Do parrots need gravel like parakeets do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Parrots, like parakeets, don't necessarily need gravel. However, providing a substrate like sand or grit can aid in digestion by helping grind down food in their gizzards. It's essential to research specific species requirements as they vary.

Your cockatiels are breeding but not laying eggs what is wrong?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

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. Removing the nest may help in slowing down egg production, but many birds will do this. 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.

Caged birds with lice or mites will scratch a lot. Whether or not your parrot has lice or mites, it is wise to get a mite spray from the pet shop and spray it every couple of days. The spray does no harm if used properly.

Are parrots nearly extinct?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, the Carolina parakeet is extinct. Carolina parakeets were the only species of parrot native to the United States of America. These birds went extinct in the wild in 1904 and then in captivity in 1918. They went extinct because of deforestation and because farmers killed flocks who came and ate their crops. They were also frequently hunted for the use of their feathers in fashion. They also would flock back to places where dead or dying birds were, making hunting easier. Ornithologist Noel F. Snyder speculated that the final cause of their extinction was poultry disease, but no proof has ever been found backing up the claim.
