Yes birds are beautiful, but in the bird world it's the males that are the more colourful for the mostpart.

Regardless, who started this? Why?

Someone who wanted to have sex with the barnyard chickens?

She dosen't have a mate so the eggs are unfertilized and she will not stop laying them. The first started laying at the end of May and I took the eggs out about 9 weeks after that. Then a week after all the eggs were gone she layed 8 more eggs.

I have 3 Baby Cockatiels that where born October 18th and they still look like they are newly hatch, they are still pink covered with yellow down; eyes closed, feet, beak, and claws flesh-colored but they are getting bigger but nothing else is happening. It is NOT inbreeding for I bout the parents at 2 different pet stores, can it be that they do not have all the vitamins and minerals from the food the parent are feeding them (99% of the food in there crop is millet) so, should I start hand feeding them?
Please do help me out!!

My cockatiels have always lived indoors but I'd like to build them an aviary in the garden to give them more space to fly about in. Is it best to wait until next summer to move them outside or will I be able to move them outside now? Will they be too cold or will they be OK? Thanks

We had a male Cockatiel in with her until around June when for whatever reason he passed away. We're unsure of why he died, but we adopted him only a few months before that. He had a clean bill of health. before he passed, they were showing the tell tale signs of a courting ritual and everything, but nothing ever came of it.

i just noticed about 10 minutes ago that she was laying on an egg. it looks to be normal size for a cockatiel. there is no nest box, so she made a nest out of the wood pellets that we use as a substrate. I know that they can lay non-fertile eggs, but I was curious if a cockatiel hen can store sperm until she is ready to fertilize an egg?

Is there anything else I need to do for her?

I have researched different filtration systems and I believe that some of them may still emit ozone even though they don't specifically say. Has anyone used a particular one with an Umbrella Cockatoo and/or a Severe Macaw? This is a serious matter to me because I have asthma and I love my birds, so please, no puns or jokes. Thank you.

Yesterday I gave a parrot a home because its current owner had a young baby and could no longer spend the time she used to with the parrot. The bird had been plucking its feathers and the vet says there is nothing physically wrong - it is heathly.

We brought the poor bald bird home and set up its cage in the conservatory so it can see outside and it appears to be contented.

I am looking for advise on a couple of things (I have had cockatiels and budges so have plenty of experience of looking after birds).

How do I stop him pulling out his feathers - I've never come across this before.

And he has been a free flyer up until now, however he poo's everywhere. Is it okay to let him out for a while then put him back in his cage?

How do I keep the neighbors cats away from my wild birds that I feed? They are catching them, tearing them apart and leaving them lay about....this must stop....but how?
I spoke to the neighbors and they don't care, they say it is what cats do.....As much as I want to kill them, I can't....as that would be wrong in my opinion....so what can I do to make them not come back?

She is a St. Bernard. She urinated 6 times within a hour. She hasn't done anything like this before today. I am concerned that she might have an infection.
