Ladybird12 send any and all advice you want to share my way. Silkiechicken......wow, that is great!! How long did it take to teach him those tricks? I am going to share your video with the family. Seremahen, I think my husband may be planning on surprising me with one for Christmas. I better...

Birdymama I was wondering how your little body hatch baby is doing. My lil one was very clingy at first, but he must be growing up. He doesn't care much for being held now. He is also starting to escape from his rubbermaid tote, when the mood strikes him.

Macaws do have really, really big beaks. This morning I let Zeke touch my hands with his beak, he was very gentle. He even at one point seemed to gently grab my hand for scritches. He dropped his head and started pushing it under my hand. He was being a true love muffin. It completely melted my...

Your welcome, and I am so very sorry about you losing your girl! When I lose a beloved pet, my husband always tells me that I have provided a wonderful loving, life for my loved one and that I did everything at their end of time to make them feel loved and comfortable as possible. I still miss...

I love my parakeets. They are super easy to take care of as long as you provide them with everything they physically need as well as entertainment( in my case other parakeets and toys that are rotated frequently). I have a group of four and they are fun to watch especially when they come out of...

Thanks for the advice. Honestly, I really don't want the grey on my head or shoulder; I would prefer him on my arm. I need to work on that. I am still a little apprehensive around him. I go back and forth in my mind some about the tiel and where he/she should come from. I would really like a...

I talked to my husband this morning about a tiel, he did not say no....so that could be a good sign. We are heading to the pet store and he mentioned something about supplies for a tiel..... that is even better. Oh yeah our African Grey perched on me without any coaxing this morning. He perched...

I don't have a cockatiel, but I sure do want one. We have a new African Grey and 4 parakeets. The grey is supposed to be my husband's baby. I already love him but that sure is a big beak on him. I think I would be more comfortable with a tiel.

The parakeets get Roudybush pellets and a kayteee seed mix. I am very slowly trying to convert them to total pellets. They also get veggies and fruit every morning and I sometimes add brown rice or chopped boiled quail eggs. The only snack they get is millet. We are still trying to figure out...

I just brought home my 4mth old CAG Zeke. Okay trainers what are your opinions on bonding with a bird? I tend to be more of a hands off let the animal come to me when they are comfortable kind of pet owner, but parrots seem to be on a different level. The breeder told me I need to just gently...

I guess I am lucky my hens will eat just about anything anything. One was running around with a frog in her beak the other day. Warm sweet potatoes, pasta, rice, grits and scrambled eggs are warm foods that are pretty regular for my girls. My ducks on the other hand won't touch any extras except...

I thought so! The chances of that lil one ever becoming dinner is unlikely! I am attached and mine was hatched in an incubator. I can only imagine how attached you are. By the way that was a really neat thing you did....kudos!!

I have a few general questions....just a little background first. My husband and I have been considering getting an African Grey. I have done a lot of reading and research and am concerned that if we do get one, we may not have enough time for it. I think I may be be going overboard in the time...

What a cutie pie! Is that pic on the forum somewhere else? I think I saw it on another post too. Is that a body hatch baby?

We are calling him "lil man" even though we are not sure if he is a boy or not! He is so funny; he loves empty toilet paper rolls. He darts in and out of them. Since he is by himself he has plenty of room in the brooder for things to climb on and hide in. Post some pics of your single baby!!

Good luck! I hope you get at least one baby. I am really enjoying our lil one. I brought him/her in the bedroom with me this morning; my husband laughed at me and said "I guess we won't be eating that one." I told him to go ahead and start thinking about a cage that he won't mind having in the...

Your welcome, I have found that I am constantly trying to figure out the perfect pens/enclosures/houses for all of my different critters. Problem is I am not the builder! LOL, thank goodness my husband is patient and supportive!

My pens are half solid floor/half wire. When my husband makes new ones I want the following: trays to pull out under my wire floors, the flies drive me insane and I will be just fine with dumping poo in a compost pile daily, some way to keep my solid floor cleaner and more sanitary (haven't...

Well I went ahead and checked all of my eggs that did not hatch. All of the eggs except 3 had chicks that had made it past the 10 day mark and several of those were fully developed with almost all of the yolk absorbed. We talked to the guy that the incubator came from and he told us that the...

I do think my inability to read and control my humidity consistently may have been part of the problem. I also read somewhere (can't remember where) that inbreeding could be part of my problem too, but I am sure that is commonly practiced, so I am not sure about that theory. One of my little...
