OK, I have a serious problem. There are these yellowish worms in my Nanday's bird cage. I have NEVER had a problem like this before. I have had my bird for over ten years and this is the first time I have seen anything like it. I don't see them inside the cage, but on his blanket.

Yesterday, I found them on his cover so I threw the cover away, outside. I scrubbed the cage, threw away the old bedding, toys and then replaced the bedding.

Today, I saw another worm on his new cover.

This is gross and totally freaking me out. Does anyone know what this could be or how to get rid of it? My poor bird can't have these worm things living by him!

Thanks so much for any help.

i have a feeding regime that includes softfoods and supplements given on a regular basis to my budgerigars.my average clutch of eggs this year was nine with a 99.9% hatch rate,due to the large numbers of chicks per nest i had to use foster parents to rear half the chicks hatched.i think this year i have at last found the successful way to feed birds to increase fertility.the question i ask could a correct diet help those people who would love to have a child but have problems trying to concieve.we are what we eat.

I have 2 black-cheeked lovebirds but when I bought them they didn't tell me the genders. Both of my birds look identical: Black head and cheeks, orange collar with a yellow neck and the body is green.

The chef at my restaurant says that fresh brewed coffee that sits in the pot starts to deteriorate in quality after sitting for only 15 minutes. Seems like a little too quick for me. What do you coffee experts thing of this chef's statement.

I have a pet seagull at work. He knocks on my window with his beak when he wants me to feed him. One of my fellow employees threatened to feed the seagull an alka-seltzer hidden in some food. The old story is that an Alka-seltzer will kill a seagull by making him explode. Supposedly they can't burp out the gas created by the Alka-seltzer. Anyone know if this is fact, or fiction?

i am a young food-stylist putting together my portfolio which means i am organizing several different photo shoots for myself to show to clients and hopefully lead to fulltime work as a stylist.i can email my first shoot so you can see the type of thing i like doing!I am the one who prepares the food,and finds all the props in the photos(tables,backgrounds,chairs,plates,cultery..)as well as arranges it.
The next shoot i am working on is most likely going to happen on Sept 25th or 26th, in SYDNEY,australia,and i want it to be about "afternoon tea".SO,i would really love if some1 could bring one of their birds(hopefully a colorful one,or even a grey one)to perch on one of the chairs of my set.one of the chairs will be pushed into a table laden with fine china,tea,and cakes,cookies or pies.I would like it to look like he lives in the garden i am shooting in but,am not going to try to feed him in any way.i can pay for your time and will need u and the bird for 3-4hrs max.THx

Well, the day before yesterday I saw a pigeon that had poop on it and it seemed very dirty. There was mucus all over its eyes and beak. Its beak cant close and its head cant reach down to eat or drink. Yesterday my teachers said that it got better. It looked very sick. They called the animal control/humane society and they never came to pick up the pigeon. Today, I caught the pigeon with a box so it can be taken care of. What do you think is wrong with the pigeon?

PS: Do u think it couldve been rabies? But I dont think that it is rabies because its wings flapped on my hand 3 times and i washed it about 10 times each time, and i never got sick. Well again, it may be cause i washed my hands.
