Birds - December 2007

I have one lovebird and it is shy. It won't get on my finger unless I force it to. She has a lot of toys and a mirror but everytime she looks at the mirror she goes crazy. I don't know if I need another one to keep her busy?

one of them have a white/tanish cere. and one of them have a dark pink color but it has tannish areas. the pink one is very young because the stripes go all the way, he cant be more than one year old because the metal ring around his leg says 07. im not sure about the white/tan one because the head doesnt have stripes.

His brother and he got their wings clipped when they were younger. The older one's wings grew back but the younger one's didn't. His feathers are often fluffed up and disarayed and he won't let me mess with his wing to look at it too much. Sometimes when he's preening it he'll squak agitatedly. His older brother'll peck at him sometimes, though that could just be a sibbling thing. I don't know... should I be concerned about his wing?

I noticed that my moms parakeet wasn't using one of his legs. After careful examination I found that his leg had swelled around his leg band. Hours later I finally removed his metal leg band and his leg was freed. But it was left with his skin exposed. I applied an antibactial. The next morning I checked on him and he was eating and drinking just using the other foot.

What can I do to help him heal?
What do you think caused the swelling?
Should I wrap up the leg?

Any advice will be gladly appreciated.

I recently moved my one silkie bantam into the computer room and I had an idea: go to youtube.com and play silkie bantam clucks and such. We're getting 2 more silkie bantams in Spring b/c they don't have them in the winter. Is it a good idea to keep playing these sounds? Or will she think that she was spoken to and then left after the video is over? What else can I do to keep her company until Spring?

I have a Peking duck. She lays an egg almost every day. She lays extra large jumbo eggs. She has laid an egg within an egg several times. The outer layer is thin but solid. The next layer is all egg white. Then there is a fully formed normal extra large egg. The whole egg is extremly large. It looks like a goose egg. The egg is as big as a grown man,s large hand in lenghth and is almost as large around. I am going to take a picture and mesurements on the next one. We live in North Carolina and I feed her and my two Kaki Campbells regular laying mash from Southern States feed. Thanks for the help. She is a very good duck and her name is Ms. Quackers and she has never been bred so the eggs are not fertile and I pick up the eggs everyday.

I have a question about my lutino cockteil's eating habits.... for a REALLY long time now, by bird has been eating a lot of paper... people say that there's something missing in his diet, and I think that's it... we had cuttle bone for him... and it just hit me that we threw it away a long time ago because it went bad... we can get that anytime, and I know he needs it, but is that the reason he eats paper (and sometime these wood straw chairs in our sun room...!) HELP!

I was wondering if anyone knew of a variety of banty chicken that laid relatively large eggs for their size. My sister and I have a little flock of pet banties (two Silkies, three banty Modern Game hens, and a Seabright rooster) and we want to expand the flock and get some more hens that would get along nicely with the ones we currently have. My mom has been complaining about not having enough eggs, so banties that lay somewhat larger eggs than the average banty would be nice.
Thanks!
