Care of Birds

They are not just a feathered kitten or puppy. Avian companions require special care and this is the category to find out all about that.

Is it a good omen if a wild bird lands on your head?
It may depend on the type of bird and your personal faith.
many birds like to have sand or gravel to "eat" it stayes in the gizzard and helps to digest their food. Your parakeet may be looking for some rocks on the ground. Try getting some gravel & grit at a pet store and spread a very thin layer in his cage. It may not stop him from tearing up the newspaper, but that could be why he is doing it. Or he could just be bored and doing it for fun. one time my bird did that, he had a seizure and died. :(

Should people have a permit for every pet?
I would say people should NOT have a permit for every pet. Smaller pets, such as hamsters and goldfish, are very cheap and have very short life spans. There would be no point to get a permit to have goldfish every 2 weeks. For species that are more 'exotic' and may harm the surrounding environment if they escape may require permits. In addition pets that take quite a bit of experience to care for such as, say, Bengal tigers, would probably require a permit (not that you should own one as a pet.).

Your cockatiels are breeding but not laying eggs what is wrong?
It is very common and natural for female birds to lay eggs at regular intervals even when they are not in the presence if a male.

I myself had female zebra finches that laid an egg at least every two weeks, and of course they never hatched because the eggs were infertile.
