I love Hitoko, but don’t always have time to follow him around when he’s out of his tank getting into trouble. So I knew I needed a friend for him. ...but I’ve only ever had bad luck hatching my own eggs, partially due to a garbage incubator. So he’s never gotten a little i don’t have a...

If anybirdie has any good ideas for button quail foraging treats, please let me know! Hitoko loves digging around his enclosure and as a current lone quail I think he’d have fun with it.

My 5 month old hen has suddenly become skittish of me. I’ve known her since she was a squeaker, and we’ve always been best friends since. She’s gone on walks and usually hates being away from my in her cage, she’s mostly just as friendly. Dancing for me and wanting to be pet through the rungs...

He also has mostly water droppings.

My baby giant runt (~3 months) has only been home about a week. This evening he’s suddenly gagging up water. I had seen some vomit in his cage but he’s behaved normally up until now and hadn’t vomited before maybe last night. now he’s lethargic and clearly uncomfortable. He seems to have...

So today, one of my lightbulbs went out on the heat lamp for my button hen. She got cold and lethargic, but I warned her up with her brother and a heat lamp that I had an addition. I gave her more food and water, a new heatlamp, and had to go to work. Now it is 11:02 PM, and she is still...

I have buttons for friendliness, and she is nothing but skittish. She is also lonely and desperately needs company, but refuses human attention. If someone can offer her a home, they can have her for free. i can add pictures of course. thank you!

Only day seven on a button quail egg! The rest have a nice healthy shadow and veining, but this one... hmm... not sure what I’m looking at, but it doesn’t look as great. They did come over a slightly chillier few days (50s), one came cracked, and I’ve already decided 7/13 are viable for sure...

Hitoko is a very funny boy. He’s developing bad habits and doesn’t go back in his cage unless he wants to/is forced. He screams if you don’t peep back at him when he wants you to! He is officially four weeks old!

Hello everybirdie, so I know that quails are impressionable at birth, and if are not handled in their first week often they won’t be human-friendly. But are pheasants the same way? i’m getting a house golden pheasant, but I’ve ordered a roughly two month old one. Will he be able to be tamed...

Officially 3 weeks old!

AH! He just mated to me! ...I may have cried. I’m sure my warbled shaky coos were funny to him. But I had been spending time with him, and he was particularly lovey and flirty. So when he began to nest-coo in the bathroom, I put my hand by him to try and get him to come out of the bathroom with...

I’m happy to hear it’s working out! Though I do disagree doves can’t be kept alone, as pigeons will mate to humans easily, and I know doves do as well if given the time and effort (Pigeons are just a bit more confident). My dove is attempting to, he just seems to have territory issues with his...

Hitoko actively seeks me out even with the option of his sister! He’s scurries along the Sides of the tank towards me if he can see me. All of a sudden I heard a screech from the back room, so I went to check on them, and they were fine, and Hitoko began to cry and scurry along the side of his...

That’s certainly what my Adelaide does! That’s what threw me for a loop as well in the end. Females will be territorial of nest space, and even Adelaide jumps on me and dances for me as flirting outside of the nest. So don’t rule out that isn’t in fact a hen! I’d say give her a bit before...

Hmm, if she was hand tame I’d say pet em- if she’s a girl she’ll bend over and spread her shoulders, if it’s a boy he’ll hump your hand... As for the growling, that’s a common nesting pigeon noise and both cocks and hens make it.

Even educated guessing is always difficult, I always think I’m positive and then get duped! So I don’t blame you. My first hen was a racing homer of some sort (though comparing her to bigger cocks I could see she was small and sleek), and my current one is a homer/fantail. She’s bigger than...

They’d have to mate, the new cock may fight the hen, chicks, or the hen may fight him (Most likely all of the above). If he’s so young the eggs may not be fertle, but unless he were to remate while he’s away, it’s likely he’ll come back.

Wait- I wouldnmt be too sure. Pigeons don’t have very strict gender differences. I get VERY masculine hens every time, and yet the cock I have is sleek and small. My hen is a big beefy girl who flirts and fights like a cock. But I did a DNA test, and she is for sure a girl. The growling around...

Hello everybirdie, I have a year old ringneck. He was a semi-rescue, as his parents were abusive. He’s a dove, so he started off timid, but I’ve had him for 5 months now and have been slowly working with him. he’s gotten to the point of cooing at me (he’ll coo at most anybirdie, though), and I...
