So today I had my hand reared pigeon on my shoulder and I was walking toward my loft for something. Suddenly a hawk flew down and tried to grab him off of me. He chased him around and almost got him. Anyways, I've lost well over 30 birds to hawks and owls and im sick of it. Ive lost seven since...
I have a six year old hen budgie who has lived alone with our cockatiels for four years. I moved her to my outdoor aviary and now shes paired up with a 7 month old male. What should i do? Im scared she'll have issues laying eggs or something!
Finished my aviary today!
Anybody have plant suggestions? The birds dont have outside access yet and have a heat lamp.
Got the budgies and female zebra finch today!
First baby of the year hatched today!!!!! 2nd on the way! They are owl mix x utility king.
They got dads short beak and I think they're gonna be white.
Are anybody else's pigeons breeding right now? One pair laid their eggs when it was -10° out!!! I have a few other pairs nesting right now too. Is this part of their normal season?!

His eyes look kinda droopy and watery! I don't think he can use bottom lid! Just got him and named him Django! He's about 10 weeks old and hand raised!
I've been wanting to build an aviary for a while and was wondering the dimensions that would be required for three pairs of zebra finches, a pair or two of budgies, possibly a cockatiel, a pair of society finches(possibly), maybe a pair of spice finches or any recommended species. I would be...
I've had my hen budgie for four years and was wondering what "morph" or "variety" she is. I had a recessive pied cock (she murdered him and bonded with me instead).
I was looking for squabs at a farm(the owner wants me to rid of all the feral pigeons) and found a nest of two eggs, me being inquisitive wanted to see what stage of development the egg was at. I peeled open the shell and found a hatchling ready to greet the world with its yolk almost totally...
