babies

Hello everyone, I am super excited to be here. I have a lot of critters here on the farm including a male Cockatiel named REN and 2 babies I am handfeeding because their mama passed away the day they hatched. I have no clue why. They are growing and doing great! Check out my profile for more...

Hello - Can anyone point me in the direction of a green wing macaw breeder in Nor-Cal? Looking for a hand fed fully weaned baby. Thanks!!!

My cockatiels have..."done the deed" many times since Lucy flew away (thanks a lot dad) and they're gonna be parents soon. Of course ill be getting a new cage for the 2 babies I will be keeping, (I didn't even want two more parrots, I just wanted to keep Lucy, thanks again DAD.) and will be...

f These three siblings were born in January, so they're about 5 months old now. We had to remove them from their mother because they were getting plucked by her. You can see it in the green bird that his head is all funky, he was half bald for many months. I don't know if it's their colours...

How do you guys recommend weaning Indian Ringnecks and what age is okay to start? First time I'm handfeeding this species. He/she is currently 5weeks old and I've been hand raising for 3 weeks now. I have 4 birds I'm currently raising, two different pearled cockatiels and 2 Indian Ringnecks...

Hello, I'm Jamie and the owner of two Lovebirds. They recently hatched their first babies ever. It kinda went wrong from the start. The female laid the first egg on the ground instead of the nest. When i put it in the nest (with gloves) she laid the rest of them in there. There were four eggs in...

Hi there, I would appreciate any advice on this situation, I’m not sure if I haven’t noticed till now or it’s a sudden on set. But two of my babies have now purple feet. Pics attached. They are around 1 1/2 to 2 weeks old. Is this something I should be concerned about or is it just pigmentation?

Hello everyone. I am brand new to this forum, and hoping to find some fellow animal lovers to help me out. My husband surprised me with a pair of juvenile Indian Ring Necks just over 2 years ago. He was told that they "had not been socialized in awhile" and brought them home knowing I can tame...

Hi there! I just became the Parront of a little female, black-headed Caique named Bean. She is super sweet and friendly, however she is constantly making cries that sound like she’s asking for food. Anytime we pet her or hold her or approach her in any way she’ll start her cries. She seems very...

Howdy everyone! I was reading through some threads the other day and kind of got lost in them for awhile. Now I can't recall where I read this, but saw that folks in the Netherlands are considered to have vastly superior practices with regard to weaning baby birds than, say, Americans and their...

Hello, I just purchased a baby Indian Ringneck a couple days ago. I don't know the gender and haven't named it yet. It's about 8 months old and wasn't handled much at the store I got it from. It gets really scared if I stick my hand in the cage and runs away. I tried taking it out of the cage a...

I took in a parakeet couple several months ago and immediately put them in separate (yet still touching) cages. The female laid eggs and I had to put them back together. I'm having a hard time getting her to stop laying eggs but I'm having a worse time getting the babies to survive. She is a...

I was given 2 gcc by a lady who didn't want them anymore. I didn't know what age or sex they were until today. Now I'm pretty sure which is which after watching their behavior just now. My question is now what do I do??

Hi. My name is Toni. My conures just had a clutch of eggs. I have hand reared babies but this time i am letting her do it herself. I just want to make sure i am giving her the proper nutrients to help her babies grow. What are the best food to feed my conures right now? Any food i ahould...

I am looking for some African grey breeders in California. I have found a few that I have gotten touch with but am looking for others because they have turned out to be false breeders. Does anyone have any babies as of now? Very interested.

So I previously mentioned I had a baby girl kakariki on reserve from the breeder but the last group of babies didn't work out for me due to time constraints. But so it looks like this will be the bunch that I will, more likely than not, be getting a new baby from once weaned. The chicks are only...

I need someone to tell me how to care for these baby birds. I've never bred birds before. I know that patience and time is needed, and I know that the lives of these babies are in my hands. Someone please tell me the next step! Thank you so much! :orange:

:grey: Hello! You can call me lucas or green when referring to me. I have two cockatiels right now. One is named ariel (she is white and grey) And another name patience (black and white and some yellow around the neck). I bought patience from a bad breeder. I was promised the bird was a girl...

Hi there, I'm in the process of "doing my research" on green cheeks--although I've never owned a bird before, I've certainly had pets in my care, and I know myself to be a thorough and responsible person capable of lots of love and attention. My husband and I are just waiting until we find a...

I'm in a dilemma! I have 3, 7 day old zebra finches and one that is 6 days old. They all seem very healthy and have tripled their size. Crops always seem to be full. My concern: the nest is COVERED in poop. Parents poop, babies poop, everyone is pooping everywhere!!!! I'm worried this is not a...

Hello all, I live in the Tampa area in Florida. I have three baby lovebirds, they got to be around 8-9 weeks old. I have to find them good homes. Does anyone have any suggestions on doing this? I'm afraid of letting my babies go because you never know if the person will take good care of...

So, after months of talking it through me and my fiance decided to get a mate for my birdie. We are doing extensive research into breeding and i cannot figure out which Incubator would fit the egg correctly.. What are your suggestions as to which incubator? I would like one that i can adjust...

hi, im looking to get my macaw about November time but whilst looking forward to it i thought "will there be babies about at the time". like can they breed at any point or is it only certain times of the year (for instance they only breed feb-april etc.) ive tried to search the net but all i...

Hello. I have begun to hand feed a small sun conure chick (1 3/4 weeks old) since its parents for some reason killed its older 2 week sibling. I do not know why, but its left me heart broken. So I decided to hand feed the remaining chick. Well, I went to visit a friends friend who has been a...

Okay well I've been looking for some help for quite some time now for my Sun conures. I currently have 8. It all started with my pair which I didn't know at first until the female laid 3 eggs. So in December of 2011. They turned 1 year old 2 months ago. Okay so now in the beginning of January...

hey im catherine, i am 18 and living in melbourne, australia. at this point in time i own 3 beautiful green princess parrots (petrie, 7 hand tame and the biggest sook) (2 un-named as i only got them last week and i havent thought of suitable names, not tame, 15 weeks, aviary birds) :green2...

Ziggy and Forest now have 5 babies! we're going to hand raise them.. we're started the oldest 2 already :) here are some pictures of the 2 that are hand feeding now:

My female lovebird had her first clutch a couple months ago and there was a question that was bugging me for a while. My female laid five eggs in total and all hatched. Something I noticed once that 5th one hatched was that she stopped feeding the two youngest, while the oldest were nice and...

The babies are already 3 weeks old and I'm handfeeding them, the oldest has green feather tips and black feather tips towards the end of the wings. The baby itself is a dark gray color and the fuzzy feathers are whitish. The beak has a black top towards the nose and the end is orange. The...

i just don't get it! i have 1 proven male and 1 proven female society finch. they are definitely a pair, and they have bred multiple times. both are old enough, and she has laid eggs before, one was normal sized but infertile, and the other was a third of the size it should be, and also...

Hey everyone, I need help comparing and contrasting between two diffrent birds… a Hahn Macaw and a Turquoise Indian Ringneck. For the past year or so I've wanted a bird and I've done a ton of research on which bird would best suit my family and I. I've narrowed down my search to a Hahn macaw...

I am a new Pi owner and I found this weird thing my baby does.... When he is on the couch with coverlet on to prevent him from pooping directly on it, he would tuck hisself in the corner and make him self flat and let me scratch his head, ok, that's just cute not weird. He then start to wheeze...
