i know that you can feed your lovebirds peas but can you just take them like straight out of the garden say? and if you feed them broccoli do you need to cook it first or just wash it very well?

I've noticed these past few months that at any given hour through the entire night, birds are full on singing. I've never heard them like this... is something wrong? 9pm...11pm..12pm..2am.. you name it, they're singing.

All these birds are bigger than wild turkey and can fly long distances.

Our 4 year old cockatoo has been picking his feathers out(over a period of months) to the point he has bare keel area of breast. skin color shows through at top of wings and tip of tail kind of macerated.
He has been treated for mites, bathes once or twice a week under sink spray, spends several hours at assorted times to fly free in house and get in trouble, says 20+ words and is not seemingly in a stressful environment.
Recently we hit upon the idea of covering his adequate sized cage when the sun sets. If not he has been staying up until 10PM with light and TV. Now covered, he seems to go to sleep and appears a little better. Too soon to tell definitively.
Do most people cover their pet bird at night. He doesn't seem to mind. Note Diet is adequate

I have a collection of parrots and I would like to know the best fly repellant I can use in the same room as them. Parrots have very economical respiritory systems and are very sensitive to fumes so I'm after something that won't interfere with their health. I was thinking that citronella candles would be good but I'd like to hear some feedback from any bird-keepers that can offer me some good advise before I use anything.

My parakeets escaped from their cage last week. We found one right away, and the other one disappeared for five hours, finally found it under the radiator. Now both birds dont chirp and sing as much. Is this because they are scared and shaken from the incident?

Please, I need a lot of help about this.
Today I've found 4 baby sparrows at the garden. They're nest was upside down. It was supposed to be somewhere under the roof.
Now they're mother cannot look after them anymore.

I don't know what I have to do now. How should we feed them, how warm should they stay, where should ı keep them?????
Their eyes are yet closed, they don't have feathers and they keep on opening their mouths.
Please help. I don't want them to die...

Big bird lover here... We have three Robin fledglings in our yard that we think left the nest too early. One of them just started to fly and we think he made it but the other two are 2/3 of their sibling's size! I wanted to take them in but thought they are better of with their mom, who I have seen on regular intervals. This morning one of them was lying dead on the lawn. Should I take his "brother" in or let nature run its course?? I still see mom around.. They are so cute and it bothers me that they may be hungry...etc. Thanks!

The bird has some adult feathers, but mostly soft baby 'down.' I've successfully raised baby sparrows and starlings with a cooked rice and mushed dog food gruel, would it work for a pigeon?

There is a robin's nest on my porch with four baby robins. They are now growing feathers and are spotted. When I went out today to look at them I noticed hundreds of teeny tiny bugs all over them and the wall behind them. They were even crawling all over my feet. I didn't see these critters before they got feathers(don't know if that will help). I have know idea what these bugs are and hope they aren't a problem for the birds or my kids and I.

I have a pair of cockatiels about 3 years of age. I've had them since they were very, very young. They are tamed, and I know for sure that one is male, the other is female.

The female is a couple months younger, and is Lutino.
The male is a normal grey.

I have a nest box set up for them and everything, when I open it, they mate for about a week, lots of times a day, and lay a clutch of eggs. But they are NEVER fertile.

I let my female lay 2-3 clutches a year, and over the past 2 and a half years, TWO chicks have ever hatched [out of a clutch of three, around christmas time] Unfortunately, due to first-time parenting, they weren't able to properly care for their young.


Does anyone have any ideas/suggestions? I've already asked my vet and he wouldn't give me a straight answer. Maybe there's something I can do?

It keeps throwing up the sesame seeds in its food, it gets all over his beak and everything. Ive tried switching food, but it will still throw up. Its been doing it for a while now. Does anybody know what could be wrong with it ?

My young green masked lovebird is now 11weeks old and I'm unsure about the weaning. I've weaned a lovebird before and that was actually quite easy, only this one wants nothing to do with anything other than his formula and some of his treats. I'm quite desperate, since I have to go away for a week at the end of June and can't take him with me. My fiancé can feed him but we can't keep feeding him forever.
If anyone has a link to a site or some useful advice that I could use I would appreciate it very much. Plus you could get 10 points =)

Hi - I have an Amazon bird that has worn away a lot of paint from the bird cage. I have bought a new one but it is smaller than the old one so I would like to refinish the old one. Is it safe to just spray paint it with white rustoleum? It has proven a little difficult to find a place that will sand blast and powder-coat a large cage.

When I look up at birds in the sky, a lot of the time you see a hawk or large crow or eagle and they always seem to have these little black birds that seem to be dive bombing them or attacking them. I have always been curious about that. Anyone have more information to enlighten me???
