By Anna-Marie Stewart Whether you are looking to buy a budgie, already have a budgie or even own multiple budgies, health is of utmost importance. A budgie can go downhill really quickly if it gets ill, so it is really important to know what a healthy budgie looks like and to watch for any signs that may be pointing to the bird being slightly unwell or even very ill. A healthy budgerigar is

By David Hermansen If you're wondering whether or not 304-grade stainless steel bird cages are bird-safe, the answer is definite "yes!" In fact, it's the only material used in bird cages these days that I feel 100% secure about putting my bird in. With the growing amount of powder-coated brand names being found to have toxic levels of harmful components in them, the safest bet is to get a 304-

By Azmi Adnan For breeding African grey parrots, first of all you will need to acquire a true pair. Identify the sex of your birds before you set them up for breeding. This can be done with DNA sexing if you do not want any fuss. However, surgical sexing is recommended since it enables the physical examination of the birds' sexual organs and the detection of any potential diseases. As in other

By Anna-Marie Stewart A budgie is one of the cutest pets one could wish to own, but how do we keep them happy? Budgies are instinctively used to living in a flock and love constant chatter and company. I would never suggest getting a budgie if it's going to spend most of the day all on it's own. The least a single indoor budgie needs of company would be either radio or tv. If you are going to

By Jack Hunter While birds are beautiful and fascinating, it's hard to get close to most of them. Many species are timid and afraid of humans. However, using birding binoculars gives you the best of both worlds. You can see beautiful specimens up close and personal, without having to frighten or disturb them. Users of these binoculars will be able to feel as though they're within arms reach

By Anna-Marie Stewart Keeping 2 budgies is always beneficial to the birds themselves, although it may make it harder for you to tame them. If you want to tame them and you have 2, then it's best to have 2 males. If you really want to keep 2 birds then 2 males are the best option, as they will rarely bicker and fight, whereas 2 females will spend most of their time doing just that. It's also

Well, California has a great variety of Nature Festivals to attend; all you need to do is pick your area. Every month of the year offers some kind of birding event for those who like to bird watch. In January, you can watch the ducks, geese and other water foul migrate annually.

By Azmi Adnan Before you visit the pet shop to look at Congo African Grey parrots for sale, decide if this parrot specie is exactly what you are looking for as a pet. Keeping this parrot is a lifelong commitment and dedication because they can live for up to 65 years old. Teaching your parrot to talk takes lots of patience and some African Greys never talk at all.

By Azmi Adnan When choosing a bird cage for your African Grey parrot, the bigger the size, the better. Your parrot will love the extra space to move about and build its confidence. It is also a good idea to purchase a bird cage that opens from the top as this allows your bird to scale out onto a higher perch. And parrots love to scale.

By Azmi Adnan To have a talking bird, it is preferable that you purchase a young, hand raised bird between the ages of two and six months. Older birds will not learn as fast and wild or untrained birds will be more difficult to train as they have already got used to the sounds ingrained in their heads. If you can only purchase an adult bird, you will need a lot of patience to train it to talk

Without regular baths, a quaker parrot can build up oil and dust that even a quaker's vigorous preening can't remove which can lead to illness. Ideally, you should select a location for your quaker parrot's bath that is ok to get wet, like the kitchen table. Allow up to a 6 foot area for splash,

By Frankie Goh IF YOU have ever walked in the woods at night, you may have heard the plaintive hooting of the silent swoopers-the owls. Since there are at least 145 species of owls worldwide, most people could get within earshot of an owl. You can find the common barn owl throughout the Americas, Europe, Africa, and many parts of Asia, as well as in Tasmania and other areas of Australia. What

By J Ruppel Winter time - the plants have dropped their leaves, the insects and grubs are hiding in their cocoons or burrowed in hiding places, and if there is something out that a bird might eat it is often hidden under a few inches of snow. If you are looking to help the birds by feeding them, what's the best approach? A common winter time feeder is a suet bird feeder. So, why use suet,
