Here's a random pic of my golden girl. She's very demanding during feeding time, and throws herself at my shins

Here's a few of my birds. I can't remember what the yellow variety are called exactly, but 3 of them are extremely social with me and just smile at me all day

I call my Texas A&M "White Chick" as well

I was wondering what her color was called. She's also a bit more wild in personality.

Hi everyone! I'm Wes, aka Kaya1, and I live in Placer county just outside Sacramento. I currently have 22 female Coturnix of all different colors and sizes. I don't want to deal with males, so I don't breed or hatch. They're all my spoiled little daughters in their 8/12' aviary. Everything I...

She kinda does, but all my birds are females.

Occasionally they get mud balls on their feet, but this girl got stuck in between some sticks and the chicken wire, and hasn't walked right since. I removed all of the sticks. She likely poked her belly, and it got infected.

They're in an aviary on mostly clay dirt and sand. This one has a limp though, and kinda drags her stomach on the ground a bit. My girls are also kinda fat, so that may contribute to it. For how wounded she is she still hobbles along happily, and no other birds bother her.

I need help identifying a growth on my hen. It looks like it could be a cyst from an infected wound. If anyone has had a similar situation I'd appreciate advice on how to treat it.

Yes, she's been sitting on a pile of eggs for almost a week now. I've just left her alone. I have 21 other females and no males in the aviary and she's my only A&M, so it's probably just her breed.

I'm not overly experienced with A&M's, but the one I have has been doing the exact same thing for 5 days straight. I'm assuming it's their behavior

I'm in Sacramento area and I had my birds in cages on my apartment patio for over a year. I couldn't find any laws against it, and no neighbors ever complained about the roo, even though I could hear him from across the complex.

I went from small cages to a big aviary, and my cots only flew when stressed. They do, however, run and pounce when they're excited or happy, sometimes getting a little air. I'd say that flying is a stress response, so I doubt they "miss" it.

I started with a metal shelf with 1"/ 1/2" wire around it, linked with zip ties and small Rubbermaids for sand. It ran me around $150, but like you said, they get bored, and they were less happy. Now I have 14'/10' chain link fence with chicken wire on dirt.

I live in California as well and I had a male at an apartment for a while. Believe it or not, no neighbors complained. I have all females now, and some of them make gentle dove sounds while their sleeping.

Nice, and I'm sorry about the birds you lost. Mine are in a big outside aviary, but it's chain link fence with chicken wire, so predators can't get in. I spent about 20 minutes per day in their aviary, and when I bring other people in they usually just smile and stare at them. I'll be sure and...

I've taken a select few before, and they don't mind it because they seem to feel comfortable around so many humans, and I make sure they have lots of treats.

Thanks for the info. I was actually looking for the proper name of what to call her, and you just gave me that. I take some of my birds to Midieval fares and talk about them in period character, so the name will help a lot.
