1. Chocolate and Achohal (althogh im not sure if they are the
MOST toxic:confused:

2. Pellets, nuts, and lots of fruits and vegtibles must be presented each day! birds like variety:D

3. The molting season stops the breeding season, and turns healthy birds into rather weak birds. The molting also puts them under a lot of stress.:eek: :( (poor birdys)

1. the most popular is the gray tiels (i think). They have gray boddies, gray beaks and gray feet. males will have solid yellow heads and black feathers on the underside of their tails. females will have more of a gray head and yellow and black feathers on hte underside of their tails (i hope)


i dont know the other one:confused: :confused: someone else can answer it.:D

i may have found it! (might!)

there are to ways to find out if an egg is fertile or not. One way is to just put it in an incubator and measure its growth. Another way is to examine the germ (the blastoderm) on the eggs yolks to see if it has divided.


is it correct?

I'm totally guessing on these. :D

1. By the color of the cere - the skin above the beak. Pinkish or white in females, blue or purple in males. (Ok, I knew that one.)

2. The parolet?

3. True


Ok .... questions .....

1. Name three species of birds that are now extinct.

2. Name a species of bird kept in the pet trade that was never a wild bird, but has always been a domesticated hybrid.

3. Which species of birds are raised on "milk" as babies, by their mothers?

4. What distinquishes whether or not a bird needs grit in its diet?

5. Which family of birds are the clearest, best and most prolific talkers? (Hint: It is NOT parrots.)

And I've always heard the opposite about covering birds. I've heard that it's not necessary, doesn't keep them any warmer, and actually promotes night frights by making it completely dark in their cage. I've heard it's best to keep them uncovered in a warm room, with a dim nightlight on, so that if they do get frightened, they can see to get back on their perch.

But, that's the pet fancy for you .... ask ten people a question and get ten different answers ... not matter what the question is or who you ask. ;)

Doesn't matter much in my case ... there is no way I can cover my bird cages. They are much, much, much too big ... I'd have to stand on a step ladder and cover them with a bed sheet! And that's certainly not going to happen! :p
