I just got them about twos ago, and my one cockitiel I think is female picks and bites at the male I think he is male they have the matched markings of what I believe to be male and or female anyway.. she picks at his beak or bites it, at one point she made him bleed and there was blood lots of it all over my wall and the cage, so I seperated them for a while, then felt guilty and put her back in after a few days, although she doesn't pick at him as much or bite as much she is still doing it, but she haasn't picked or bite so hard to make him bleed this time, What and why is this and what should I do.... thanks in advance.

My uncle and I found a stray bird today outside of our apartment. We live in Hawaii, and so there are a lot of dirty birds and such. (The one we found is a Spotted Nape Dove) However, this bird looks sort of puffy, almost like it's swollen, but it's not pregnant, and I'm sure it's not just swollen for no reason.

What's wrong with it?

ok well i have a lovely cockatiel. tonight he has been really attached to me! he still will not sit on my hand or finger! he loves me im pretty sure because he gets upset when i leave the room or when im not right next to is cage. he really loves to get his treats every night out of my hand. i dont get why he still wont sit on my hand! does anyone have any advice how to get him to? i dont really think hes too scared, i just think that he may be kinda bossy or picky. he really acts different when im around than when my mom or my sis is around. when my mom puts her hand in his cage his flies everywhere and gets really upset but if i stick my hand in there he acts normal and just kinda looks at my hand. but you know if i get too close he tries to bite and runs away. the only time that he wont try to bite my hand is when i have the treat. so please give me your advice on how to hand tame him.

Today as I was walking to my car out side of the a library, I saw a wild dove being traumatised in the middle of the parking lot. If it was to be left at that spot a car would have kill it after awahile. I could tell the dove was in pain and couldn't even fly. I got a wool jacket that I had in my car, and got close to the dove and I picked it up from its wings and placed it under the tree.
I then left to go to the post office to mail some important documents.
I asked the clerk if she knows if there is a bird or animal rescue in the town...she had no idea!
I called up my brother Christopher to ask the same question...
He said to call the non-emergensy police line and ask...of course I didn't call them because I felt that they might think I am nuts or I am loosing it.
I then went to my house which is 3 blocks way from the library picked up a shoe box I had, threw some crackers in there and run out the door. When I got there the dove was DEAD...I froze and cried...

I got them as pups, however i never got papers on them so i have no idea how i would go about it? I know that they are both pure bred though but i have no proof of anyhting like that, or family tree? Would i be able to get them registered with any of the registries, and how would i do it?

My fiance and I are considering getting an African Gray parrot. He grew up with one, but it recently died of a heart attack/stroke as it was very overweight. Does anyone have any suggestions of good books to read? Or just suggestions in general? We do know of a very reputable breeder. But I just have experience with parakeets, and I didn't train them.

There is a Barred Owl, and Bald Eagle at my work that I get to look at every evening. Any facts about them would be welcome. They never seem bored to see me.

I just moved to Fl. and don't have a job yet so I bought this beautiful baby bird. Since I don't work he is out of his cage and w/ me and walking around on his cage all day is this unhealthy? about the tricks he seems a little to inquisitive to coentrate on tricks. Also when I got him he had bitten off his tail feathers he still has his baby colours will he bite his adult feathers off to? He is not plucking he is just bitting them off.

When i came home today there was a pile of feathers on the floor not whole feathers just little ones.
I just brought a new cage for her, do you think she is stressed out because of it? or is it something else?

we originally thought it was a boy as when we got him the people showed us how to feel the bones to see if they were closed or open (closed meaning boy coz the egg cant get through, open meaning girl coz there is a big space for the eggs to be layed) but now our bird looks like its trying to make a nest??? he has newspaper and stuff on the bottom of his cage and he is ripping it up and pulling it up over a log on the ground and he goes in under there. he did it a few weeks ago too but seemed to get over his phase but since we've cleaned his cage again and layed new newspaper and sandpaper hes doing it again. is "he" trying to make a nest???? does this mean my "boy" is a girl?? lol

And i was wondering is there a site where you can talk straight to an expert ornithologist?, or send him/her and e-mail a question?

The reason why I ask is because my lovebirds have been laying eggs (several times), yet not one has hatched successfully. Any advice on what to do or what may help would be great. Thanks!
