Hello. I have just bought a male Canary and he tries to sing, but no sound comes out. It isn’t that he just isn’t singing. It’s that he’s trying to sing and no sound. He opens his mouth and his throat and tongue move and he looks like a singing canary! Could air sac mites […]
Hello, I have a male and female Zebra finch. Early in April they laid a couple of eggs in as many days, and then each day they both ate the eggs soon after she layed them. A few days later the female laid 4 eggs in as many consecutive days and then they both started […]

Hi, a mourning dove laid eggs on the lamp in my porch. The lamp has a flat top. Unfortunately two eggs fell of. The dove was alone, though I saw another mourning dove with a mate so maybe they are the same bird. The dove sat staring at the broken eggs for a little while. […]
One of my female Zebras had been sitting on an egg for a while, but after a few weeks and seeing no progress with it, I took it out. Ever since then (three days ago), though, she’s been sleeping a lot more. She is eating, drinking, preening, and bathing, but has just been sleeping a […]

Yes, they are wild and outside our sliding glass door. I’m not sure what you will be able to answer for me. I’m beginning to think the mother abandoned after the chicks were born. There are 3 chicks in the nest that the male seems to be feeding. I’ve noticed several other males coming to […]
I have finches that have nested, and successfully had 2-3 chicks. (Wild birds) Now I occasionally see multiple males checking the nest. Once in a while, one chases the other away.

I keep periodically, hearing a strange noise coming from around his cage. I hear it as he is chirping. I can only describe it like a static type noise. Or a paper rustling. I have tried to pin point the noise and it’s not coming from the light nor the surge protector in the area. […]

Hello, I have 3 males Zebra finches in my small aviary. Two seem to have formed a bounded pair and seem very happy together, leaving the 3rd one quite lonely. They used to include him in their grooming, but since the breeding season started, the pair stopped accepting the third one. I feel bad for […]
I found 2 little blue bird eggs in my mailbox. I previously noticed a bird flying in & out of my mailbox. It hasn’t been back to the nest in over 3 months, that I’ve noticed. Could the baby birds still hatch. If so how long does it take.

I’m absolutely comforted with your answer to my question today “Zebra Finches’ behavior” (re: Leo and the boys). I will follow your guidelines, even though it breaks my heart to part with any of this adorable family. The babies have had a great beginning. I won’t let it happen again. The nests will be taken […]
Hello, A surprising event was when my pair of Zebra Finches hatched eggs producing 3-healthy baby boys. At 6-wks (ungrateful) a baby male (2) chased, squawking after their dad, at dusk. Odd. I am aware: remove nests, etc. so I did and it made no difference – 2-nests in/out/back in. They really like sleeping in […]

I realize this is very parrot centered but regarding a canary – how many regular dried mealworms in a week? Not gut loaded worms.
