• Our new parakeet bird

  Posted on 2007/12/28 by Kali

  We just got our bird today, part of my daughters chrismas present. She/He is beautiful, very young and white. I didn't go with her and her gramma to choose the bird so I have no idea how old it is or if it's male or female. My main question is, will she/he remain white, change with age or is there any way to know for sure? Something else I wonder is, I know they are social, like to be around the family and stuff but do they need to be covered up at night?

• Cockatiel health

  Posted on 2007/12/16 by keith

  Hi,I'd like your help and suggestions if possible. My 18 yr old cockateil seems to be behaving differently lately, we've noticed that he seems to now prefer to sleep and play at the bottom darker part of his cage.(he usualy always sleeps on his perches.) His large cage is always open for him to come out and fly around as he wishes. Lately he needs to be picked up by hand to get him to come out, very unusual for him because he usually likes to be out and about and sitting on our shoulders. The thing is, once he's on your hand he poos droppings once - (quite a large amount) and then he's back to normal. When he decides to return to his cage he choses to go back down to the...

  When I got Petey he had a very bad split in his top beak and the meat was showing and it is still this way what can I do? I have some Harrison's bird feed ground up and he is eating this, is there anything I can put on the beak like a filler to fix it till it grows out?

• need advice on symptoms

  Posted on 2008/05/12 by User

  6 yr old male - strictly indoor. Six days ago he threw up two pinky sized fur balls. The next 2 days were dry heaves. The last two days are hacking-gurgling-wheezing sounds that start strong and taper off to a wet gurgle sound. He eats little to none - we're giving him baby food. He has not drank any water. When I wet his mouth with water drops, he reacts with the "hacking" after he licks the water. He went to the vet 2 days ago. Nothing shows on the xrays. No fever. He's urniated 3-4 times since his vet visit Saturday, and has had only one finger sized stool in the past 5 days. Any idea what this sounds like? A barium series and/or explority...

• Stray cat drooling

  Posted on 2008/03/10 by User

  I am feeding a stray cat and I noticed he appears to be sickly. He has saliva dripping from his mouth and his eyes are droopy and has hair missing. He does eat like a horse so it doesn't appear to affect his appetite

• Running off

  Posted on 2008/02/29 by User

  I just got a 4 year old female German Sheppard nearly 2 weeks ago. She is a wonderful dog and acts like a big loveable puppy. The only problem I have had so far is given the opportunity she will run off and not respond to my calls. I have tried to register but never received an email confirmation. I have tried to call but get disconnecte. Thank you!!!
