If this is plausible, has anyone run over one?

Are they as big as they are portrayed in the cartoonies?

I want to take that fright out of him! help me, what should I do?

I was wondering how much the H5N1 bird flu vaccination cost (avian bird flu), I was told that it was $500.00, that can't be right can it? That's wy too much for a vaccine.

So, just today, I came home, and found that my uncle had caught a parakeet that had been found, sitting on my deck. I'm guessing he was a pet that ended up escaping, for he's very tame, easy to handle, and has a band with the numbers "36" around his leg. While I contemplate on keeping him, I also wonder if I should perhaps give him to a pet store or something. He's a rather old parakeet, at least around five years and up,and I fear that taking him in now may cause a lot of unwanted stress upon the bird, despite I know that parakeets love having human company. However, I was not about to leave him in the wildnerness. The United States is not their home country, and they are mostly suitable for pets, not wild animals. Or so I think. So I dunno, I need advice on what exactly to do with the parakeet. Suggestions would be greatly welcome!

ive had my parakeet for more than a year, and have been trying to tame it ever since...now i have found a bird specialty store that "buys/trades" birds.. but i dont know the meaning of that exactly.

im planning to buy a hand-fed/ hand-tame cockatiel or parakeet.

should i keep on trying to tame my old one or should i trade it and buy a new one?

could anyone tell me if an emu would be a good pet, considering it being in a 400 m2 space? and not just to have it there, but to interact with other people and maybe animals, I'd like an answer from someone who has been with them also, and not just a "yes theyre wonderful" response but the pros and cons, are they smart? how do they smell, would they be aggressive in any situation if you raise them from chicks, etc

I've read that hand raising a bird makes them a bit more tame and ever tempered. I know that hand raising a bird is hard and some people prefer letting the parents take care of that, but what I wanted to know is:

Does hand raising a pet pigeon or dove from birth help make them a bit more even tempered and calm or does it make things harder on the bird and the owner?

No jokes or wisecracks allowed!

Would like to know from someone who has done it before. I only want to know this for future usage


Thanks!

Just a simple yes or no is all I need. No best answers for long answers so don't bother, links are okay even though you don't need to post them for me.

I recently adopted a parrot from a family member. This particular parrot, BaeBae an African Grey, is 22 and has never had his wings clipped, been to the vet, or even been out of his cage. (Yes, I know it's terrible! I hope to change all of this!)

I've had him about 2 weeks, and while he is eating very well and talking up a storm, he won't let me near his cage. He is a biter! I know this is because he is just not used to people coming to play with him.

I really want to be able to play with him and bring him in for a much needed check-up. I am absolutely not going to give up on him. I work with him every chance I get during the day (my poor dog is getting very jealous). Can anyone give me some advice on how to calm him down and stop the biting?

I have 3 water dishes in their room. Every day this week, one has had ONLY yellow Zupreem pellets, another ONLY purple Zupreem pellets, and the last ONLY red Zupreem pellets.

They don't do this with any other brand of food (I alternate).

I know other parrots do this (ya, and this is a stupid fun question :-) . How does your bird dye or mess up its water?

and she tends to pick at it every so often. I know she's not trying to sleep...her eyes are wide open, and her behavior hasn't changed any. Is her foot just sore? Any input is appreciated. Serious replies only. Thank you!
