I'm not sure what kind of toys would interest her, because i don't think she would enjoy the bells and shredders that my conure does. Do they like mirrors?
Oh and one quick question has anyone ever gotten a canary to sit on your finger or shoulder?

ok so i have 2 cockatiels & they had eggs. & first one of them hatched. & then they threw the baby out of the nest & my brother had to put it back in the nest & then after like one week, the baby dies & we dont know how it happened, we were thinking it was one of the bird that did cause he is really aggresice when he doesnt get his way.
& then the same thing happened when another edd hatched, the didnt throw it out but it also died.
is that normal?
& also, next time an egg hatches is it ok to take care of it by ourselfs?

i have been searching the net over the last few months for information on buying an african grey and i am going to see some breeders over the next few weeks. i "THINK" i know most things about them from what i have read on the net but im looking for some more info from real people who have owned these birds as pets. i hear they can be one person birds? i live with my partner, my labrador, my 6 year old son at weekends and my partner and i are expecting another baby anytime soon.
my main question is, what should i do withing the 1st 12 hours of purchasing the bird and bringing him/her home? and also what is the best things to do over the 1st week?

When I play Duran Duran my birds go nuts and sing along with it. They only have done this in the past for Miles Davis.

If people sold tame, hand reared finches, would you want to buy one? What species?

Me personally, I would love a small flock of tiny finches following me around. :D

(and no, I'm not considering hand rearing finches, heh)

for Conures. He has a Conure that was picking at some catnip. Does it effect birds like it does cats?

Thanks!

There was this Parakeet that went into a bar and asked the bartender for some peanuts. The bartender said "No we don't have any peanuts." Then the parakeet left the bar. The next day the parakeet came back to the same bar and asked the same bartender the same question "Do you have any peanuts?" So then the bartender again said the same thing that he had none. This went on for a week and finally the bartender said to the parakeet, "If you come in here and ask that GD question one more time, I'm gonna nail your beak to the bar counter." The next day the parakeet came back in and this time asked, "Do you hae any nails?" The bartender said, "No." Then the parakeet asked, "Do you have any peanuts?"

hahaha! You got any good pet jokes? Did you like mine?

In NYC - The bird was clutching onto the outside grill of my air conditioner and squawked everytime we tried to get near it. It wasn't stuck, it just didn't want to leave. All animal agencies closed (10:30/11pm Sunday night).
Would you wait until first thing in the morning and call Animal Care & Control agency/ASPCA (if it's still there - at the sight of things, it wasn't going anywhere (and no, it wasn't injured)) to rescue it or do something more immediate? ...any other options?

I really want to tame my three parakeets but I researched and it said that it's better to clip their because then they can't really fly well. But I don't know how. I don't want to go to the vet because my parents don't want me to go to an avian vet for them. A website would also be great. Tell me the materials that I need when clipping my parkeets wings and how to handle them when I'm clipping their wing feather. PLS help.

I have put up feeders for the squirels and they keep comming to my bird feeders to eat up all the food. I don't mind them eating too, but they have become little piglets! They eat untill all the bird feed is gone waisting alot of it on the ground. I have even put out the sunflower seeds that they like and they still come back for my bird feeders.
