Bird Maintenance

Maybe................:)

Actually this may vary depending on the kind of bird finch, the eggs hatch in between 12 - 16 days or 3 weeks. The nestlings fledge in 18 - 19 days.

A Zebra finch aviary must be no less thattwenty inches long for two-four, however, having a flock you would need a quite large one about the size of a large closet.

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.

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 leave them be. If you even touch them the mother canary will reject them.

If you prompt them into breeding, then yes, they actually will.

Green Chillies should never be fed to any bird regardless of his origin or ancestry makeup.

They can clean themselves, unless they are excessively dirty. You can get a bird bath from the pet store or a store like WalMart that attaches to the bird cage. If they can't get clean enough, if they are tame enough, you can let a budgie have a bath in the kitchen sink, in shallow water. Do NOT use soap of any kind, unless you find some at a pet store or somewhere that says it is specifically for birds. Human soaps will hurt them.

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.

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.

There are hundreds of varieties of parrots around the world, and they can be found in all habitats except for the Arctic and Antarctic. Parrots are found in tropical rainforests, temperate rainforests, deserts (in Australia), grasslands, sub-alpine areas, open forest, closed forest, wet and dry sclerophyll, suburban backyards, and so on. They are found in warmer climates.

Bird habitats are usually in many places such as rain forests or usually there nearly found in a tree in your community but they are found in the wild too and in many other places around the world!

When birds lay eggs they usually sit on them and keep them warm. Just like when a human is pregnant, our baby stays warm inside our body. If we freeze to death outside, our baby would die. If the eggs aren't kept at the temperature of the parents they wont be warm enough and they baby birds will not grow inside.

you can but they may fight and seriously injure each other or one may be picked on by the other some more serious results of bullying are broken jaws and the bullied finch may pluck its feathers out ect. i would advise housing two females instead although they may not look as good they will get along better than two malezs

I have two male zebra finches that have been together for a long time and they are best friends. They occasionally fight, but they make up quickly and they have neever hurt each other.

Check for embryos by candeling them(placing a light on the egg) and if they are still alive incubate them.

A sanctuary is the most holy part of a religious building such as a church or temple, and in times past, people being hunted could claim safety there from arrest or killing. Likewise, a bird sanctuary is a place of safety for birds.

Nope you can't leave it in the incubator for 3 weeks! maximum is 48 hours

you can make your own brooder all you need is

1 Large Card Board or Plastic Box

1 Red Heat Lamp

1 Lamp

and either kitchen towel or newspaper for the base

Oh and don't forget chick crumb and chick grit

i have always known it to be the color of the band right above the beak,,: if it is blue color it is a male and if it is a pinkish color it is a girl

The band can also be a purple color in which case is a male, or a brown or whit color which is a female. I have two parakeets.

I have been reading so much about parakeets lately and I read that it may be because of lack of exercise. So try to take your parakeets out of their cage once in a while. You can also try putting some new toys in their cage and introducing new toys once they get tierd of the old one.

up in the trees, migrate and bathe and drink together, too. very social birds.

You clip a parakeets wings the way you do any other birds. You hold tall of the wing feathers in one hand then you have to look for the 6 non-nerve feathers there is only 6 on each wing but to be safe I would suggest that you bring your parakeet to the vet they will do it for most likely around $30.00 which is not to bad compard to if you cut the wrong wing and had to go to the vet for an emergency.

NO NO NO!!! Take it to a little place I take my bird called, The Bird Shop. Look for it in the phone book. They will clip small bird's wings for only $3.00 and clip their nails for only $2.00. MUCH BETTER THAN DOING IT YOURSELF!!!

They should not eat salted sunflower seeds, the salt is toxic and can kill them.

Either buy unsalted seeds or wash them with warm water for a while . Parakeets are very small so too much salt could add up quickly in them, and too many sunflower seeds may be to much fat as well.

Just try a couple unsalted.
