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

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...
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...
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...
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...
Hello everybirdie,
i love showing off my many species of birds. I happen to be very lucky and bought from a source that breeds tameness into buttons! And, of the two babies I hatched (first timer’s blunders), my little assumed tuxedo male is very friendly!
i wanted to make a thread following...
Hello evrybirdie,
I’d really like specifically silver button quail eggs. Variety is fun, but I only had a desire for Darth Vader and Silver. I already have a source for Darth Vader, but not Silver yet...
Please let me know if you can help!

Hello Everybirdie,
i decided to do a separate thread for the eggtopsy as to keep my “Any Hope For This Anxious Novice?” A simple walkthrough. This will also keep diagnosis easier for me to track.
This was the last one I pulled last night (day 15). In the complete...
Hello Everybirdie,
I simply wanted to start another artist chat of my own. Everybirdie who has the passion is welcome, so please don't hold back. Let's try and make an artist group, no matter how big it gets. You may also stay here if you just like art and want to chat with anybirdie in here...
Hello everybirdie,
i cannot believe I’m saying this, but I’ve invested in a macaw. I never impulse buy, so please don’t be concerned. However, If anybirdie has any good advice/comments/stories about Macaws, I’d love to hear to know what to expect.
My baby is so young and hasn’t been sexed or...
Hello everybirdie,
Technically it doesn’t matter as we’re going to confirm with the vet tomorrow, but I was curious on your thoughts first.
This is my baby “fantail”/homer. I’m 89% sure she’s a girl, but just as my first pigeon, she’s fiesty and flirts like a boy. Actually, even moreso than my...
Hello Everybirdie,
I have been in love with King/button quails forever. Finally, I buckled this fall and bought two batches from separate folks. I know where I went wrong, but please tell me if I have hope so I can prepare.
i bought one batch of21 off eBay, and one batch of 9 from a farmer I...
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
i am new! But I have loved fowl forever. I’ve just started to become my own person and invest in them in my life.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have a dove, a pigeon, soon quails, and a pheasant.
(3) What breeds do...
