Birds - March 2007

I need help to train/learn him to eat on his own. He does eat his "poridge" (if I handfeed him!!), but does not want to eat his parrot food (seed). What do I do? He's got a huge cage-and his always outside it climbing and playing.

She is going around nibbling and chewing on all the bars of her cage. She is about 7 and this is a new thing that she has never done.

my back door and something fell,and it was daytime,and there he was on the ground moving slowly.He had been hanging above my backdoor and we had been going in and out all day, and i guess the screen door kept hitting him and he finally had enough, and fell and died.

Okay, so there's this bird that my mom and I have been looking for, for like ever. It's like a grey cheeked parakeet or somthing, and apparently they're really hard to find now.
She had one when she was younger but was forced to sell it after she had me, and really wants another one.
I don't know where to get them, and if pet stores even sell them anymore, because most of the pet stores in my city don't have many birds; except for cockateils and parakeets and stuff.

Can you help me?

It is mainly white, with charcoal spots. its neck is all charcoal and a white head. it has a pointy orange beak. and a nice white tailfeather. It also has an orange belly. I have never seen a bird like this and know it isnt a woodpecker or worbler.

Birds that are solid black in color...not black birds or crows.

About 2 months ago i was given 2 budgies-both male.Problem is they won`t shut up!At first they were in the lounge but we couldn`t hear the tv for them.I thought give them time to settle down as it is quite a noisy household.But no,they went on and on.Then i thought maybe they need some peace and quiet just until they settle in,so i put them upstairs in the spare room.The noise continued.As soon as the door opens off they go tweeting,squawking,twittering,whistling,like 2 lunatics non-stop,and even when door is closed you can come upstairs and off they go as soon as they hear you.I don`t know what it is that sets them off.I`m in another room now and they are at it as we speak, going barmy.Neighbours must be able to hear them all over the street and i live in a very quiet neighbourhood so it`s embarrassing.I see my neighbour looking up at the window like-what`s going on up there....?Does anyone have any idea what is wrong with them ?They eat and drink ok,but they do seem nervous of me.

Yes, I have fed baby chicks before. So, please no preaching or links to handfeed sites. I only need experienced answers here. they are 2 weeks old. My brooder is set at 93 degrees f. is that warm enough? or is it too warm? Most of my experience is with larger birds/macaws. I also have a 6 wk old cockatiel that I am feeding right now. I give her 15 ml of formula 3 times a day. sometimes a little more because she continues to beg. I'm kinda worried that she isn't getting enough. What is the max crop capacity for 6 wk cockatiel? also, I know to fill the crop until it is full but not bursting. But, I really would feel more comfortable having a guide to go by. any informed replies are greatly appreciated. I already have the link to the site "handfeeding step by step" I am wanting to know your personal schedule, amounts, and brooder temp tips please.

We are taking a week long vacation to the beach with another couple. We have a young (less than 1 year) gold capped conure. It will require traveling in the car for 7-8 hours, (1 way). I am not sure if it will be more stressful for the bird to take him with us, or if it would be more stressful for him to be away from us for a week. If we left him at home, my mom could come every day to feed him and spend a little time with him. Help!

My cockatiel is about 5 years old and came from a home (my cousins actually) where he was neglected (almost a bird for xmas sort of thing) and sometimes quite badly treated when making a noise. We’ve had him a few years - about 3 or 4 I think - and I recently took the role of his sole owner. Now he's my pet and my responsibility, and I've become his favourite, like his companion.
He's a good bird and a pleasure but I can't fully enjoy him cos I can't even handle him. He gets very nervous when my hang gets anywhere near him and just moves away. He approaches me now and then when my finger is poking through the cage, he has his head down as if wanting a stroke but never fully commits.
Is he too old to tame? Can i ever fully gain his trust?

I know all birds scream but to those who own one, does he/she scream extremely loud? Like a high pitched girl screaming her lungs out? When we got our umbrella, he was 10 years old. His owner had to move to another state to take care of her father and so she had to get rid of him because she could not take care of both. Is there any way for him to stop this? He does it every morning, all afternoon and sometimes at night.
Thanks,.

I used to shoo the greedy sods off as the other birds hadn't'a chance. I hope I didn't shoo too much as I never see one these days
