Bird Health

The most common pet bird with the shortest lifespan is the finch and canary.

Finches and canaries live on average for three to six years. There have been rare cases of them living up to 10 years with amazing (expensive) care.

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!

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.

I have a Makawao and he has,no pooped in 3 days.what cn I do?

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.

Well just a while ago I saw a robin that was dying and the blood was purple. I think it depends on what type though!

The budgie male will try and hop on the females back.

Quails most often get diarrhea due to an infection or poor living conditions and food. If one has a quail with diarrhea it is indeed sick. One can help stop this condition by providing the bird with adequate food, plenty of water to avoid dehydration, and a clean and sterile living environment. The mentioned aids are the best way one can help the sick quail.

The area of the beak that has a hole in it is called the interramal region. The area is needed to give the tongue a space to connect.

In order to answer this question properly one needs to know more specifics about the particular bird. In a young bird, perhaps disease brought home from a pet shop could be a culprit. If the bird is a bit older it could be related to diet. Parakeets fed only seeds develop are susceptible to developing tumors and those often are the cause of death in a bird around the age of two. Perhaps the use of non-stick pots and pans in the kitchen, candles, cleaning agents, sprays could all be suspect. A gas leak of some kind possibly.

Birds seldom die suddenly, in the wild a sick bird will be targeted by predators or by the flock, so birds will hide signs of illness until it is to late.

no plain and simpil no

First, you should never pick up a wild animal without adult supervision. Skunks like other animals can transmit diseases (like rabies).

If you are going to pick up a skunk, any skunk, you can do so without getting sprayed if you can keep them from putting pressure on their back legs. Skunks must 'set' their back legs to spray from their scent glands. Depending on how old the baby is, it may or may not be able to spray anyhow. The mother certainly would be able to however, and as spraying is a skunk's defense when they feel threatened, you would probably have back luck trying to grab an adult skunk.

Yes but only for a shot period of time, cockatiel food doesn't have the right kinds of nutrition a parakeet needs to function, also its much bigger and harder for the parakeet to eat it so it might cause weakness and lack of food to the parakeet, hope this is helpful to you!

Birds don't really get pregnant in the typical sense of the term. Female birds periodically produce eggs. We eat chicken eggs, for example. Eggs can be produced even if the bird has not mated. The eggs will be unfertilized, and will not contain a chick.

Birds have the instinct to nest when they lay eggs, even if they are not fertilized. If your pet bird lays an egg, the egg should be removed so the bird will not become attached to it and attempt to incubate an unfertilized egg.

If a bird is producing an egg and about to lay one, the bird will usually spend time on the ground or the bottom of the cage, and perhaps back up against the cage wall to lay the egg. She may seem lethargic or tired, and her abdomen may have a bulge in it.

If your bird seems to be trying to lay an egg, and the egg does not come out in an hour or so, take it to the vet immediately. The bird can die if the egg does not come out.

Because in the wild, any sick or injured bird will be attacked by others in the flock. A sick bird will act normal for as long as it can so you don't notice it until it is too late. It seems like they die suddenly but they may have been sick for a long time.

my first action would be take it to the vet and do what they tell you

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

Most ducks will stay on the nest and incubate their eggs for 27 days. They will not start incubating until the last egg has been laid, usually laying one egg per day.

Haha yes. It's called molting. They do it often so they can get new feathers. ALL birds do it. Have a nice day!

Get a bird cage to put it in and put something on the bottom of the cage like news paper then give it a water dish. if its a baby song sparrow try to buy it some bird formula at a local pet shop. If it is hurt it is best to get it to a vet right away

Hoped this helped!

Baby sparrows are to be feed by strictly insect diet. All of them requires high protein consumption and less fluid. Never feed them with liquid directly into the mouth for it may cause them pneumonia.

== == I dont no a lot about this subject . but i do know that some birds do. but it depends on the type of bird :D GEORGE
Yes. Some birds regurgitate to feed their young. And yes, I imagine geese and ducks could vomit if something was stuck in their throat. I have never seen one do this. I have, however, seen a Canada Goose sneeze.

Baby robins need to eat every 10-20 minutes from dawn to dusk, with a 2-3 hour break around midday. Feed them bits of sweet fruits like melon, apple, berries, etc. You can also give them bits of grain bread soaked in clean water.

Do not feed wet cat/dog food as this very easily clogs the breathing holes on the inside of the beak.

I recommend a pair of fine tipped tweezers and very carefully dropping each bit into the open beak. The bird should have a bowel movement each or every other feeding.
