Australian Birds How to train and play with australian parrots?

Question by Rock: How to train and play with australian parrots?
I have bought 2 australians parrots.Dont know about their breed.One yellow colour with blue colour female companion.
We dontknow about their diet…feeding them seeds and leaves.ITs difficult to touch them and interact with them.They are very aggressive and scared.Is there any easy way to train them and is there nyone who can suggest ?

Best answer:

Answer by amber
Which country are you in? I’m an Aussie and I can’t figure out what breed they are…they sound like budgies (parakeets) in colour but I’d guess you already know what those are.

I really can’t place what they are…and I have grown up around Australian native birds. Do you have any pics you can share or direct us to? Can you explain them in a little more detail, such as size, beak shape, markings, what noise they make, tail shape? I’d love to help but need more details. Keep feeding them seeds, and remember that parrots love fresh fruit and vegies like apple, carrots, celery etc.

Would love to know what breed they are so I can give you more help!

EDIT: Hey! Why’d I get a thumbs down!?

Finches How long does it take for Zebra finches to wean?

Question by Rosey-bear: How long does it take for Zebra finches to wean?
I have 2 adult Zebra finches who have 2 babies. The babies just left the nest today for the first time. One 9the first to hatch) has full feathers and can fly pretty well, but the other one still has some fluff and can’t fly. I had to put him back in to the nest. The parents are still feeding them a little, not as much though. How long until they can eat on their own? How soon can I remove them?

Best answer:

Answer by gail
If they just left the nest today they are still reliant on the parent birds even tho they may look like they can be on their own, at this stage they are fledglings. The parents will still feed them & teach them finch stuff that we don’t know about (LOL). When the parents are no longer feeding them at all wait at least 3 more weeks.

The feathers they have now will be replaced during the coming weeks, kind of a first molt & you need to let that take place. This whole process can take 12 weeks (sometimes a bit longer). Before you send them to a new home you should put the offspring in a separate cage fr the parents to be sure they are eating/pooping as they should. For the health & well being of the birds don’t rush the process. Good luck.

Types Of Birds Q&A: What type of bird would make a good companion for my goffin cockatoo?

Question by Jeanie: What type of bird would make a good companion for my goffin cockatoo?
I have a 6yr old goffin cockatoo,she’s never been had another bird in her cage. I Want to get another bird ,and I I have found another cocktoo and a conure but I want to know what other types of birds you can put together that ARE NOT sharing cages. I can take them out at different times but the cages will be close together. I would like for them to play together at some point though.

Best answer:

Answer by •Stacy•
It depends on your bird, and the new bird, really. Remember to quarentine the new bird away from your cockatoo until you can get a proper vet check-up to make sure the new bird isn’t sick and won’t make your current bird sick. It’s also no guarentee the birds will get along. Some do, most don’t. You do need to be ready to have two birds who hate each other if you decide to risk another bird. But then again they may end up liking each other, or at least tolerating each other.

Bird Table Q&A: How much is my Lomonosov bird figurine worth?

Question by Scullytheparrot: How much is my Lomonosov bird figurine worth?
I inherited 2 Lomonosov bird figurines about 20 years ago from my great aunt. One bird is tan and blue about 4″ long, the other is mauve and black, and about 2″ long. I was wondering if they were worth anything. The stamp on the back has their logo and made in USSR stamped in red letters. Can anyone tell me anything about the birds. How old are they? How much are they worth? Etc.

Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by Mere_Mortal
The “Lomonosov” ceramics are extremely common.

Expect figurines to bring up to $ 40 USD each and fineware to bring up to $ 40 to $ 100 per table set.

Most bird figurines have been selling stable at $ 10 to $ 25 USD for the last year.

Image by Pandiyan
Dear friends, meet Shiva, a bird magnet. Just like the two people I covered earlier in this series, Shiva too is a person of few words. But his pictures speak a lot.

He has assiduously photographed scores of Indian Birds and in a delightful fashion too. He is very modest saying he has not covered even 5% but considering that India has hundreds of bird species it is a remarkable feat. And he is still going strong.

Though he photographs other subjects as well, say, flowers or insects, his bird pictures dominate his stream. Do visit his stream and meet many birds of the subcontinent.

This is an idea I stole from my good friend, jahdakrinebrah, who himself is a talented and enthusiastic photographer. I shall continue this series for a while.

Once every week I shall post a mosaic of the work of someone I know for the benefit of all my friends. Hope you all like it.

Bird Houses Q&A: How do you get a bird to move into a bird house?

Question by Whoops, is this your spleeen?: How do you get a bird to move into a bird house?
There’s a bird that each night wedges itself under the eves of our garage and sticks its head into a hole! So all you see is the back of the bird with no head! So, we put a small bird house a few feet away but he’s not going in it. Is there some way we can entice him to move into a decent home?

