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. Hatchlings are very small, weighing about 14-16 grams and are about 2" in length. Eyes begin to open around 10-12 days of age.

Yep scented candles & plug in air fresheners are a no no im afraid.

{Feel-good-0002006E} Geez are all you guys on funny & wit pills this evening :pinch: :silly: :blink:

It's never to late Caroline & Charlie is still only a baby.Pick a time in the day when you know charlie may be more active & of course Dave is home.Let them have some quality time alone,say only 10 minutes to begin with, you & the kids need to leave the room.Let Dave give Charlie his full attention, feed him his favorite treat,chat to him,play a game & of course if Dave can get charlie to step up that would be a bonus, but that will come in time.Dave must do this consistently every night & if he has time at the weekends perhaps twice a day.The more they interact together the more confidence Charlie will build up in Dave

Here is a thread started today which may be of intrest http://www.greyforums.net/forums/other-birds/73642-help-me-figure-this-out-scary.html#73688

Thanks for asking FairY,she did brighten up wednesday but unfortunately was not very well during the early hours of Thurs/Fri am.These relapses are part of the disease, i only wish they had done the test's before they discharged her from the hospital, i called her consultant this morning to get this appointment sorted out ASAP

Well ill second that Judy,it's yuk :sick: Im aware that poop can change according to diet consumed, but it is not a colour that any of mine have ever had !Thats why i said it didnt look normal to me

nice video spence. thanks for sharing.

It may well be connected, Casper, one of our members had a very similar experience when here in the UK had a small earthquake it affected untold birds across the country. http://www.greyforums.net/forums/african-grey/62964-help-with-charlie.html#62964

Fal has it been like this all the time since you had him ? what is he eating ? I agree with Judy it doesnt look right to me, & i have four poop machines to compare it too.Is he showing any signs of illness ? Eating ok ? lethargic ? fluffed up ?

Yes i agree with Dan, perfectly normal.

yes just get it checked out again to be sure Just to add, Your parrot spends 100% of its time on its feet,Perches should be of different diameters and should vary in size. Do not limit your bird to one perch.Excessive perching on a cement perch which we all use to keep their claws trimmed can also cause some irration to some grey's feet.Regularly check the bottom of your bird's feet for sores or pink spots

Pleased to hear everything went well char.We look forward to the results on simon/simone Please keep us updated.

:unsure: Trust you Fal, no it doesn't harm the feathers at all.If you intend taking your grey outdoors with you, clipped or unclipped the safety of your bird has to be your biggest concern.Wearing a harness will ensure your grey doesn't fly off

Lovely Tag Heather.

arrior please refer to the feeding guidelines on the formula packet or if in any doubt contact the breeder from whom you purchased the baby from. HOW DO I TELL MY CHICK IS FULL AFTER A FEED? The crop should be nice and rounded it should be quite noticeable that there is food in the crop it should feel spongy. Small bubbles should appear each side of the neck once you see these the chick has had enough to eat. These get harder to see as the chick gets older but by then you should have it under control. If you have feed too much the crop will feel hard. The crop is the buldge that forms in front of the chick after a feed. you can start introducing soft food items to your baby when they are about 6-7 weeks old. They tend to only pick them up and drop them at this stage but that is part of the learning process of eating. Initially put soaked pellets and some soft fruits and vegetables in a fruit bowl for your baby to explore with.

arrior, this is a link which gives you a visual guide & reference to weight, the guide shows two babies, so halve it http://www.babygreys.co.uk/12-weeks.htm

Hi Heather, Welcome to the forum, we look forward to hearing more from you.

you will need to get a photobucket account, upload your pictures there, then just copy & paste the [ IMG ] code

Im not Mark False positive and false negative test results can occur. For example, infected airborne cells could contaminate a sample and cause a false positive result. Healthy birds with a positive test result should be retested after 90 days. If they still have positive test results, they should be considered carriers of the virus. If the retest is negative, the bird may have eliminated the virus, and become immune. False negative results may occur if too much anticoagulant is present in the sample, an extremely high number of viral particles are present and interfere with the test, or there are an insufficient number of infected white blood cells in the sample.There is no specific treatment for PBFD. my best wishes to you Tami x
