now here are my questions!

1. name 5 plants that are deadly to birds

2. about how many hours of sleep each night does a bird need?

[Jessica12345]

yep.... you got em both... now you ask a quiestion... 3 is the limit but you can do less

lol tiki went to bed at 8.... such a sleepy head!

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

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

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. (poor birdys)

[Jessica12345]

i like it too! ive only been a birdy mommy for a year... and am always learning new things! i have at least 12 books on them


ok.... my quesions:

1. what is the average life span of a smaller bird? a larger bird?

2. about how big should a cage be compared to the sized of the bird?

3. Name 3 parts of a birds wing



i know.... they are easy!

[Jessica12345]

[Jessica12345]

yep... those were right!

sorry about the confusion on the first question

[Jessica12345]

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 someone else can answer it.

[pegwad16]

I have no clue but i would like to know how to sex cockatiels

[Jessica12345]

nope! lol maybe someone will...



we got Tiki DNA tested. i was so happy to find out she was a girl! horray! lol

ill try and search again for the egg question

[Jessica12345]

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?
