    New Budgie Owner Here- Need help with nest

    I adopted a bonded pair of Budgies. I had no intention of breeding or anything like that, however, they came with their cage and all accessories, which included a little nest in the cage. I was not educated on the mating habits or hormonal cycles of Budgies, and Duchess laid 9 eggs starting on...

    Dangers of Abundance Weaning?

    This is no doubt going to be a controversial topic, but I’d like to see what you all think. I was once a big supporter of the ‘don’t stop hand feeding until the bird rejects formula’ mindset, but I’m near changing my mind to an extent. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with having a bird...

    Urgent My Female cockatiel just suddenly died

    Hello, Today I found my female cockatiel, 4 years old, who up until this point was a seemingly healthy parent dead inside her nesting box, I have no idea what the cause of her death was, she seemed very healthy this morning and there was no blood or signs of broken bones. She had food in her...

    Pictures I think you guys might like these baby Robins

    They fell out of a tree while the local falcon was having a snack early July. Both were brought to the SPCA the day they became orphaned and I don't have them anymore, but I had them just long enough to snap photos. They both arrived at the SPCA in good health.

    Lovebirds smell - w/ Poll

    Without coming across as weird, I love how my lovebirds chicks smell! Did/do yours smell nice too? My adult lovebirds smell really good, but the chicks smell sweeter.

    No more!

    Hi guys, I´m currently researching and finding information on how to reduce or stop egg laying. My untame hen Aldora is a machine, she never stops laying and it can´t be healthy. I found her on Oct 3 2017 on my doorstep. So she´s been with me a year and 3 months. Age unknown - no ID band. She...

    How to Re-home Budgies and Tell If Bird is Egg-Bearing??

    So, I keep on asking questions about birds today! Sorry! But this question isn't for me, its for my friend who actually made me realize I really wanted budgies in the first place! I'm going to call her Phoebe. So Phoebe and I were recently looking at her budgies, and we realized that one...

    First bird as second's surrogate?

    I have a 10 month old cockatiel who I'm pretty sure is a girl. If I were to introduce a second bird to keep her company, I've heard it's better to introduce one of the same species. But when she begins to lay eggs, what if I put an egg in there... of a completely unrelated bird? Say if I were to...

    A mate for my parrot? Oblivious owner.

    Hi guys! I'm in need of some help. I've had my female 14 y/o Congo for 13 years, but I think she could be happier if she were not in an indoor cage and got more attention (I live in a coop so she lives with my parents). Someone coming over to do house repairs saw her and said he has been...
