Bird Health
Heedful management and feeding of birds assure that sickness is prevented. However, there are times when illness is unavoidable. Set apart the sick bird from its colleagues and the prompt supply of heat is the best available treatment.

What does the poem caged bird mean?
"Caged Bird" is a poem by Maya Angelou that represents many ideas, themes, and thoughts, so it doesn't necessarily have just one meaning. This poem states that there are two birds, one trapped in a cage, and the other in free and flying in the sky. The trapped bird represents an African American man or woman, while the free bird represents a white man or woman. The poem is portraying the relationship between an African American person and a Caucasian person (AKA: segregation). Maya Angelou is explaining the feelings of racial discrimination, segregation, and domination. The poem describes how she was the bird that was trapped and tied up and unable to reach freedom. The caged bird can be interpreted as the black race being held back from freedom by their skin color. The fat worms and breeze in the poem symbolize hope and opportunity. In the poem, it is constantly repeated that "his wings are clipped and his feet are tied so he opens his throat to sing." This is implying that even though this bird is trapped, it still has hope. The bird will continue to persevere and not give up. It sings about the hope of things to come, not necessarily of happiness.
Time from chicks pipping to hatching?
Once the first holes appear in the first egg, you will see your first chick emerge within 24 hours. Rates vary but eggs started all at the same time all will hatch within a day of each other. The emergent chicks have different stamina and some will take longer to complete the task than others.
What are the 3 most important things to know about caring for birds?
Off the top of my head, these are the three that i thought of. Feel free to contribute!
Space- Make sure that the area you are going to keep your bird is big enough. A parrot requires more space than a parakeet, for example. The cage also needs to be big enough, too. Make sure your bird can move around! If you are getting multiple birds, plan accordingly.
Time- Taking care of any animal requires some time. If you want a realtionship with your bird, you need to take a little time to play with it or have interaction of some kind. Birds can do alright by themselves for a little while, but they still need a companion. If you are not going to be around a lot, i would recommend getting two.
Cleanliness- A lot of bird sicknesses can happen because of a dirty environment. I'm not saying that you have to have perfectly clean room all of the time, but make sure that you keep the bird cage clean. Food and water should be cleaned everyday and the cage should be cleaned regularly.
I hope this helps!
How long does it take for a parakeet to lay her eggs?
Well, Parakeets breed in the beginning of Spring and Fall. As an example, I'm going to use Fall. On the first day of Fall (September 23 *2010*), would be the best time to put in the nest box. Maybe even earlier. Then, you should waite about an exact month. (My Parakeets mated after an exact month). Which would be October 23. Around those days---October 22,23,24--- your Parakeets should mate. You should at least waite a week (Example: October 22-29). <<< If you don't see your Parakeets mate within these days, they probably don't want to, or their not ready to breed yet. Your Parakeets should mate for a few days till their done mating. After their done mating, about 10 days later, her eggs should start to appear. Now, all you have to do, is sit back, and watch little, young, beautiful Parakeets grow up to be amazing pets! :D :D :D
Cockatail What if youre bird did not mate and it had a egg?
It's perfectly normal. Many types of female birds lay infertile eggs, eggs laid when there is no male around to mate with.
Do birds cause health problems to humans for example are they dusty and effect your breathing etc.?
Some people have allergic reactions to birds with high dander. The majority of birds do not have a high amount of dander. Ones that do include cockatoos, cockatiels, and African greys.
You need to get your bird to a avian veterinarian now. This is very serious and sounds like egg binding which is a extremely serious condition in birds and is often fatal if not treated asap. Good luck.
Do budgies cause health problems to humans?
If infected Budgies/parakeets can transmit Psittacosis to humans. The symptoms are flu-like and generally only an issue with infants, elderly or those with compromised immune systems.
A major chain of pet stores in the U.S. had to suspend sales of all birds for 45 days due to a supplier having a problem with Psittacosis. It is treatable with a course of antibiotics.
