| 2009-03-31 | Kate | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | No | For chrys, I only found one egg. I thought it was impossible to have two doves in one egg. I meant I didn't get the egg away fast enough. I appreciated your input. I will do what is necessary for them. As I said I am new at this. Thanks |

| 2008-09-01 | Barbara | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you very much for your response. All of our birds have cuttlebone. She lays the eggs in one place in the cage. I mark the date of the first egg laid on the calendar, and I do not remove them until she is out of the cage for most of the day, and no longer shows any interest in them. Thank you very much.

| 2008-08-27 | Kathleen | 10 | 10 | 10 | 10 | Yes | Thank you so much!! I didn't realize that molting was so stressful for our little feathered friends. We'll keep her life low key whenever we notice a molt coming on. Hopefully we can find a reliable birdsitter so we avoid stressing her with any more car trips! Thanks again Kathleen |

Expertise
I`ve been raising/breeding/handfeeding/selling parrots for over 20 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 (although I'm NOT an avian veterinarian), 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 an avian veterinarian or emergency pet clinic ASAP.
