Blue whale?

I have noticed that members say that there should be a concave in the box and nesting material not be provided when the eggs are being laid. I have always provided nesting material to avoid splayed legs. By what stage of development do you recommend that the chicks be placed on nesting material?

Yes! Well done. Your turn now..

The bowl at the bottom of the cage could be the very thing they choose if they are determined. Don't leave it in all day.

That is a real worry, isn't it, especially as you'd want to keep and extra close eye on them? You did well there with Cirrus. Just as well you have a lot of gut instinct to help - gleaned from your experience with birds (and children). It all helps to alert you. All the very best as you persevere with these little sweeties.

Thank you. Here goes the next one: I do useful poop.

Keep the water level very shallow.

I don't know but it's not on my list of toxic plants.On my list, it has citrus trees as being safe. I'd try and find someone else who gives lime to their birds before I gave them any more.The list says nothing about leaves.

A wood frog?

That is very sad.

These are wonderful pictures! They really made me laugh.

They are so cute. I love the pied spangly one in your signature (no good on mutations, sorry)

They look so utterly cute in the towels and afterwards when they were dry. The size comparison with Tealie is very instructive.

Giant Panda is right. bird_paradise wins. Well done. Your turn, b_p.

I would put some paper or cardboard on the floor so that he has something more comfortable to pace up and down on. It is quick and easy to change the paper each day. It's a nice cage, though no room for flying. I would move/cut the perches so that they go across the short sides. Then he will have something to flit to and from.

He is alone and frightened. He has nowhere to hide. I hope he is in a square or rectangular cage. They like corners to hide in. Here's what I would do: I would cover part of the cage so he can hide whille he gets used to all the new sounds. I would leave him alone and not try at all to touch him. Every day at consistent times, I would approach the cage and talk quietly to him. Then, I would open it with smooth, slow movements and replace food, water, newspaper etc. Once he starts coming out from hiding and sitting on a perch, I would move the cover back slightly, a little more each day. I would also sit at a small distance from the cage and talk quietly to him - lots of times each day. Once he begins to chatter to himself, he has adjusted. After the adjustment, you can begin to offer him stuff from your hand. Do not attempt that for as long as he does a frantic fluttering to get away from your hands. I can tell you more about taming him later.

No. Good try.

I am a solitary mammal. I live on a restricted diet. I am not an Australian native animal. What am I?

A star-nosed mole.

Well, I thought God was funny. New word hair clip
