| I`ve been raising/breeding/handfeeding/selling parrots for over 18 years (parakeets/budgies, cockatiels, 6 subspecies of conures, parrotlets, amazons, lovebirds, etc.). I've been published in "Budgies" and "Cockatiels" offered by Bow Tie Productions, and have written avian articles for publication in England. I can provide advice in raising healthy birds, handfeeding/weaning babies, some health problems, nail/beak/wing clipping, general husbandry, etc. I also have experience with racing/showing homing pigeons. I cannot diagnose specific illness over this website. If you suspect your bird is ill or if you have an emergency, contact a certified avian veterinarian or emergency pet clinic ASAP. | On Vacation

| I can answer questions about breeding, taming, housing, suitable toys, getting your first budgie, behavior, etc. I cannot diagnose a specific illness. I can answer some questions about medical problems, but you must be specific. I would love to answer your questions and have many good resources to help me answer them. I am not an avian vet, so if you suspect your budgie has a severe medical problem contact your vet immediately. | On Vacation

2008-10-05 breeding: Hi cloe! The bump around a female's vent only forms right before she's laying an egg, but her vent could look bigger just because she's a female, kind of like a woman's pelvis is bigger than a man's...
