Expert Profile: Chrys Meatyard

Expertise: 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.
18 years breeding/raising/handfeeding/selling 15 different species of parrots.

What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field? One never learns all they need to know about aves...it's a continuous process.

What do you like about this subject? I love aves and enjoy helping others with issues related to their birds.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know: Birds are very intelligent and much can be learned from them. They also bring much joy and companionship to a person's life.

Thank-you so much for your quick response. My husband and I may let them bred because we let them fly free in the house all the time. Thank-you again

Thabks so much for your input. I have seen a few times beak to beak feeding. My birds are about 18 months old. I will separate one couple to the other

I watched her lay one of the eggs. She was standing on the perch and the egg plopped out onto the kabob. I don't know if she laid the other eg