Best answer:

Answer by Em☺
It might be just be the that that type of bird likes sleeping in a certain kind a place- and your birdhouse just isn’t the right shape, size, etc…. You could always try moving it up higher though or just leave it alone for a while- the bird might still smell you on it. :)

Lovebirds How do you tame the lovebirds and y and how to stop them from biting you?

Question by star_flack1: How do you tame the lovebirds and y and how to stop them from biting you?
How do you tamme the love birds(let you hold them).Also They keep bitting and i don’t noe how to stop them.I have two lovebirds,one is green and the other is yellow.Their both Peach face lovebirds.I bought them like 2 months ago.The green lovebirds keeps aimming for your fingure and its getting more evil.The yellow is ok but it sometimes want to bit you.

Best answer:

Answer by Cheryl H
I started out many years ago with a “wild caught”, “just out of quarantine” Orange Wing Amazon parrot with an even bigger beak and stronger bite!! Every time we walked within a few feet of the cage, he would give loud warning squawks. We were able to tame him down to where I could cuddle him, get him on my hand, etc.

There are several things I can think of that worked for me with Amazons (Lovebirds might be different), but I hope some of them work for you. If these birds were not handraised it will be difficult, but possible. I would recommend temporarily putting them in separate cages because if one is a male and one a female, the male will bite you to protect his female. the second cage can be a less expensive and smaller cage. I think they will get acquainted with you better if they each depends on you and don’t have each other there to “protect” them. I have a pair of Amazon parrots who are very bonded to me, but I can never reach into their large cage to get the female on my hand without the male trying to bite me and stop me from taking his “lady” away! I always have to get the female onto a dowel and do it quickly. The male will never get onto a dowel if the female is still in the cage. That is just the way it is and unless I separate them, I don’t think it will change.

Move slowly near their cage and talk to them or even sing to them. Find out what are good snacks for them (I am not familiar with a Lovebird’s diet) but probaby a small piece of apple (no seeds!), a piece of greens that was well washed (romaine lettuce, swiss chard, arugula, etc.), a small and thin slice of carrot, a small piece of green/red/orange pepper, a small piece of sweet potato, etc. and start by putting it in a treat bowl attached inside their cage. Try offering the snack to them through the cage bars or opening still while talking or singing or whistling softlyy to them and maybe they will get it from your hand through the cage bars/opening. Recommend you get some wooden dowels with a comfortable dimension for the size of their feet. You can get them at places like Home Depot and ask them to cut you two or more maybe 24″ in length. Try sticking it gradually and slowly through the cage bars for a day or two, being careful not to “spook” or scare the birds. Maybe even leave it through the bars so they can get used to it and realize it won’t hurt them. Talk softly to the birds while doing this trying to reassure them it is okay. Gradually get the wooden dowel closer and closer to them…moving very slowly and gradually…until you can put it gently under their chest and lift them gradually so they have to step on it because otherwise they would lose their balance…and hold the dowel still if they will continue standing on it for a few minutes. When they are comfortable with that, open the cage door very slowly and gradually slide the dowel in and try to get one of them to step on it. When they step on the dowel, slowly bring it outside of the cage..

If that doesn’t work, try getting them one at a time out of the cage gently by covering the bird with a small towel (you can use gloves, but they scared my first Amazon so badly, I swore I would never use them again) and releasing the bird on the floor of a room that is small and where it cannot get under furniture where you cannot get to it. The bathroom might work. Or try setting it from the towel onto a raised perch on the floor or a table and see if it will stay there. Try handing it a toy.

It takes a lot of patience and time and if they know their biting is working to keep you away, they will continue until trained otherwise. There are various books you can read and can probably borrow from the library or purchased through Amazon.com or other places.

Wishing you well in getting those lovebirds to the cuddly stage!

Question by toby: How to build an outdoor parrot aviary?

Best answer:

Answer by Kenny
You probably should go to a better source than here, since you need specific metals, paints, etc to not kill you bird.

I do know that you should never ever use chicken wire because its toxic to birds(also larger parrots will probably chew through it). Also, make sure that it isn’t easy to break into. People WILL try to steal/hurt them if they can break in (I knew someone that had her 2 macaws stolen by a few teenagers. They abused the parrots and threatened to hurt them if she tried to get them back. She got them back though and they’re now safe).

Caged Bird Feeders Q&A: how do you keep grackles from overtaking a bird feeder?

Question by Abby L: how do you keep grackles from overtaking a bird feeder?
they scare all the other birds away and they are bullies

Best answer:

Answer by David K
There are birdfeeders that screen out large birds like grackles. Small birds fit through the squares of the ‘cage’ and eat without interference. You will eliminate other birds like blue jays. Two feeders aren’t a bad idea. One with the grackle guard and a platform or unguarded feeded.
