Ive tried to reward it with food for not eating it, Ive sat there shouting at it, I know its a natural thing for a pup to do. I just want it to stop.

I had a baby pool with water still in it out in my yard. I saw the following type of bird standing on the edge of the pool and I would like to know if this was an owl, hawk, etc.
The bird was very large, approx 2 feet long (wings not spread) an tan chest with white speckles. The bird's beak was hooked and yellow. The feet were huge. Three toes on each I believe. I tried to get a picture of it with my cell, but the bird flew high up into a tree. I have a wooded back yard, but live in a suburban area in VA.
This bird was absolutely breath taking. Thanks for any info. I have searched the web but found nothing. I have not seen the bird again either.

OK ALL MY adult female quails have started to loose neck feathers or back feathers. i was wondering could it be caused by the eggs using up all the calcium. or are they loosing them from mating? there are 2 females and lay lay about 4 eggs in about a day and a half.

Is it normal that my male eclectus parrot is horny? lol, from time to time you can catch him masturbating on his perch in his cage and if you're not careful he'll get fresh with you! It's not often but i'm assuming its normal?

This happened a while ago and has since not been a problem but I've always still wondered why it happened. I left my little quaker parrot, who i've had for years, one day for about a couple hours and when I came back there was blood all over his cage and he was missing a toenail and it was bleeding. We stopped the bleeding but for the next couple of days he continued to pluck out his toenails and bleed everywhere. Then, once they grew back in he left them alone other than the normal preening and cleaning as my other parrot does. Does anyone know what may have caused him to rip his little birdy toenails out? He is a well socialized and taken care of bird and he gets lots of attention and love and we are able to leave him alone when we need to to go somewhere without worrying about him. He's never done it since either. Just that one time! it was very scary too! But since he's been fine. If we want to leave the house for the day he's fine too. I just never why a bird would do this?

Well, I just bought a baby Sun Conure and while he was in the store he was always very quiet. Once I brought him home, however, he was quiet the first day and so far, since then, he's been ''yelling'' non-stop. The only time I get peace and quiet from him is when I leave him alone in a dark room for a while. I don't want to have to keep him in a dark room forever.

How do I teach him that he needs to be quiet? He is well fed, kept watered, loved as long as possible until I cant take his ''yelling'' anymore and he gets enough sleep. Am I doing something wrong? Please help!

By the way, he is about 6 weeks old at the time of this post.

My dad bought a greenish-blue colored bird, and he says, according to its old owner, that it's a parrot. I think it's a little too small to be a parrot, but I don't know much about birds or animals anyway.

here's a picture:


Can anyone tell me specifically what kind of bird/parrot I have?

he chirps/sqwaks whatever you want to call it 24/7, when the nest box was in the cage he and the female were both quiet now only the female is quiet, we cant put the nest box back in because the female will start laying eggs more frequently (she laid 12 and our vet told us to take both the eggs and nest box out, then she laid one more a couple days ago.) Is there a way to shut this damn bird up? he is driving me crazy!!!! i dont really want to put him through surgery because when he sings/talks its not as annoying as this damn screeching!!!!

My parakeet is getting older and his molting periods seem to get longer every time and more frequent. This time, his molting has lasted a few weeks. He is pretty sleepy and often has very watery bowel movements. (sorry, don't want to gross anyone out) One would think that he was just sick, but the reason I think he's molting is because he still has those "pins" on his head where feathers will grow in. Do older birds tend to do this? Are their bodies no longer capable of molting efficiently? I'm worried about my little buddy :(.

I was give a quaker gray parrot for Christmas, and I have been told that I now I cannot burn candles: because the bird will die. Does anyone know if this is true? I love my new pet, and I don't want anything to happen to him.

I have just bought a male canary and my husband has said that I should get a female one to keep him company and make him sing more...
Is this right or if I want him to sing am I better off keeping him on his own???

I know that budgies regurgitate - for their mates? But she is all on her own. She's been given a mirror (ages ago) and we think that she thinks this is another budgie - however she's never brought up seeds before.
we left her alone on christmas day - we needed to go to my aunty's (I felt really bad) - do you think this may have caused anything?We didn't keep the heating on, but put a cloth on her.
cage. She also stands on one leg -I asked about this before - and people said it was quite serious, and was something to do with the kidneys. But she has been fine, up until now - I asked about 3 or 4 months ago.
She seems quite sleepy and not her normal chattery self - and she is bringing up seeds - but not exactly being sick. She's not even looking into the mirror. is there something wrong?

I sure do not know if that is the correct spelling for these birds. Any way, I live in Michigan and we had snow for a short time. The bird was not seen. What a Christmas present from God, I saw the heroin in the stream yesterday. What do they do when it is freezing cold? What environment do they need to have to survive the winter?

I want to buy a new parakeet, and I heard that the younger they are, the better. The only pet stores near my house are Petco and Petsmart. Do you know how young their parakeets usually are? Is it possible for me to buy a very young one from one of these stores?
