My bird suddenly started walking in circles, making a little chirp sound and has his mouth open. I had taken him to the back office where the guys were in earlier, drinking, smoking and whatever else. How sensitive are these birds to lingering fumes in the air? Although it was hours earlier.

How long is too long to lay an egg? My lovebird is trying to but is it stuck or is this normal?

Is felt a dangerous material if he ingests its fibers? Are […]

Hi! I have 6 canaries living in a big cage together. One of my canary’s left wing is droopy. I do not think his wing is broken, because he can move it and even fly a little. His behaviour has not changed much, he is still active and likes to eat, but he clearly does […]
