my budgie is a female and it's green and yellow

Found a couple of newly splattered rabbits on the road today. I picked
them up and took them home, thinking that my gulls might like them.
Anyway, I thought I'd check with the experts here before I let the
boys have the bunnies. I know that gulls eat this sort of stuff in the

Hello Everyone;
Hope all's well with one & all.
I'm from "San Diego, CA." and I've been a "canary-enthusiast" since I was 5
yrs. old (...by the way, I'm now just over 35)!

I have a male Society Finch and he's about four years old.  Lately I've
been wondering about whether I've been feeding him a good diet.  Just
how much protein, fat, carbs and fiber does he need?  I've been looking
at the Guaranteed Analysis chart on the packages and I can't figure ...

Hi to ya all,
I am looking for some good sites that talk about finches and also parakeets.
Just aquired 20 finches, and 2 parakeets.
Thanks

Sorry, I posted it on ebay before I thought of this group.  It's a

I just had it dyed bright red today (I'm a punk, so I can get away

It's just idle curiosity at the moment but I've been reading quite a
bit about keas online recently and I was wondering as to the
availability of captive-bred birds in the UK. Anyone know if you can
legally buy/own them over here?

Group,
I am looking for some detailed help on hand feeding chicks from day
one.  Three weeks ago we took 2 eggs from our Eclectus pair.  They have
not been able to succeed in hatching eggs.  My biggest interest was to

I have two young cockatiels, the cage they are in has a pull out tray with

the bottom of the cage.I dont think this tray is a very good idea so i have
removed it?Reasons for doing this is i think it will ...

I have a newly adopted U2.  He's 6 years old,
and reasonably social, allows petting, but his former parents don't
appear to have trained him in the basics, including even the basic "step
up" command.

I have chickens and one of them have eggs.  We had a freeze here in TX.  I
want to know if the eggs got frozen, will they still hatch?
Please email me with any information you may have at IsaacIsa@aol.com

If we gradually switch our two budgies over to pellets, about how much
would each one eat each day? An ounce? A tablespoon? A quarter cup?
Okay, kidding about the last one.

Dear Group,
I have a pair of Eclectus parrots.  They were moved to an out door
aviary a year ago.  At that time both male and female looked the same
with smooth and dense feathers covering their bodies. (no skin visible)
