Bengalese Finch - Japanese Movchen

Athena

I received 3 finches for my birthday. Within about three weeks, they had laid four eggs. Okay, I thought, they aren't all going to hatch... Guess what. They all did. So now I had 7 finches. My cage was beginning to look awfully small, so we were gifted with a much bigger one from a friend of my father's. There was a catch, though; we had to adopt a new finch, this time a Zebra Finch. So now I had 8. They recently hatched another egg, I believe about four days ago. So now I have 9. Lovin' every minute of these wonderful pet birds.

Golden-mantled Rosella, Cecilia's Rosella

Gabriel S.

I've had my eastern Rosella for three days and she is starting to calm down a bit. The first day she arrived I was shocked by just how jumpy and anxious she was. I've been spending lots of time sitting by her cage talking, reading, singing, eating, etc... And, although she is still very fearful, I think she will come around. The family I adopted her from kept her in a tiny cage with very few toys. She doesn't fully understand playing yet, but I see her figuring it out. I'm bringing a male Rosella into my home in a few days and wonder if they will be compatible. He had a partner for a few months and she died. I would love to have them mate, is there anything I should do to encourage their union? Thanks!

Red-bellied Parrot

CONNIE

I have a red bellied parrot and he tries to feed me (regurgitate) every time I get him out. What can I do to get him to stop this? I had a female before this one from the same person and the same breeder pair and she died. A necropsy was done and she had waisting disease. She also tried to feed me, and I amd worried about my male. I was told there is no way to test for this till they die. Please can you help me with this?

Greater Patagonian Conure, Burrowing Parrot, Bank-burrowing Parrot

Annelie Dietrich

We are addicted to our Pattis. We have both a male and female, but not a breeding pair. These are the most awesome pets, noisy and rule the household, but lovable beyond words. Could someone advise me, if their birds have experienced any form of fits, similar to epilepsy. Out vet prescribed additional calcium feeding. Also the one bird is nearing 18 years old, and if they experience a loss of balance, and or disorientation. Can someone also advise the life span for these babies... Much appreciated. Regards

Sharp-tailed Conure

I have had my blue-crowned conure (Billy) for about 2 years now. He is just great! Everybody in the room in consumed by his amazing personality. I have taught him many things including : "what does a dog do?..he barks"; "what does a cat do?"..he purrs; "what does a cow do?"..he moos; and the usual give me a kiss, pretty bird, hello, hi, whistles, etc. He is an extraordinary animal. If anyone is considering getting one and you have the time and money to put into it, i would say GO RIGHT AHEAD! But one thing...be careful because they do learn how to scream.

Agapornis p. personata var.

kathy

I have 3 lovebirds, two are bluemasked and one red head. They are 8 months old and I'm trying to train them and I do not want to tramatize them. I talk to them and whistle and need help with their training. They have their own room in and out of cage, so they can not get hurt by hitting walls or getting lost upstairs or down until they are trained. Their names are Frick, Frat and Flick

Blue-fronted Amazon

crystal miller

I got a male and he will bite you when trying to get him out of the cage. After you get him out he's fine. We got him a week ago. The people we got him from says he talks, but we have tried to get him to talk and he won't. We ask them why he doesn't talk to us they say he has to get to know his new home. He is a 1-year old. I sat with him and talked and talked, can't get him to say anything, what can I do.

Gloster Canaries: - Gloster Corona ~ Gloster Consort

mal williams

My gloster hen was about 3 yrs old, we took it to the vets to have her nails cut and apple removed from her breathing holes on her beak. Sadly its heart stopped beating and it died. We noticed about a week before this it would fall off its perch and land at the bottom of its cage. The vet said it sounds if it had a underlined heart problem, does anybody know about this problem. We all miss it badly. Its name was flash. The reason I say it, we were told its a hen, but it sang beautifully all the time and was told hen's dont sing. R.I.P.FLASH.

Zebra Finch

lavanya

I have 5 zebra finches. They all used to fight but we separated them for a while and put them back together and they are perfectly fine. They get along so well they are like best of friends. They always share their house which is like a little nest, and I always have to remember to change the water and food everyday. I clean the cage once a week. They like having a bath so water should be available at all times, but I don't know how old they are.
