FAQs Behavior Diet and health Proper avian care ... Helping wild animals in distress We are now accepting donations online through Network for Good Symptoms of illness Egg laying in birds It often comes as a surprise to the owner of a female bird that their pet can lay eggs without the presence of a male. Such eggs are, of course, infertile and will not hatch even if incubated. This can occur in any breed, but is more common in cockatiels, lovebirds, budgies, canaries and finches. Egg laying can start anytime from 5 months to over 10 years of age. Egg laying is a natural, seasonal process in wild birds, breeding birds and some pets. However, it can also become an obsession that drains the bird of vital nutrients, ruins her pet quality, and predisposes her to life-threatening health problems such as egg binding and yolk peritonitis. A bird in the peak of health on an ideal diet my be able to sustain egg production of up to 10-20 eggs per year without serious harm. Beyond that number, egg laying will have serious consequences sooner or later, no matter how the bird looks. For a bird that eats a seed based diet or has an underlying health problem any egg laying at all is dangerous.

If you want to keep a bird, get rid of all your Teflon-coated pots and pans. If Teflon is scorched, it gives off toxic fumes that can kill birds. If your bird starts to seem depressed, it's probably sick. If it moves down to the bottom of its cage, it's probably too late to save it. Exotic birds generally need a good base diet of seeds and pellets. However, they also need items from the four basic food groups. In fact, they often like the same foods you eat, such as pinto beans, cornbread, chicken and other common dishes. Most birds have the ability to talk, but they need a lot of practice before they learn how. It usually takes about two months of repeating a word over and over before a bird learns it. Keeping two birds in the same cage will reduce their tendency to speak. One popular bird is the macaw ( figure A ), which costs about $1,500 and can live 80 years with good care. The macaw is a high-maintenance bird that must be kept out of drafts and protected from excessive heat. In general, a temperature that's comfortable for you is probably comfortable for the bird.

52. Pet Food Manufacturers Association pet birds maintained on these nutritionally incomplete diets frequently showsigns of deficiencies particularly in iodine, vitamin A and calcium. http://www.pfma.com/nutritionbirds.htm

Nutritional Requirements of Pets: - Introduction - Specific Nutritional Requirements - Small Pets - Fish ... - General Feeding Tips Birds The majority of commonly kept companion birds are natural seed eaters and are fed on: • loose seeds • unsupplemented seed mixes • supplemented seed mixes • supplemented seed based diets • manufactured diet. Loose seeds and unsupplemented seed mixes are not nutritionally complete. Pet birds maintained on these nutritionally incomplete diets frequently show signs of deficiencies particularly in iodine, vitamin A and calcium. Supplemented seed based diets and manufactured diets are both formulated to be nutritionally complete. Calcium and phosphorus are essential for pet birds for the formulation and maintenance of the skeleton and an imbalance of these results in a variety of disease conditions including rickets. The balance of these two nutrients is very important and most seeds do not contain calcium at the ideal levels. Manufacturers ensure that the correct balance is achieved by supplementing seed diets with calcium. Softbills are popular pets with more experienced birdkeepers.

All birds with AC should be treated for 45 days, except as noted below: Medicated Feed Medicated feed should be the only food provided to the birds during the entire treatment. Birds' acceptance of medicated feed is variable. Thus, food consumption should be monitored. Acceptance may be enhanced by first adapting the birds to a similar, nonmedicated diet. Treatment begins when the birds accept the medicated feed as the sole food in their diet. The following options are available: White millet seed impregnated with 0.5 mg CTC/g of seed (Keet Life ) should be used for budgerigar parakeets and finches only. It should be used for 30 days.

FEATHER DISORDERS IN PET BIRDS Overgrooming, feather chewing and feather plucking are common and complex problems with many possible causes, both physical and emotional. Some birds with this disorder never demonstrate it in front of the owner; others are unable to stop even when transported or examined. Medical problems that may have started the problem or continue to contribute to it include skin infections (bacteria, viruses, fungi, mites) and other diseases such as hormone imbalances, allergies and cancer. Most of these causes are rare. We are frequently asked about mites and lice but both are extremely unusual. The only common mite infections occur on parakeets and canaries and they do not cause feather loss. Poor nutrition often makes both physical and emotional problems worse. Supplements, formulated diets, and labour intensive foods such as whole fruits, millet sprays, honey sticks and safflower based diets are often recommended. Stresses apart from poor nutrition may include environmental factors such as humidity too low, temperature too cold, inappropriate cage, inappropriate location and uninteresting or uncomfortable perches. A lack of mate or flock, and a fear of certain humans or pets may also be present but difficult to detect. Common psychological stressors include: SEPARATION ANXIETY Some hand-raised birds identify so closely with their human owners that they give them the role of mate substitute, or the family becomes a substitute flock. These birds rarely pick in front of the owners, but will often become excited when left alone, hanging on to the bars and calling. Picking may then occur as frustration and anxiety deepen. In the wild, a member of the flock would not normally be separated from the other birds.
