Birds of a Feather: Discussions

Hi,
I have a caique. She is 6 months old and so funny. She is a great family bird. Unfortunately it's hard to find books on caique mannerisms. She does so many things that I often wonder what she is trying to tell me...like bobbing her head up and down with a lil dance at the same time. If anyone has any recommendations that would be great!

Thanks!

Are there many bird watchers and people who love to feed the birds in the winter here on Ebay? I have some neat ideas on cheap bird feeders and ways to involve the kids. One of our favorites is to get a fat pinecone-fill it with peanut butter and roll it in bird seed and stuff the seed into the crevices. Hang it up and presto an instant bird feeder. The kids love making these!

JUST GOT TWO BIRDS FOR MY 3 YR OLD. I HAVEN'T HAD BIRDS IN A LONG TIME. HOW DO WE KEEP IT CLEAN? ARE THEY SAFE AROUND KIDS?

I am the proud owner of an Concur Parrot and his name is Goobee We are so excited he is about 4 years old and we love him already. I was just curious to know if anyone knows where to get a bird harness for him, and apparel for when we go out or on trips?

HOW TO REPLACE LIVE BIRD EGGS WITH
PLASTIC FAKE ARTIFICIAL EGGS


DIRECTIONS:

Leave fake eggs in nest until hen has no interest in them. You can just put them in all at once and take out the real ones. The sooner and the more eggs the better, but try not to let the birds see you do it.

Put in the number of eggs that she would lay in a clutch, plus more. She will reject the ones she does not want. Cockatiels ­usually need 7 to 9 fake plastic eggs. Fertilized eggs hatch in 21 days and another clutch can follow. It is best to leave the eggs in for as long as it takes, which could be months, before your hen looses interest in them.

Bonded pairs, male and female, will take turns sitting the eggs. They will defend their nest from intruders, so watch out when changing food and water daily. I have found a wide heavy shallow bowl placed at the bottom of the cage works nicely because I can see them and keep everything clean. Mama Bird comes out of her cage occasionally and takes her giant nesting poop, which is 4 times the size of the regular poop, don’t be alarmed. Poppa Bird, will sit the eggs when Mama’s on break and sings to her.

Most birds will not notice slight changes in size, color, shape, or texture. If it looks close to their egg they will generally accept it and do not notice the difference when the swap is made. A cover at night makes birds feel safe and secure to sit their nest in peace. A fresh sprig of millet and fresh cuttle bone will make for very happy birds. — Mel
