[ladybirdb12]

Ok don't know how to delete the same list that repeated but I AM BLAMING IT ON BUTTONS (COCKATEIL) SHE PUT HER BEAK ON MY TOUCH SCREEN LOL SORRY ABOUT THAT

That is pretty cool!

Do you ever sell any if you get a large amount of chicks?

 

[ladybirdb12]

Yes, my teils (babys) ummm and eating plus drinking water on their own, and are shown to trust,humans including being part of their flock, this gives then a wonderful life full of love as long as a person /family will treat them like a child, part of the flock /family
Also I spend a lot of time touching then, sort of like a vet would, just in case, they need to see a vet its less stress on the bird.
Lol I do not overload on breeding, because I understand that teils need a forever home, that lost a flock member (human) or the person had to give it away because of health problems, cockateils has lots of dander that can make people with COPD. worse.

So were did you get your budgie from?
And do you have more than one?
Do they stay in the same cage?

 

[ladybirdb12]

I do sell but I do not sell large amounts of wean cockateils
no chicks, they are not like chickens, lol
its harder work feeding baby parrots, the food has to be st 103 degree, the crops can stop working of the food is cold they do nit eat seed, you have to buy parrot baby food mix it like pudding, but the temp has to be st 103 (my vet told me) some will put the temp st 105. But I am going to do what my vet said she is an avian vet.
I will not sell a baby, that is not weaned, some breeders look at money I LOOK FOR HEAKTH SND CARE OF THE BABY.

Oh lol didn't see your post silly me lol
I has given three budgies two if them was in the same cage, but one died old age I think, I didn't know how old they are before they came to me. The other one, she us out right crazy she is bigger the most budgies do I think she is called the English budgie, she too was given to me, her old owner breeds them, but didn't hand feed the babys, its very hard. One day the owner if the budgies was checking her birds and saw that the male was dead, and the female was the one that killed him. So she is in ger own cage, her cage is next to my other budgie, and I will not put them together.
Bam Bam and Pebbles was in the same cage they got along really good I bought them, but Bam Bam died so Pebbles cage was put bear the cockateils, she loves sing to them. One morning it was cold in my house, I saw Pebbles on the floor of the cage NOT A GOOD SIGN, SHE WAS VERY WEAK,
we had a hospital bed for birds, the temp us sit at 85 degrees, and my hubby uses oxagen, so we havea splitter that put 02 in her box and he had his, once she was warm enough, I gave ger whole wheat bread, and lots of millet, but never feed a cold bird it will kill them, the crop stops working. She got better, she had her cage on her daddy's coffee table, some if the teils was out playing and she really got mad, she wanted out to play with them, so we let her out, she had a blast, playing with the cockateils sleeping next to them. BUT DONT THINK ANY BUDGIE WILL DO THIS, SOME BUDGIES EVEN THE VERY SWEET ONES THAT LOVES YOU, CAN HURT A TEIL, THEY WILL BITE THE TOES OFF OF YOUR TEILS. I GUESS YOU KEARN BODY LANGUAGE, WITH ANY PARROTS,
LATER I. WILL TELL YOU SBOUT CHRIPY. AND SCUFFY, (LOVEBIRD AND HIS MATE SCUFFY COCKATEIL)

We have a budgie called Scuttlebutt because he used to run back and forth on the floor of his cage trembling his wings to make showers of sand. He's 10 now. He beatboxes and his yellow swing is his lifelong mate and baby... He mates with it and feeds it regurgitated seed. He has beak and feather disease, so really he doesn't have a beak... Crooked wings, can't fly upward. Just a permanently open mouth, flat, no hook, but he cracks his millet fine. He was a to-be-culled charity rescue. Have tried to get him company various times throughout his life to no avail. Not that we'd breed him, we just didn't want the little fella lonely.

Asides from him we've had a short lived assortment of intended friends of his, all budgies: Goliath, named for his grey and yellow coloring, crest, and cockatiel size, also a dying rescue case. Got eaten by a python, the very first night he spent in his new aviary. The only time in Scuttle's life that he managed to fly; he tried to go to his friends' rescue. They were in separate adjoining cages with only a tiny opening up top that wasn't meant to be open. Also Jade, her mate Fusspot, whom we sold recently, and another rescue, a zebra finch with a ruined leg and foot, which my cat killed when he escaped. A good run, I know... :S

That's to bad at least they had a loving and caring home

 

[chooks4life]

Yeah, at least we tried. It's no good when your best efforts fail, but some animals will never be accepted by their own kind... That's when we start looking for cross-species company for them.

Here's a pic of Scuttles, if it works...




Check out that mouth! lol... Forgot to mention that he's a midget budgie. Probably because of his hard start to life.

He's cute, if only they could breed miniature budgie's that would be kind of cool!
