Almost two weeks back a Pigeon built a nest on a floor corner of our balcony between some big pebbles. As far as I know that they take around 14-18 days to hatch. She was always laying on top of the two egs since then as expected.

Three days back she just left the eggs unhatched for no obvious reason! I am not sure what to do from there? what if they hatch? would another Pigeon feed them? did she felt they are dead for some reason and left? when should i through them away?

I want to hand raise 2 baby lovebirds so they grow to trust me but if I have 2 of them will they be tame or will they be more untame, I have raised 1 before but he died and I want to start again but with two.
Will they grow to trust me or would I be better off with one?

there's a cardinal that hangs out outside my window in my apartment complex and it makes the screechiest, highest-pitched noise i've ever heard. the little f*cker wakes me up at 5am everyday and will go until 9am. sometimes he's even there screeching when i get home from work. although the thought of a BB gun is tempting, i don't want to harm or hurt him, i just want him to GO AWAY!!!! i can't sleep!! i'm going to rip my hair out! HELP!!!!

I'm having a rough time with my Blue and Gold winged Macaw. He's very friendly and loves to be around people as long as he's with me of course. But that's the problem, it's when I'm not around. Every time I go somewhere or leave to do something he screams. I can tolerate when he gives a few yells when I leave or when I put him to bed or maybe a few screams while I'm gone but not the whole time I'm gone. Lately when I've been away I come home to find out he has been yelling non stop. And I know he wants attention but I can't always give him attention. I go to school and I'm not always home but when I get home I hear it from my family that he was screaming and they weren't successful in calming him. I've had countless complaints from the neighbors of his screaming and today was my last straw. And sad to say if he doesn't quiet down I'm going to have to get rid of him. Which I really don't want to do, but it's getting really out of control.Toys isn't a problem. I'm just out of ideas.HELP!

I have a 10 day old chicken egg that is possibly fertile. I've been keeping warm in a homemade incubator. I've candled it and its pretty dark on the inside and has dark lines in it. But what I noticed is when I had it for five days is the yoke started to just stay still and there's some type of shadow and/or near it right now.

Is the shadow I'm seeing the embryo? if so is what I'm seeing normal for a 10 day old chicken egg?

I've read one way to tell chickens apart from birth is once they're feathers are dry you gently stretch out one of the wings. If two of the wing feathers are longer the its a female but if only one wing feather is longer then the others then its a male.

Is this true?

also are there any other ways I can find out the gender of a day old chick?

Please no jokes or wise cracks.

I found a baby bird that has fallen from his nest. The nest is far out of my reach. As a matter of fact even with a tall ladder I would be unable to reach it. It's been at least 2 hours since I first found him. I used a syringe to give him some declorinated water. I am about to try giving him some food I mashed up containing only declorinated water and some freeze dried bloodworms (betta fish food). The mother bird is close by and very attentive. I'm afraid if I leave him there the cats that live there may find him. But if I take him does he have any chance of making it??? He still has about 1/2 baby fluff and he is starting to develop feathers.

My female cockatiel is about 4 years old. Is she sexually mature enough to lay eggs?
If not, does anyone know about what year that cockatiels should start laying eggs?

My Love Bird is now over 8 years old and apart from having a few green feathers turn to yellow seems to be as sprightly as the day he was hatched! How much longer am I likely to enjoy his company?

I've heard of playing "toothpick tug-of-war"- which is played by putting a toothpick in your mouth and having your cockatiel (who is on your shoulder) tug it away from your mouth...

Does anyone have any tips for other games I can play with my cockatiel? I'm even open for tips on how I can show him affection.

I already pet him, kiss him, nibble on him (lol), and everything else. I just want to know of other ways I can express affection towards him.

BTW, I ALREADY spend a LOT of time with him. Please don't leave me with a one-statement answer that just says "spend more time with him." I already give him a lot of time... except my bonding and loving-ness is getting a little dull for myself. I want to show him love in more than one way. :-p

Also, what are some good toys I can give him to play with? He's so damn adorable!! :-D
