My two parakeets have become obsessed with each other! I know they are both males, so it is not a mate issue. You can no longer take one of them out of the cage to play without them screeching and they immediately fly back to the cage! Also- their food dishes that came with the cage I had before I bought are rather deep, so when I put their food in there, they have to lean in to them to get their food, and then all the seed they have popped open just falls back down in the dish. I feel like I am wasting food when I dump out their dishes because the good seed is at the bottom. Do I need to get a smaller dish, or should I just leave the food in there and let them dig for it? Any advice would be great!

I was at the pet store the other day when I saw this white spotted cockatiel, but the people that worked there failed to tell me exactly what kind of cockatiel she was. X0 She was white with small brown spots at the end of each feather. Not dark brown, but more towards tan. Does anyone know what kinds she is? I really want to by her, but I want to know what kind of bird she is first.

While I'm at it, what are good measurments for a cockatiels cage?

Also, what kinds of food (besids bird food) do they eat?

To most need a cage mate? If so, how many?

And...that's all, I'm done. Thankies!

I got a new parakeet/ budgy and I cant think of a name for him. If I dont come up with a name soon he'll be stuck with "Pinky Toes" (cause his toes are super pink)

Some of my zebra finches escaped, I feel terrible. :( They left behind 3 babies. They have not fledged yet, but they have all their feathers. So far I've had them for a day and a night.

I'm at least trying to keep them alive, instead of just leaving them. Here's what I'm doing, please tell me if I'm doing it okay or if I'm completely wrong (I have NO experience with this sort of thing!).

I feed them once every 4 hours. I'm using Avione Hand Rearing Formula.

They are in a shoe box with the lid open a crack. there is paper towel and a tea towel on the bottom, and they are in a plastic container with tissues and feathers. I put a shot glass of water in there for humidity or whatever, not sure if it's working.

After phoning 7 pet stores, a pharmacy, a vet and an electrical store, I had no luck finding a heat pad so I put the shoe box on my electric blanket with the setting on low.

(continued in additional notes)
