. In the south, there are species that breed throughout the year.

Discouraging birds from building nests on a porch can include constant removal of any nests. A very effective method is putting cat food on the porch. A stray will be attracted which is a natural deterrent of birds. Another possible solution is inserting a v shaped railed over any flat surface to eliminate a plane for nesting.

Yes. A male and a female cockatiel would be best to share a cage. If you put two males or two females together, they may fight. You don't have to worry about a male and a female breeding if they are in the same cage. Cockatiels won't breed unless there is a nesting box attached to the cage.

Small cats, snakes, and other birds are the chief predators.

Do you know if your budgie is a male or female? Females are generally much more quieter than males, however if your bird is very social and talkative and suddenly he/she has stopped for the past few days, I'd take them into the vet, he could be ill.

Good luck!

It's from it's natural adaptations.

He cant find his nuts!

It has to do with seeing themselves on the other side

Budgies like mirrors, I guess? When a budgie licks its mirror [especially while fluffing up its feathers, and/or seeming to almost purr] it probably considers its reflection another budgie, and so tries to preen it. I'm mostly guessing, though. My parakeet licks her mirror too. Answear- I think it is because they admire themselves

I'm not sure, but I think it is because they think their reflection is another bird. With budgies (and other birds), they normally preen their mates and also regurgitate food to them. Maybe when they lick the mirror, they are doing one of the two thinking the mirror is its mate.

my budgie is female.

its better to get a male because they're more friendly and they are more likely to talk.

To tell them apart older males have dark blue ceres and females have pinkish brown ceres

young males have light purplish ceres and young females have light blue ceres with white rings around the flares(nostrils)

There are several different species of conure, all of which have different natural ranges. In general, conure species can be found living wild from Mexico down to the southern regions of South America. There used to be a conure species native to the United States, called the Carolina Parakeet, but it was hunted to extinction in the early 20th century. At the moment, there are feral (the descendants of escaped pet birds) conure colonies living in many cities in the United States and even some of the southern parts of Canada. The book and documentary film "The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill" tells about a feral conure colony in San Francisco.

the same reson we stand on two feet; It's more comfortable this way.

It depends on many factors. Is the cage large enough (i.e. is it an aviary?)? Is the climate temperate? Is the area sheltered from inclement weather and wind? Is there enough shade? Many factors must be considered before making the decision to house a bird outdoors, and one must always remember that parrots, especially very intelligent species such as African Grays, require a great deal of socialization to be happy. They should have plenty of time outside their cages every day and plenty of opportunities to interact with their family.

Birds don't lie down when they rest, so they spend most of their time standing. They will tuck up one leg to give it a break, and usually switch to the other leg after a while. Tucking up one leg serves the same purpose as a person sitting down on a chair to rest, birds just have to do it one leg at a time.

Birds are quite muscular. If you have ever eaten chicken, that meat is muscle.

They are simply showing affection to each other, its like kids holding hands. It just means they are getting along ok.
