Birds - November 2006

I think that I can tell a dove from a pigeon because pigeons have distinctive markings- but a friend argues that the 'doves' are just pigeons with different markings. How can I prove that they are doves?

We have seen a few roadrunners in northwest arkansas for several months. was wondering where do they generally spend winter. I was under the impression that they lived farther south than here.

Not like dogs obvoiusly not like dogs (all those tail feathers) And does it hurt the mom bird to lay an egg? I know this is a stupid question but im curious... Please Help!

Could be a silly question but....... I have this really bushy low lying tree and there have been hundreds of tiny birds just making all sorts of noise for days. I live in virginia and its november, so obviously not mating season. The tree doesnt have seeds or anything...... maybe its winter coming or something? Im sure an orthinologist could answer it in a heartbeat.

I just noticed, about 20 mintues ago that my tiel is trying to make a bowel movement, but can't. He's trying over, and over again... but, nothing is happening for him. He's over 16 years old, and I've never seen this with him. Is there anything I can do for him? It's really breaking my heart (he's my baby...), and I feel there's nothing I can do for him...

I read on the internet to give him a warm bath, he won't settle down for one unless he wants it. So, that's not really an option.

I also want to know how long I should wait until I think about taking him to an avian vet, and if I should be worried... he seems fine otherwise... but, he just can't stop trying and pushing... I just changed the paper on the bottom of his cage, so I can check to see if anything is "happening".

Please.... anyone with any suggestions and experience let me know....

Thanks,
Susan

From what I understand you take different breeds and breed down through the generations, 4 generations are required by the AKC, and then a petition is circled and if enough people sign it becomes a recognized breed. Some breeds are hundreds of years old, some as new as a few years old. What is wrong with trying to breed down cockapoos in the same way to get them to "breed true"? Why are people so set in their ways that trying to create a new breed is unaccaptable? How old is the general population answering questions on here anyway?
