My Pineapple Conure
On September 15, 2015 I Had Got A Pineapple Conure... I'll Try To Make This Story As Short As Possible. 2-3 Weeks Before September 15, 2015 I Got Him My Husband, And I Went In To See Him... He Was The Sweetest Bird. We Got To Interact With Him For A Good 15-20 Minute, He Didn't Try To Beak Me, Or Bite Me Once, We Fell In Love With Him So Fast. This Girl Told Us Or Warned Us That Works At That Pet Store That She Has Bitten By Him, And i Though That Was Strange, Because He Was So Good With Me O.k. The 1st Few Days He Was So Good Sweet, And Nice.
Conure Eggs Help!
My green cheek conure laid 4 eggs, 2 of which cracked (she didn't lay in nesting box, she laid on a branch, and eggs dropped to bottom of cage). So I have these two eggs in a homemade incubator, humidity, 99 degree temp, but I have no idea what to do when they hatch! They were laid on the 2nd and 5th of April, but I cannot find anything online about what to do when they hatch, only info for eggs, not chicks. Please help me! I need advice on what to do, because all I know is that people feed them Kaytee Extract formula, (my pet store has it) but that's it.
Egg bound budgie.
I have a budgie which is egg bound. There is an egg shaped, egg sixed protrusion distended from her abdomen. Today I took her to the vet who undertook an x-ray and came back saying that because there is nothing showing on the x ray then the problem is not an egg but instead is constipation. Please bear in mind that I am in Thailand. This is not an excuse for bad vetrenary practice but standards are not what they are in the west. I am not a vet but my bird appears to be pooing ok. I want to know what I can do.
