I wish you were closer to me. I have eight babies. They're only four months old now and only two have identified themselves as boys. I'm afraid I'd be too afraid to ship them though. If you do find them and the person hasn't been able to identify the sex, there is a way. So far it seems to work...

What a beautiful Sunny! It's amazing the bond you can develope with birds. I don't understand people that are so deathly afraid of birds. They are missing out on so much.

I'm glad he has a pleasant song. I have two males that are old enough to sing. Pazo has a beautiful soft song. As soon as Rafferty hears him, he drowns him out. I'm so happy right now. One of Rafferty's babies has just hatched today. Two more to go. This is their second clutch this season. The...

You can naturally feed foods with beta carotene such as carrots and sweet potatoes. That will keep the orange color. It will not be as vivid but won't harm the little guy. The best time to do it is around the molt, which usually is July and August. Please don't use the color food that is...

Right now I only have the little guys. Six parakeets, one peach-faced lovebird that thinks I'm her mate, one peach-faced lutino pied baby lovie, four blue black-masked lovies (a proven pair and two 4 week babies) and 12 canaries (two mated pairs and eight babies). When they get going, my home is...

Isn't is exciting? I have Lovies that have been hatching this week. I have no idea how many have hatched. The box is situated so that it's difficult to take a peek. At least three of her five eggs have hatched so far. The poor males do get the worst of it don't they. My boy has been going in and...

Cayenne is beautiful! I love his playpen. Did you make that or buy it?

As far as when to breed, now is the time. I have four babies right now that have just fledged. Mama in that cage is now on her second nest. My other pair had three eggs that didn't hatch and have just laid two eggs on their second try. She is still laying so it could be another four eggs. You...

Food is such a useful tool in training. Perhaps everyone could handle her but your daughter could be the only one with treats. All my birds love millet spray. She could offer some to her whenever she holds her. That would make her quite special in the Keet's eyes.

I currently have canaries, parakeets and lovebirds. They all have their merits. If you go for canaries and have a choice, get a male American Singer. I have red factor male and an american singer male. The RF will sing you out of the room. He is so loud that your ears literally ring. My AS boy...

I love morels and puffball mushrooms fried in butter. I'm always on the lookout for fox grapes. I made wild grape wine one year. It was so good. It was like a lambrusco and had quite a kick. My source dried up the and grew too far up the trees for me to reach. I'm also always searching for wild...

Do find a hand-raised bird if you can. It makes all the difference. Males will talk and are quite the characters. Their antics will have you smiling but they are a bit bolder than the females. Females are generally more quiet and very affectionate. Females are also less brightly colored with...

Really looks yummy!

I have one Red Factor canary that sings his heart out and I just adopted two Blue Masked lovebirds today from the Humane Society. Hubby wants to go back and get the three parakeets they had. My house is going to be very noisy. I can't wait.
