  1. Most clutches have from three to five eggs with three being the average. The eggs are laid about three to four days apart with the hen usually not beginning incubation until after the second or third egg is laid. The babies begin hatching 28-30 days later and hatch about one to two days apart.
  2. Scented candles or any candles with oils used to scent them i believe are potentially lethal to birds.I personally just dont use them or things like Potpourri, Scented toilet paper and tissues etc.

  6. Hi, We have a welcome room, please come in & introduce yourself to our members. One defense mechanism is fluffing up to look larger and biting.Your grey is still fairly new to his surroundings, be patient with him, talk to him in a calm manner, reward good behaviour & ignore bad behaviour. Some parrots scream as a way to get attention.The cycle must be broken in order to change the negative behavior. Reward your bird when he doesn’t scream and never reward your bird when it does.Completley ignore the screaming behaviour as hard as it may be, never show any reaction.shower your bird with attention and love once the screaming stops.

  9. here Hannah Ensure optimal nutrition by choosing a formulated diet Harrison's Bird Foods have been scientifically formulated to provide all the nutrients a bird needs. A seed only diet, for example, lacks 32 essential vitamins and minerals - Harrison's provides these with no need for additional supplementation. This means no need for powders or drops where the level of uptake by the bird may be random and/or unknown. Indeed, the natural vitamins and minerals in Harrison's are scientifically controlled at the optimal level for your bird's health and needs and the addition of further supplements will unbalance this and may be harmful. Harrison's is 100% organic so your bird's health is not at risk Harrison's Bird Foods were developed by esteemed American avian veterinarian Greg Harrison to meet the needs of the modern educated bird owner who knows the importance of a formulated diet in preventing malnutrition and combating disease and death in companion birds.

  13. Hi Clay & , you will find a wealth of knowledge on here & great members.
  14. Hi deedee, Can Admin please move this topic ? It is hard introducing new foods to picky eaters, you must persevere with the fruit & vegtables.Offer new food in a familiar dish with other foods you know Pepsi likes.Even if she just picks a little it's a start,the best time to offer new foods is first thing in the morning this is when many birds naturally forage for food. Try different forms of new foods - some birds prefer raw vegetables to cooked, while others are the opposite. Some like cooked veggies warm, others prefer them cooled. Some birds might be more willing to taste a puree or even juice made from new vegetables. Offer foods after you have a bite - watching you eat the food may be all the temptation your parrot needs. Make a big fuss & show Pepsi how yummy & great the food is. Just keep trying but Never starve a bird into trying a new food. Good luck.
