If I wanted to take up bird watching, where's the best place to look for a bird's nest?

I live in townhouse complex in the city, there are some pigeons that live in the complex, but that's about it.

Anyone got any advice for this?

I'm thinking of hand raising a pigeon, I plan to get one from a friend later on this year. I've done my research and have a few basic supplies.

But does anyone have any tips for hand raising?

Also do they have to be in a pair or can I get just one? If they need to be paired, how do I know which two are an "item" when I buy them?

He's not poorly and he's been to my local vet, but it's irritating him. He keeps sneezing and scratching at it. It has built up gradually over a period of about a year, and now his nostril is completely blocked. The blockage is the same colour as the skin around the nostrils, and it isn't lumpy, and there's no discharge. Anybody seen this before?

Ok, please don't answer with 'take her to vet'. I need an informed answer only. How long after they start dropping huge droppings and staying in the nest box ALL DAY do you have to worry about her being egg bound?

I was wondering If you had to keep quails in pairs as I have a patio aviary which as you can assume is not overly large but I would like to get a quail to help keep the bottom of the cage clean,eventually I will be getting a large aviary built but would like to get just 1 for now if I can.

I just bought 2 parakeets today. They're really small and they're clipped; however, they seem really scared of me. The blue one (Charm) was really2 attackive when the shopkeeper took it outta the cage; the green one (leaf) was very willing to come out and into the lil box. i tried to touch the blue one, but it hated it, and started flapping all around, so i didn't anymore. Leaf was okay, and moved a bit when i touched its wings.

These are my first birds, so I don't know much about them. How do i get them to feel comfortable around me? When should I try to touch them again? Should I leave a cloth over their cage for a while? Any advice is appreciated. thanks!

I bought some sisal rope, wood beads, bells, coconut shell, and jute twine to make some birds toys. I did research and choose all the things that were said to be safe... EXCEPT

after spending hours making all the toys, I showed my husband who promptly noticed a smell coming from the jute twine. He said it smelled like kerosene, which I guess is sometimes used as a preservative? I could not smell it do to a cold.

Why would people write articles telling me its safe to use jute twine if there is kerosene on it? Is it actually safe?

Is there any way to get it OFF of the rope? I spent hours making the toys and I really hoped I could use them. We thought about maybe soaking it in oj or possibly rubbing degreaser hand cleaner on it and letting it sit.

If its not going to work, I guess Ill have to take it apart. :(

Also are the bells from the craft store ok to use? I read something about metal poisoning

My peach-faced lovebird whose about 9 months old has been leaving brown-green droppings instead of his usual green droppings. He's been getting alot more vegetables and rice lately, is it a diet change thats affecting his stool or something I should be concerned with?
