Bird Health

In the late spring and early summer! ;)

Poison is poison!

no they do not because there food is worms and food that they can find outside.So the answer is no they can nit make there own food.This is a fact not a opinion.Just which the birds and think.

Any animal can die if not kept according to its needs. If you have a waxwing, I suggest calling a wildlife rehabilitator near you, who will inform you on what needs to happen

dont get another finch then are you braindead

put the eggs in an incubator

how do you get egg off of plexiglass

If it is edible, there will be a bird somewhere that eats it. The only exception is general plant matter, like grass and such. Mature plant matter consists mostly of cellulose and to be able to eat mainly cellulose, an animal needs to ferment it to make it digestible. Sufficient body-size to allow fermentation is incompatible with flight, so only flightless birds use fermentation, with the exception of the Hoatzin, which is a very poor flyer. Even so, there are no general herbivorous birds equivalent to mammals such as deer, sheep and cattle.

Many birds eat flowers and buds, but these contain quite a bit of nutrient apart from cellulose.

I am not sure where to get fertilized pigeon eggs, but why not look into getting chicken or duck eggs. You can usually get them from a local farmer for free as long as you promise to return the young after they hatch. You are getting the same experience for free, or next to free! And Yes, chicken and duck eggs can hatch in an incubator.

Birds are notorious for trying to hide illness. Your bird could be sick, but he might also be too cold. Cockatiels are native to the dry, hot grasslands of Australia. They don't like being in cold, damp or drafty places. If your bird's cage is normally in an area of your home that's close to a door to the outside that is open and closed a lot, you might want to relocate him to a warmer, less drafty part of your home. Birds that are too cold will try to preserve their body heat by fluffing up and sleeping a lot. If your bird doesn't become more active after warming up, he probably does have a health problem. That's not something that can be diagnosed over the internet. You will have to have him checked out by a qualified avian veterinarian.

They can indeed eat chicken eggs, but it is not as helthy to them as their normal food. Like seeds and vegitables

No. The only birds that have penises are some duck and goose species. Cockatiel reproductive organs are located inside the bird's body. If a male cockatiel has a fleshy lump near or in his cloaca, he may have a tumor. You should consult your avian veterinarian if you see anything unusual on your bird's body.

If you want it to possibly hatch, then you should buy an incutbator or a hen. It is probily not fertile, though

The medication used for treating parasites in a budgie will depend on what kind of parasite the bird has. It's not a good idea for pet owners to try to diagnose and treat the bird themselves. You should always consult an avian veterinarian for diagnosis and treatment. The veterinarian will prescribe appropriate medicine and show you how to give it to your budgie.

Not really; air fresheners can send out chemicals that are irritating to all animals but you have to be extra careful with birds because they have a sensitive respiratory system. One suggestion instead of a off-the-shelf air freshener is to make your own! Take a spray bottle and fill it with water, then mix in a tablespoon or two of vanilla extract. Spray just as you would a normal spray air freshener, its all natural, and will freshen your room in a way that both you and your feathered friend will enjoy! Another option is to take a small bowl of baking soda and mix in some cinnamon and nutmeg. Stir it up with a spoon every couple days and the baking soda will remove bad odors while the cinnamon and nutmeg will provide a nice scent. Throw out and change monthly.

Yes it can my brother put hand sanitizer on my bird and she kept blinking so just get a wet clothe with a bowl of water and wipe it off of her. if she's normally aggressive don't worry she WILL listen because it hurts so much.

it will become stressed because of the sudden loss of his mate. some birds pull out their feathers as a sign of stress. if your bird does die then it would be stress that has caused it. it would be ideal to replace the other bird but remember the new one can be rejected from your recent bird anyway. that's in some cases but not always. just slowly introduce the new bird to your recent one and things should go fine.

Nah, he's having what I call a "flap attack". Caged pet birds don't always get as much exercise for their wings as they would in the wild. They have the instinct, and the energy gets pent up and they have to flap to get it out of their system. Both my cockatiel and my lovebird do this on a daily basis, sometimes more than once a day. It's quite hilarious.

You get an incubator or put it in an unused blanket then put him in a box with holes punched on the top of the box. If you dont do these to it will die.

Zebra finches may appear to have ruffled feathers due to various factors, including temperature regulation, stress, or health issues. In colder environments, they fluff up their feathers to trap air and retain heat. If their feathers are consistently ruffled, it could also indicate discomfort or illness, prompting a need for closer observation or veterinary care. Generally, healthy zebra finches should have smooth and well-groomed plumage.

I cleaned the cage outside with him in it but we are in Florida and it was a warm day , i did not wet the bird dow, i do believe overspray might have dampen him . I was thinking maybe the ac got him sick

Yes. The cream, NOT the ointment.

If you suspect that your budgie has a parasite, you should consult your avian veterinarian. They will test your bird to determine what kind, if any, parasites your bird is carrying and prescribe medicine for it. They should show you how to administer the medication and how to store it between doses. You should not try to guess what is wrong with your bird unless you have veterinary training.

Very young baby birds don't have enough leg strength or co-ordination to stand up for very long.

A bird that's old enough to leave its parents is going to spend most of the rest of its life standing, even when sleeping. In most cases, if a bird is old enough to have left the nest, and you see it lying down, it is probably critically sick or injured and needs medical attention right away.

The reason would be is that there is old food in an old dish. Food and water bowls should be disanfected once/week minimum.
