BIRD'S Eye Disorders

Image
                                AvianEye Disorders   Birds can suffer from many different eye disorders. They can be due to an eye injury, or possibly an infection to the area. Occasionally, eye disorders are symptoms of another underlying medical problem. Therefore, if your bird has an eye problem, it should be considered serious and you should consult a veterinarian to rule out any major internal disease.                                            Symptom and Types Conjunctivitis, a common eye disorder, is usually caused by bacteria and can be identified as red and swollen eyelids, and may lead to photosensitivity (avoidance of light) in the bird. Conjunctivitis is also a symptom of many other medical problems, including respiratory infections. Uveitis causes an inflammation of the inner parts of the eye. However, it is commonly associated with symptoms of other internal diseases in the bird. This particular disorder needs to be treated quickl

Easy Parrot Training

Easy Parrot Training Every parrot has the capacity to be a great, lovable companion. Unfortunately, parrot training doesn't always come easy. If you are having trouble with your parrot and you're looking for answers, then you've come to the right place. First, it's important to realize that a difficult parrot is a relatively normal parrot. Your parrot isn't particularly "evil" -- he or she is just not trained yet. Basic Commands Here are the basic commands that every parrot should know... STEP-UP This is the most important behavior that your parrot needs to know. The step-up command is when your bird steps up onto your finger (or wrist, perch, etc.) When you say "Step Up", your parrot should willingly offer up his or her foot while you offer your hand. Gently offer your finger or wrist to your parrot in the area where your parrot's belly reaches the top of his or her legs and say "Step up".

Rose-ringed parakeets of Amsterdam

Rose-ringed parakeets of Amsterdam Walking along one of the many canals or in one of the easy going parks you cannot miss the bright green coloured Rose-ringed parakeet that inhabits the Dutch capital city. However, for many it is mysterious how these tropical birds seem to thrive here so easily. The combination of a low breeding success with the availability of good nest holes and food seems to allow this exotic species to live peacefully next to its native neighbours. It is well known that tropical parakeet species are popular as pets. Interestingly, an increasing number of Rose-ringed Parakeets (Psittacula krameri) have adapted to live in urban areas far away from their tropical home grounds and established feral populations in a number of European cities. A growing group of rose-ringed Parakeets – often confused with parrots – have been living in Amsterdam since 1976. The very first birds were released pets that managed to survive the cold dutch winter by living i

BREEDING COCKATIELS

Image
BREEDING COCKATIELS  One advantage to breeding cockatiels is that they aren't extremely hard to pair up and get results. But, if you are breeding for real quality (large, well shaped, well marked, good natured) birds, it's a bit more of a challenge. Anyone can just place a nestbox on a cage, place two cockatiels of the opposite sex in it, and let nature take it's course. But, responsible breeding takes a lot more thought and time than that. In preparing to breed your cockatiels, you have to consider the health of the breeders, their colors and appearance (and what colors you want to end up with) as well as their temperaments. If you want to breed certain mutations, then you will need to familiarize yourself with some basic genetics concepts and how they affect mutations. You also must prepare a cage which will allow the necessary exercise and space during the breeding, brooding, fledging, and weaning stages. In addition to that, you must provide a nestbox whi

Major Mitchell's Cockatoo birds

Major Mitchell's Cockatoo birds Major Mitchell's Cockatoo Species Profile Traits:  Major Mitchell's cockatoos are strikingly beautiful parrots. Females tend to be more docile than males of this species and therefore tend to make better pets. Major Mitchell's cockatoos are inquisitive and will explore everything in the house, and therefore need to be given safe opportunities to explore, play and chew. Like most cockatoo species, Major Mitchell's cockatoos demand a lot of attention and they let their owners know it. When given structured attention, this species makes a very affectionate pet. Behavior/Health Concerns:  Like many cockatoo species, Major Mitchell's cockatoos can be destructive chewers, and for this reason should not be permitted to roam the house unsupervised. They are very active and need a pet bird cage large enough for them to fully spread their wings. They can learn to open cages, so escape-proof latches may be necessary. Mal
