My lovebird hatched one chick and she’s been sitting on it or as it’s gotten bigger next to it for about three weeks since it’s hatched. However, I found her tonight sleeping on a different perch away from her nest. The baby is fine and it’s not cold indoors but I was wondering if the […]
Should I remove the eggs,in the past shehas broken them and eaten them,now she is trying to hatch them.
My healthy pair mated and now the female spends most of her time in the nest while her mate feeds her. This was an obvious sign of eggs in the wooden box nest. However, I didn’t open and check the nest fearing that it may stress her causing her to abandon her eggs. It seems […]

Over the weekend, I’ve noticed that Pumpkin has sat down and tried to stick her body inside of an orange food bowl, which isn’t all that weird but I’ve also seen her acting more frantic than normal. She usually sits on the perch almost all day long, only getting up to eat, drink, and occasionally […]

Should I purchase an incubator for the eggs? I have read all articles, blogs etc. about canary breeding time. I am honestly very distraught.
So I have successfully bred my two Cockatiels, but the female doesn’t seem to sit on the 4 eggs she has laid. I don’t want to use an incubator for hatching them, and decided to use a damp towel/bowl and a heat pad. But I don’t know if that would completely work for hatching them.
Hello Brenda. Yes they are over 7 years old, they have the right nest, a wooden one with wood sawings in the nest, they have laid eggs before and had little Macaws in a different nest, in a cage inside our house. This cage is out in the yard, and last year the eggs they […]
My cockatiel has started laying eggs, and I have taken the approach to take away the egg when she has laid it so she won’t spend a good part of the day just sitting on the egg. She has so far laid 3 eggs, on an every other day basis. If I do this will […]

Hi there! We’ve had our pair of society finches for around 2 months now. I’ve been supplementing their food with crushed hardboiled eggs to help them regrow feathers on their wings and tails. Not sure why they were missing so many crucial feathers (molting, damage from being housed with other birds at the store, stress?), […]
