Found a pigeon with a broken leg
Hello, I apologize for no response. As school began for me on August 9th, my dad chose to nurture the pigeon back to health instead. We took your Kaytee bird seed advice and Gabby (the pigeon) loved it. She also enjoyed having a sand bath nearby, although, more to use as a litter box. Over...- faymine

abnormal eggs - what is the cause & should I be concerned?
Hello, my 8-9 month old female coturnix has been laying abnormal eggs recently. As seen in the picture two are shell-less and the third one has a thin, very fragile shell. Today no egg was laid. She has a high-protein diet and I provide her with calcium supplement. She eats 1 mealworm a day... -

Found a pigeon with a broken leg
Found a hurt undomesticated pigeon underneath a car. It's left leg is broken/splayed. The nearest wildlife rehabilitation center already has 300 pigeons in care -- for this pigeon to be accepted, I'll have to issue a $100 donation. Splint surgery at an animal hospital is also costly. I would...- faymine

Diarrhea. Help please
Update: Thanks to a family member I'll have the poultry nutri-drench arrive soon with overnight shipping (I'm a minor and cannot order online.) Great news is she eats a small/decent amount every 50 minutes. I have to slightly wet the feed though, otherwise she remains uninterested. She likes it... -

Diarrhea. Help please
Good thing happened - she ate some feed for the first time today. She then had a tiny normal dropping, but afterwards came a huge amount of the diarrhea. I'll try acquiring Nutri-drench asap and I'll stop the cabbage. Will also quarantine her away from the flock. -

Diarrhea. Help please
Female coturnix quail has diarrhea. The substance is clear in color with occasional white patches, and is very runny. Been collecting samples to show the vet. In the spare time, what could I do to help her? Should I separate her from the flock? Her diet: Gamebird Showbird Starter Grower from... -

What does green poop mean?
Two days ago, my female coturnix fractured ( did not break thankfully! ) her left leg and I have kept her quarantined in a box. Sadly she is unable to move much, but she continues to eat, drink, lay eggs, sleep, poop...I am more on the hopeful side for her recovery. However, around 4 hours ago... -

What does this behavior mean?
Thank you, I'll consider adding places for them to hide. -

What does this behavior mean?
Fortunately her fecal float test results will return in a day or two. I appreciate the recommendation, although the males become anxious and begin to crow once she leaves their sight. The female is also fond of one male, creating a quiet cry noise if she cannot be near him when she wishes to... -

What does this behavior mean?
My female quail was aggressive towards her two male neighbors today. She has behaved similarly a few months ago, which led me to separate all the quail. They haven't become too aggressive since. She has also been puffing her back/butt into the air, I am unsure if this is to ward of the males or... -

What made you happy today?
Visited a park today with an acquaintance/friend. We hiked, listened to her playlists on Pandora, swung on swing sets, and barrel-rolled down a short grass hill. I spotted mourning doves, a collard dove, great-tailed grackles, hummingbirds, and a few more species. Spring is blooming and I...- faymine

VERY Stressed male quail
:) On 'good days' (when the quail are peaceful), perhaps you could allow them to interact with each other. Otherwise I hope the separation method goes well. -

VERY Stressed male quail
If it eases you, I had a situation exactly as this one! I also own two male quail and one female. I would separate all three into different compartments except it stressed them to not be able to see one another, even if they could hear each other. The males would therefore crow for a majority... -

VERY Stressed male quail
Although he is separated, can the grey quail see the female? Perhaps his stress relates to not being able to see her. -

How do I tell the difference between a prominent keen / too skinny quail?
Thank you for the information. I researched for a bit and it is a possibility he may have worms. I see treatment options are available to buy online, but is there a way to conduct this test without visiting an avian vet? I feel it would significantly stress the quail. Or, could I just bring... -

How do I tell the difference between a prominent keen / too skinny quail?
1. Yes - although, for around one month I fed them a separate feed. It was the same size/shape/color as the Manna feed, except it contained about 20% protein. Unfortunately I do not have the name of this feed. I do not feed them it anymore. 2. Around two-three times per day I feed him along with... -

How do I tell the difference between a prominent keen / too skinny quail?
Hello, I feed them Manna Pro "Gamebird showbird starter grower" with 24% crude protein. They are all celadon coturnix quail and are nearing 4 months old. I felt the keen a second time, from my judgement it is a 2 on the scale. His keen is very prominent yet not protruding sharply. I attached a...
