Kitfox88 posted:Are they still too young to open their eyes or was that one just particularly sleepy while you banded them? that one has slits so he’s opened them. the the three older birds have for sure; i don’t know about the youngest.

Captain Log posted:Serra made her version of this noise way, waaaaay too long into her normal life. i came in this morning to find this little overachiever sitting on the mat in front of the nest box. mama trying to get out behind him lol. he can't quite control his head enough to get back inside so i just pushed it down a little and he shot in hehe

Captain Log posted:Oh. My. Gawd. that would be great but i think we just don’t have enough house for seven free-flying parrots lol i think my spouse found a friend/coworker that has a green cheek conure named hermes who is 24!! and will probably want to get a pair from us. hermes’ favourite trick is to come up to you, screm “no biting!” and then bite you this is hermes fan art from one of his kids:  bee posted:In other birb content: Tux usually prefers to sit on mr bee during the day while we're working, so long as he's in the house with me and hasn't gone outside to our little office cabin in the backyard. Which is fine, as long as Tux is chill and isn't getting the zoomies and flying into things he can sit where he likes. shercockatiel holmes is on the case mediaphage fucked around with this message at 02:01 on May 2, 2024 |

Serra will quite literally get scared of new socks, so I'm proud of your adventurous little Borb.

your birds are wonderful and i love them all already. what sort of pellets do you use out of curiosity? anyhoo i doubt i will be able to be of much help but you may also want to try introducing some other options if you haven’t already to see if something will click. cooked rice or similar, maybe with frozen corn and peas mixed in. or sprouting some of your own seeds until they get noticeable growth (then it’s both seed and vegetable!) if nothing else works you may wish to consider picking up some thrive: https://morningbirdproducts.com/products/morning-bird-thrive-sick-bird-formula and using it as a supplement. dust the millet she gets with it, etc. i will also give our birds occasional cooked egg, and when they’re sick i’ve made a bit of a mix out of it with the thrive.

redgubbinz posted:Highly enriched, weapons-grade adorable I say. hard to capture with a bird in the hand but he was flappin his raggedy lil’ wings as fast as he could (did it again in the box and was hitting all the siblings which was p lol) Milkfred E. Moore posted:don't think there's anything she dislikes more than cooked egg though, which made it tragically hilarious that it's been the one thing Neon has managed to feed her. She was disgusted. lolling she may not go for corn, as you know birds are all different flavours of weird. my two go absolute ham for it tho. i keep corn and peas in the freezer for emergency bird veg; it’s easy to thaw a handful in a bowl of hot water.

Ghost Leviathan posted:Apparently ducks will even fight over ducklings and they'll follow the winner. More ablative adopted siblings improve your own offspring's odds, apparently. apropos of nothing else, if resources aren't an issue, more in a group is strictly better in terms of fitness because it means a predator might pick a not-your-chick
