I have a back porch that is kind of screened in with a small doggie size door wasps have gotten in and not been able to find there way back out now there is a bird that is in that area but can not find its way back out. I do not know what kind of bird it reminded me of a humming bird with its long beak but it is by my guess the size of 2 humming birds. I hope it does not die.

They were rescued from a bus depot and have been living wild apart from the mechanics giving them food. If you try to touch them they spit. Otherwise they tend to hide under or behind things. At the moment I am leaving them alone so adjust to their new environment. I appreciate time will make them better but is there anything else I can do to bring them around.

Beak just enough so it doesn't hurt when they bite you?

not to allow prospective customers to meet their babies? I am considering purchasing an eclectus from a breeder that is 1500 miles away from me. So, I wouldn't be able to visit anyway. But, should I be concerned that they absolutely refuse anyone to visit their aviary and meet their babies? They say that it is for sanitary reasons that they do not allow anyone to visit or view their babies. Is this a normal practice or something i should be concerned with?

My friend and I have decided to raise chickens this summer. I have a small coop that, I think, can fit
8-10 chickens. We've never had chickens before and don't know what would be a good number to start out with. We want a flock that would be small enough to where it is easy to handle and take care of. Should we go with 6 chickens for the first year, or fit as many as possible into the coop? Thank you!

The owner says that he is a greater sulphur crested but he is only 16 inches which makes me think that he is a either a lesser or a medium. The bird is super sweet and loving and of course healthy. My concern is that he is already 3 years old. I know still extremely young for a cockatoo. I would be his 3rd home. The first home was with an old lady that couldn't take care of him anymore. The second home is with a breeder that bought him along with all of the other lady's breeder birds. He was not a breeder but a pet. He now lives with this family and their 3 kids. is extremely gentle and loving. he is very friendly and loving to me when I go to visit him. My worry is that moving him to a new house may upset him as he is bonded to the wife of this family. Is it going to be a fight to get him to bond to me and my family? Or will this be an easy task since he is already so sweet? suggestions from experienced people plz

I'm working on an idea to try to incorporate a policy amongst breeders and pet stores who buy from breeders to require people who wish to purchase large parrots to A) Take a class on nutrition, cage information (toy placement, toys, size, etc) and most importantly behavior. and B) To require that each purchase includes a one year membership to an exotic bird club that would put them in contact with others who have parrots and that could help them as problems arrise.

My question to you is what do you think this idea, and if you were to play devil's advocate, what would your problem with this idea be?

we have a 7 year old pet cockatiel and he just flies around the house. we havent been able to find him in 3 days (we always see him everyday) and we know he didnt get outside. however, we have searched the house and havent been able to find him anywhere. we think if he died of natural causes we would be able to find him. we kinda gave up on looking and now are just waiting to find him. but i was kinda confused i mean after 3 days if he was dead, wouldnt we start to smell it?

I've had my parakeets now for almost 2 1/2 yrs. They are both a healthy blue and white with one of them having a yellow head. The ceres were both a greyish blue hue. Now the one that is completely blue and white is changing. The face is turning a pinkish color and the cere is turning a pretty shade of blue. When we got them we named them Eowyn and Strider thinking the one with the yellow head was male. I think we got them backwards. I was told that the males had a blue cere but I didn't realize it took so long for the cere to change. Is it normal for the coloring to change at that age? Or is something else going on I'm not aware of?

I got a new parakeet on Tuesday and I still haven't named it. I believe it's a boy because the cere is a blueish color. He is only 3-4 months old so I can't be sure. I don't know what to name him..could someone help me with that? Here is a link to his photo:
