Care of Birds

Viability of a FERTILIZED egg will drop if kept in the refrigerator for any length of time.

Cool about 50F (not cold) and dark with good humidity is the normal way of saving fertile eggs for incubation. A maximum of 7 days. After the seven day period the first save lose better than 50% of their chance at hatch and that drops daily for every extra day saved thereafter.

A hen sits on and hatches a clutch of eggs; when they are hatched they are simply a flock.

You should clean their cage about once a week. Change the lining every day, or more if needed. If you have more than one parakeet, remember to give them separate bowls so that they don't fight over the food. You should change the food and water every day. I hope you love your budgies, I know I do (:

The rooster will copulate with the hen and deposit his sperm.
It's kind of the same as a human, if there is no sperm (from the cockerel then it will just be a normal egg (no life in it). But if the cockerel fertilises it (he and the hen have chicken-sex) then it will be a little chick.

To care for a bird with a broken wing you have to first mend (bind) the wing with some sort of caste or guaze. Then you give it what it needs such as enough water, food, rest and most of all love.

Long feathers take up a lot of room, and could not develop in the egg. The baby bird's down is a very efficient insulator, which helps conserve energy that it needs to survive and also for its rapid growth. Once it is of a good size and begins to need the longer feathers, they grow in.

Loud noises will startle birds and usually make them fly out of your garage. Remove any nests and block the area where they like to go. You can also keep the doors and windows shut to block their entrance once the birds are out of the garage. This will force them to go somewhere else.

Hi!

Well, i'm no canary training expert, but'll try to help you.

First of all it depends on the canary. I don't think all canaries can be tamed, so don't blame yourself.

Next is patience and work.

A few things i did/do:

- first make sure they're healthy, don't give them food for several days at once, try to give food per day. They also like to bathe. I place a cover over the cage at night so it gets at least 11 hours sleep.

- They need to get used to your presence and not be afraid of you.

- Place your hand near the cage, then in the cage, and wait. Let them calm down. Build it slowly, let them get used to your hand.

-I always feed him his snacks (fruit or bread etc) at the exact same place through the bars (near a stick). When doing this, i'll hold on to the snack until they take it! This will teach them to take food out of your hand. It may take a while though.

- Catching them will also make them used to being touched, but they never like it so don't overdo it.

- I also let the bird fly, it's good for them, they need the exercise. Most of the time he will return to his cage automatically.

- when he is free he's agressive, but not realy affraid, but doesn't like to be touched. With the help of food you can lure him and they are already used to eating out of your hand. The next step is the finger. He wil attack my finger and when placed against his belly he will jump on it. but he never stays on for long.

Hope this helps,

Good luck!

The only positive way to tell is with an DNA test, you can not tell by looking at the bird. An experienced breeder can often tell by feeling the pelvic bones, the females are farther apart than the males, best I can say is I am right 80% of the time.

QT Aviary how much does this cost and can you buy a test a pet shops what you really want is a non -expensive way not an avairy 2 check their pelvise eeeew!!

They eat a variety of insects and worms, but mostly like ants, ticks, crickets and insect larva. They sometimes go after small minnows. They will also eat some seeds, but it's not their preferred food.

It depends on the age of the bird. If you know for sure its a baby bird, if possible, wait until you see the mother bird. Often if will carry it to a safer place and bring it food until it learns to fly. If it is injured or the mother bird abandons it, call a local bird sanctuary or take the bird there. But be carefull not to stress the baby bird out too much or it will die. What ever you do, do not put the bird back in its nest or touch it. Usually, if not all the time, the mother bird will reject the baby and let it die. Its better not to take the chance. Also it's illegal to take care of a baby bird without an license.

Bulbuls (Pycnonotidae) are a family of medium-sized passerine songbirds.

Yes, it's OK to place a fallen baby bird back in the nest. It's a myth parent birds will kill babies that have human scent on them. The parents will care for it if the baby bird isn't ill. Baby birds often end up out of the nest because parent birds "kick" them out due to illness. Seems cruel, but it's how Mother Nature works.

Pigeon nests are messy piles of sticks and other debris carelessly woven together. In the city they like sitting them high up on flat ledges of apartments. If there isn't a place like that, they are highly adaptable and position their nest in any sheltered place from rain gutters to window boxes.

Un-answerable question - different species of nidifugous birds take from around 2 weeks to many months to fledge.

If it was with a group of other birds and had a tiny reddish mark near its eye, it was probably a Cedar Waxwing.

Yes they will because the scent that humans give off is the total opposite of the scent that the baby birds normally have. The mother will not feed her babies if they have human scent and the babies will die.

Either if you are a male or female, you let the duckling chew on your nipple.

Yes geese do. Any bird can have flees

Woodpeckers dont eat wood, what they want are the insects inside. Get rid of the bugs and you will be rid of the birds. Woodpeckers and carpenter bees will make holes in soft untreated wood so paint or urethane would be another fix.

The average lifespan of a peafowl (peacock) in the wild is an average of 15 years.
The average lifespan of a peafowl (peacock) in captivity, if cared for really well, is about 20 to 23 years.

In captivity they have access to healthcare by the means of vets, healthily balanced food and they are protected from predators, which is why they typically live a little longer in captivity.
