Hello everyone, I am a new member as of today. Myself, my familly, and our feathered friends live in Washington State.
I love birds and I have had birds in my home for at least 30 Years now.
I currently have 2 Bourke Rosies, 2 Green Cheek Conures, and a Hahn Macaw.
I like to think I am fairly knowledgeable about birds as I am the type of person that possibly over reads up on subjects before tackling them, but recently was not prepared for my conures who decided to lay eggs despite not having a nesting box.
Not having the heart to dispose of the first egg on the bottom of the cage, I went out and got them a nest box and to my surprise we now have 7 eggs. Cheeky and Ripley apparently are overachievers and tried to go for the maximum capacity. :03:
Although I have hand fed larger birds before and I have read up a lot and now feel somewhat prepared with all the normal and emergency needs (brooder, hand feeding formula, added calcium, etc.) I came across this page and joined in the hopes of having some back up in case of any unforeseen surprises, which I have no doubt there will be.
I look forward to getting to know everyone.
