    Paramount: Yes it was indeed a great story! Thanks so much for sharing! I even told my husband about it! I as well agree with your last post, with breeding birds or any animal we are in fact playing mother nature or god if you will, and it is indeed for selfish human reasons. You are right most...

    Thanks for input paramount!~My no good husband has stepped up a bit and is sitting on the babies during his shift and helping feed them, its cooled down here in the last few days and maybe this has helped him. My owls are going through the moult right now but it has yet to hit the rollers and...

    culling

    Genetically speaking "purebred" animals of any kind are not the most sound. Even if the animal seems healthy and well established, it could very well be carrying some nasty recessive genes. Some of the best show birds are genetic nightmares because of inbreeding but because it present a certain...

    culling

    I don't agree with culling or destroying any bird unless it has no quality of life. If a bird is weak or has a deformity I have a special place for them so they don't get picked on, however I will also not breed them, that way they don't introduce those genes into my flock. I feel every...

    A no good husband...

    Originally I had taken this bird on as a pet, because I thought him very cute and had a good mellow personality. He was given to me at a show by his original owner because he was thought to be infertile. I believe he is around 5 or 6 years of age. I had him alone for a long period of time but...

    Help sexing pigeons

    It's so true my owls for some reason have very very androgynous....I have found out that all bets are off till they pair off and lay that first egg......I have a a female right now that acts so much like a cock that I'm still surprised when she lays eggs....

    A no good husband...

    I have a male show homer that sucks at being a mate. He never or rarely takes his turn sitting on his eggs and when the babies hatch he is very inconsistent with feedings and sitting on the young. Half the time it seems he forgets where his nest box and bullies other birds out of there nests...

    culling

    I do agree decapitation would be the best most humane way....I just don't think I could do it the right way and in turn make it suffer more..I don't have those types of skills nor do I think I ever would. The one time I ended up having to put something down I did use something very very heavy...

    Anyone else have issues with snakes eating there squabs??

    Thanks for your input everyone, I've had birds in three different locations in my life and have never had to even think about snakes. They are the worst! This year one snake ate four of my babies within two days(like you AV close to weaning). I had to shut them up for days before I got there fly...

    I know they also make human euthanize stuff for fish you can buy at pet stores like petsmart or petco (its chemically based).....If they have it for fish...maybe birds????I would do some research on chemically based human euthanize for birds on the net.....I know they are rather sensitive...

    I'm so happy my husband handles these types of thing.....I think breaking the neck for someone who has never done it might be difficult. I would recommend putting the bird in a cloth bag to relax it and then smashing its head....it sounds super awful but if I had no one to help me and I am by no...
