Hello, so my dad showed up with a chicken to my house 1 week ago after his friend didn’t want her anymore. She’s our only chicken (we are thinking about getting her a buddy soon). But since she came she’s been slow and not a big eater. At first we thought maybe it’s her getting used to a new...
I have my own CAG thats a female that I have had for many years. Her cage is outside but she comes indoors very often. My sister's husband also has a CAG but they are moving to a smaller place and they won't be able to take him. They decided to give him to me so I placed his cage next to mines...
Hello!! I have 2 parakeets one of them is 10 years old and the other is 6 about to be 7. They both live in an aviary with 2 other lovebirds and they have plenty of perches and things to perch on. The 6 year old parakeet has been acting more slow lately and today I caught her having difficulty...
Hello, I recently decided to get a perch for my African Grey who is a heavy chewer. I was looking for something that might keep her nails trimmed but thats also comfortable and won't cause sores. I was thinking about maybe a calcium or those cuttlefish perches but not sure how good they will be...
Hello, I am posting this because I am looking for assistance about one of my pigeons. Last night I noticed one of the girls in the corner of the cage very fluffed up with her eyes closed. I took her out and noticed her vent was full of poop, looked like diarrhea. I cleaned and gently cut the tip...
Hello, I found today a baby chick lost in a park that seemed injured. It looks like it happened a while ago as it has healed but he still had blood all over him. So excuse his dirtiness on the photo, I cleaned him up but didnt want to bother him too much as he is pure bones and that part looks...
Hello, I have a canal in the back of my yard, and a few years back there was a mother duck with her brood that used to come and I’ll feed them house scraps, and after that she used to come every once in a while to visit. Well yesterday she appeared in my yard after not seeing her for a couple...
Hello,
I have an aviary and a week ago noticed that one of my older parakeets (around 11 years old) started limping and it has progressively worsened. He looks like he’s in pain. I have tried taking him to a bird clinic but they are all very far and I haven't been able to contact one. Has...
Hello,
I already own a quaker and it seems that she called over a fellow quaker. He (I think its a boy) came flying to her and I put a cage with food and he gladly went in to eat. He doesn't look like a wild quaker as I have flocks around my house and they never dare come close, never less walk...
Lately, I have been having problems with my new husky of a year old with killing ducks that are jumping the fence from the canal. Just to tell you a little about her, i got her when she was 2 months old and since the day she came i introduced my pigeons and the ducks from the canal. I used to...
Hello, I just got my first homing pigeon pair. I have always had classic frills, which care is a bit different compared to these. I would like to know any necessary information and advice you guys might have. How to breed, train, maybe a good place to sell chicks as these are high-quality...
Hello, I found a female duck next to my house which has a canal behind it. She was laying on the ground with her wings open and breathing through the mouth. I don't know if this will help but there was an egg beside her. Before I got to her a male duck came and tried mating with her which led me...
I have 10 classic frills. A few days ago I found one of my young males (he is about a year old almost 2) in front of his water bowl spitting up a clear liquid (I'm assuming water). My dad told me it was probably that he drank too much water. So I took away his water because every time he drank...
Hello, I have a friend with a canal near her house and she sometimes would go to look at the ducks and the moorhens. Last time she went she saw an injured male Muscovy on the ground. The next day she came back and he was still there. She decided to capture it and try to help it. She brought it...
Today I went to see my pigeons and feed them. As usual, I was looking at them to see if everything was ok. I noticed that the male from my new breeding pair its cere was swollen and flaky. It's the whole mouth area. I want to know if any of you have seen or experienced something like this. He...
Hello my pigeons had 2 babies and as usual one was neglected as they grew up. I stepped in and have been feeding him formula to keep him alive. Today I went out and I found him on the nest with his neck to the side and opening and closing his beak. When I put him on the floor he fell to the...
Hey, so I have a quaker who has been plucking. I caught her in my backyard after one day she came flying and landed on me.
She was tame and I assumed that she got escaped. I put flyers and no one answered so I decided to keep her. She is very fun and loves to hang out with us. But even when I...

Hello, I wanted to ask anyone if they have ever had an experience with blood feathers. I have a lovebird and quaker with one. the lovebird while preening broke one on her tail a week ago. The quaker broke one on her neck today. Both birds have me extremely worried in fear that they will reinjure...
My dad once walked outside onto my lawn. A quaker flew out of a tree and landed next to him and my dad picked him/her up and we gave it a home. The quaker was tame and loved attention. But ever since it got here I have noticed its poop was strange. The urine part was a kind of greenish but not...
