    Society Finches & Egg Laying

    That's good to know. They're so cute, and I love the male's singing. The chirping from the girls is adorable, too. I'd like to think I'm taking good care of them. I'm just not sure why they aren't laying.

    Budgie Screeching

    Oh, yikes... I'll take it down today. There's this one pet store I go to a couple times a month and they have this wide, walled off area that's elevated full of their budgies for sale, and another for budgies that are breeding. There's several breeding boxes all lined up and they just put the...

    Budgie Screeching

    He very well might be showing off! Kind of makes sense. The only other bird he seems interested in showing off for is another male though, haha. I've never seen him feeding or preening the females. They're all quiet up until around 5:30-6:00am when they'll start to chatter a bit, but the...

    Society Finches & Egg Laying

    I'm not too concerned with them being able to procreate, but I was relying on the eggs themselves to help feed this snake. That and I just found it odd that mine aren't laying when everywhere I read says they should readily be. The males are probably too old. The woman I adopted them from said...

    Budgie Screeching

    You think that's all it is? I've gotten used to the sound, but it made me wonder if maybe something was wrong with him or he wasn't happy.

    Society Finches & Egg Laying

    I have a total of six society finches split into two groups (as one of the two males was getting the back of his head pecked at) in separate cages. One male to two females, and one male to one female. Initially I had the three females together for a few months before I adopted the two males...

    Budgie Screeching

    I have six budgerigar (3 male, 3 female) in a large flight cage commercialized towards larger parrots. Lots of different toys, different types and widths of perches and ladders, mineral blocks and cuttlebone, three separate feeding dishes, a bird bath... I spoil the crap out of my 'keets, and...

    Ringneck Dove Chick; few questions

    Going to start referring to the chick as a 'he' until I know for sure later on, since the boyfriend has dubbed him "Groucho." So last night I fed him around 30 or so frozen-thawed peas, and his crop felt pretty full at that point. Woke up this morning to retrieve and check on him, crop was...

    Ringneck Dove Chick; few questions

    Thank you so much to both of you. I'm about to feed again, so this is very helpful. I'll also try the zip-tie and elastic method for its legs, I thankfully have both of those things around here somewhere. @backyard pigeons oh wow! I don't know why I didn't think of this, I'll definitely try...

    Ringneck Dove Chick; few questions

    So to start things off, I've had a pair of Ringneck Doves that I'd purchased earlier in the year. They came with two fertile eggs (already laid!) and one successfully hatched. Since then they've hatched and raised two other chicks at different times. Currently they've hatched their fourth chick...

    Splayed Leg - when is it too late?

    The one thing that concerns me about the bandaids is it sticking to their skin when I go to remove it... on human skin, after wearing it a couple of days, most bandaids are really stuck on there. But it sounds like a safer alternative to using tape. I guess I'll go ahead and try that, to see how...

    Splayed Leg - when is it too late?

    So let me start with this... my incubator crapped on me on hatch day. It didn't 'break' but it started heating wrong and wasn't keeping humidity level. I'm thankful it made it to that point (at least), but I was forced to help hatch 5 eggs that were stuck for over 24 hours. I know this is...

    Button Quail Aggression? Or Mating...

    Sorry I didn't see your reply sooner, but yes I've picked out my pairs and I'm left with two males that I hope to rehome soon. Preferably separately, or to someone who knows not to put them together... I haven't noticed any more aggression, and you're right, my pairs all snuggled up with their...

    Button Quail Aggression? Or Mating...

    As of today, my buttons are almost 5 weeks of age. Just this morning I noticed one of my females looking a little more ruffled than usual, and so I went to investigate. She didn't like it, but, I found a patch on her back where the feathers have either been scratched or ripped out. Upon...

    So about those button quails...

    You're right, there are many variations of "fallow"... but isn't that a pink-eyed dilution? My chick doesn't have the pink eyes, though. If you think both 3 & 4 are hens, then thank goodness... other than those two, I MIGHT have a female out of my silvers, and I still don't know about my silver...

    So about those button quails...

    They're over 4 weeks old now, and I have a few updated pictures of some of the chicks I'm not sure about. Almost all of my buttons are male! :C #1 I though this guy was a cinnamon, but he just looks so strange. Is he piebald by any chance? #2 This was the other possible cinnamon. He looks...

    Feeding button quails?

    My chicks are 2-3 days shy from 4 weeks old, and I'm about to purchase more feed for them online. What I've been using up to this point is the "Mana Pro Gamebird/Showbird Crumble" which has a minimum of 24% crude protein and it's unmedicated. At 3 weeks I then started adding in wild finch seed...

    So about those button quails...

    You think #3 is blueface? I was pretty sure I didn't get blue-anything from these guys, but that'd be pretty neat if you're right.

    So about those button quails...

    #9 Another normal...? #10 I want to say that this one may be silver, since it's a bit more smokey in color than my whites. But could just be white... #11 Red-breasted..? #12 Looks questionable in the image, but I think this one is also just a white. Kind of on the small side...

    So about those button quails...

    Well... I got some front and wing shots of all 13 chicks, so here we go. They're aged 12-13 days, with one only 10(?) days old. Image heavy! #1 I believe this is a silver tuxedo? #2 Some sort of normal? Red-breasted maybe? Chest feathers haven't really come in yet. #3 Another normal...
