Shes not allowed more than a foot from me and stays on the harness. The harness also has elastic on the leash to break the pressure when she does hit the end. She is also fully flighted so shes not going to fall from anywhere and if its not my yard she is on my shoulder. She is only allowed on...
She finally accepted her harness and got to go on an outside adventure. She decided she hates grass. She kept getting mad at the grass for tickling her then flew to me because she didn't like it
Horses, i'm used to and never had a problem with. Cows, i'm new to. I do believe it was partially my fault because I didn't realize just HOW different they were. I also did not raise this cow nor do I know the person who did. Only feedback I got from boss was basically "they'll do that sometimes...
I'm not allowed to hit her other than a tap on the butt to her walking. But it sounds like it was actually my fault anyway. This one is one of my favorite cows and I think i was getting too friendly and treating her too much like a horse. So hopefully changing my behavior will help hers... but...
If you've been feeding it tomato leaves DO NOT give it to any reptiles. Tomato leaves are highly toxic. Mulberry and dandelion leaves are good for them. I hear they like tomatoes(fruit, NEVER leaves), pepper, and carrots. Personally I use a commercial hornworm food and supplement with leafy...
Well she has a halter, but I would like her to know not to do it when shes not on a lead, rather than having to physically pull her down all the time. She is usually on a lead around people anyway but like, you can put a muzzle on a dog that bites but that still doesnt mean its okay that it does...
So I recently started working with dairy cattle and I didnt realize one of the cows was in heat and turned my back on her... and she decided she wanted to get a bit too friendly, ended up stepping on and fracturing my wrist in the proces... pretty scary when a 1700lb cow is suddenly on top of...
I've read that one. She flew into a window as a fledgeling but still needed formula and someone else took her from there and gave her to me so I finished raising her and they wanted me to release her but the was both people friendly and thought I was her mother at that point so I wasnt going...
Shes extremely stubborn... she'll go hours without eating before she gives in and eats the rest. except white/ yellow millet. She hates the millet. Once she gets to where her bowl is like 80% millet she won't eat at all. She'll eat the red millet in a finch mix i got her though. Also she cant...
What kind of seed mixes do you all feed your doves? My dove is on the kaytee dove food right now because she was a surprise and it was all I could get that short notice. I'd like to get her on a better with preferably without milo. She will eat the milo and refuse anything else if she has it...
Thanks you. I was actually planning on replacing the lower one with a grape wood perch and the higher one with a platform, as I know pigeons like platforms. I imagine doves would too?
I was actually already planning on giving her a millet spray and possibly finely chopped hay to play in? The...
I have a single eurasian collared dove. About 4 weeks old freshly weaned who was mistakenly taken from her fledging area but already adapted well to captivity and bonded with me. As you can see her cage is pretty plain, nothing but two perches and a necklace(cut so she cant get stuck in it, not...
The problem with that is I want to know where she ends up. I want to personally be able to check in on her and stuff. Going through a rescue wouldn't allow me that
She also doesn't like ANY other birds. Otherwise It would probably be easier to find her a home with someone who knows their birds. But she must be in a SINGLE bird home.
So I ended up with a jenday conure I never wanted. She belonged to a friends sister who didn't take care of the bird at all. Kept it in the dark in a small filthy cage for over a year on a seed diet, no interaction, no baths, no light, a room full of perfume in a house where someone smoked...
This little mam showed up in a friends yard a couple months ago and she lives withus now. Tbh i'm pretty sure she escaped from someone who was cockfighting, as there was someone nearby who had a suspicious number of scruffy roosters(roosters are illegal here too) and she looks and acts like one...
