    Has anyone here ever done business with California ostrich valley farms? I've been trying to find some local coturnix quail chicks! If anyone knows a good place that sells chicks please let me know 😁

    Entry #2 Lizzie was actually one of our smartest chickens! I think the blank eyed "birdbrain" stare was a ruse to make us think otherwise.

    Sick Ringneck Dove. PLEASE HELP QUICKLY

    what kind of set up do you have him in right now? The first step for recover is a good hospital cage. I would set up a heat lamp for him, so he has the option if he wants.

    Single Female Cockatiel is Broody? Need Advice!!
