    Something is eating the baby birds in my yard!

    I know this isn't about chickens but I need some help. I am a huge bird lover and every year I take time to locate nests and I watch as they are built and the eggs are laid. I always keep my distance from the nest so I don't attract attention, but the last few years none of the nests have been...

    HOA- Are Doves and Pigeons Against the Rules??

    My HOA laws state that "No animals, livestock or poultry of any kind may be raised, bred, kept or permitted on any property, with the exception of dogs, cats or other usual and common household pets." Do you think doves and pigeons are illegal with these rules? It's confusing becuase they aren't...

    Non-Stick Pans???

    I use nonstick pans every day. It's something I can't do without. What's all this about non-stick pan fumes killing birds instantly? I have button quail in my bonus room upstairs and have had them for a while now and they're fine but I was looking into buying a parrot a year ago and started...

    Hardiest Bird Breeds

    I was wondering if there is any type of finch/small pidgeon/etc. that I could keep in my screened-in porch all year. I can provide little things like a heat lamp or a fan or cover up the cage and my porch could potentially be a little play flight if it is necessry.

    Help! I think my chickens are cannibals!

    At first I thought the problem of broken eggs was due to soft-shelled eggs because it was my EE's first 2 eggs and they were soft-shelled but now I am finding broken shells from eggs that seem to have been strong and healthy. I put a golf ball in there so maybe that'll help but is there anything...
