I’m thinking of becoming an avian certified vet.
About how many years will it take for me to complete my schooling? What courses will I need to take? any other info you could give me would be great.

If you find a grey cockatiel with a yellow face in Georgia, please e-mail me at emmiecarroll@yahoo.com!! He is very special in our family and we are trying our best to find him. We (not me, he hates me) are whistling to him, and he whistles back. We have his cage out with food and water. It is really hot outside, and please, if you're in GA, please keep a look out. He is a very special bird. He answers to Uno, and if he likes you, he'll land on your hand. Uno loves to be rubbed on the back of his neck. PLEASE, if not in Georgia, USA, pray for his safe return.

I mean, are these birds rare (Zebra Finches, cockatels, etc.), or are they common.

Do they like to be in cages?

And can you let them fly outside the cage?

I have two cockatiels that just won't stop having babies. They first started having babies around easter of 2005 and have been non-stop since. As soon as the babies are old enough to walk out of the breeding cage they start doing it again. Sometimes as often as three times a day.

We've tried removing the breeding cage and nesting box but they'll lay eggs next to the couch and try to hatch them there. I'm worried about the health of the mother since I've heard they may pull calcium from their bones to form eggs. She eats lots of cheese and chew the calcium block plenty though.

I can't and won't separate the pair since they are in love and will cry and scream if they can't be together. Does anyone have suggestions on how to stop them?

I also have two parakeets, one lovebird, and another cockatiel. Thank god they are all males and can't breed with each other.

i was able to train it to step up on my finger but when i went on vacation for about 3 days it started to "action" to bite.... i know they sometimes do it to check the stability of the perch but it seemed like it just wanted to bite me..... could you give me any advice?

I've been spraying her with a spray for mites, but it seems like she's just getting worse. She's happy and does not seem to be in pain, but it is horrible to see!

my husband loves humming birds.
he has a clear feeder with flower looking holes for the birds to get the nectar mix(looks like koolaide), the brand he gets is called:perky pet instant nectar, 6 pk box.each makes one quart.
well he hangs his feeder up with the bright red nectar but after 2 or 3 days it turns clear!!!!!
the birds are not near as attracted to it.
why is this?
its hanging on our porch (edge) but some sun can hit the container.
why is the color changing? has this happend to you?
is it just the color they love ?
any better ideas to keep his bird friends around?
he would spend alot if he changes it every couple of days.
thanks!!! candy cane.

I've had my pet cockatiel, Alvin, since I was four (almost 21 years) and he always imitates what I do (when I bob my head, he bobs his head and "dances" on his perch, when I say "pretty bird," he repeats it, etc.).

I'm curious. Why do birds do this imitative behavior? Are they trying to communicate with us? Do they want attention? I have this habit of tapping on something (i.e. a wall, the stair rail in our house) and he'll tap his perch with his beak in response.

The staples in my pantry are red wine, bird seed and dog food. I have many resident birds that I tend to. I live in Nashville, TN and the hummingbirds are starting to migrate at this time of year. I have 20 feeders and usually about 20-50 hummingbirds in my garden at this time of year. It is great to go out on the patio and be swarmed by the hummers. I have noticed something strange this year. I have Carolina Chicadees ( very small birds, 2-3 inches in height only found in the United States) that are feeding off of the sugar water. They feed on the feeder by the kitchen window. They are no ants on the feeder they are actually drinking the sugar water. I fill 3 different sized birth baths daily so it is not the water. Has anyone else seen this before? I try not to talk about my bird obsession with others. It's boring to them, I can tell.
