I haven't been on this site for a while but I have been wanting to hear some advice about my chicken with an eye issue. This is Gertrude, my 12 year old hen. Despite her age she is quite agile and healthy. However she has some vision loss, particularly in her left eye, which looks cloudy. She...

I went outside to feed all my birds early this morning, as I always do. When I checked on my king quails, I found Pinga (my hand raised quail) with a bleeding head. She lives with her two sisters and younger brother (I don't breed them) and they all get along like loving siblings. However...

One of my Brahmas, Metrowizard, started making a croaking sound today. It sounds like a respiratory issue. I took her to the vet this morning and they gave me antibiotics for her. I only took her to my local vet, not my avian vet (which is further away), so I wanted to hear what other people...

I'm not a finch expert, so I thought I'd post my idea on here so other people can give advice. I feed my parrots a mix of veggies in the morning and pellets in the evening. Any seeds are just reserved for treats. This has been working out great for me, so I thought I'd do something similar for...

So I've been incubating some bobwhite and california quail eggs I got from my pairs and... ...THEY'RE HATCHING!!! :celebrate One california just popped out. Another one has been hatching, I'll see how that one goes. I don't think they'll all hatch, we've had some really hot days and the...

So I was feeding the birds this morning and I saw one of my bobwhites not looking herself. I picked her up (she didn't struggle, another bad sign) and she's very skinny. She's inside at the moment, I will offer her plenty of food and water. Does anyone know what I can do for her?

I wanted to have a chat like this so we can share pictures and stories of our pheasants. Please, everyone be nice to each other as we post. Here's my boy. His name is Luke, he's my 2 and a half year old red golden pheasant. I also have his sister, Leia (sorry, I'm a Star Wars fan). I will try...

I have a king quail hen who has been broody since July. She went broody on eight eggs and hatched out three chicks in July. One chick was rejected the moment she hatched so we hand raised her. The other two were rejected at two and a half weeks old. One died, the other we found half dead but we...

So I have two golden pheasants; a male and a female. Over the last couple of days, my male has lost seven tail feathers. Before that he had a very thick tail with many feathers of different lengths, now the poor thing has only one long feather. Why would he be loosing them? Could he be...

Before I start, please understand I do not want to cause debates. I am not poking fingers at people or trying to make parrot owners feel bad for keeping parrots (I am a parrot owner myself). I want people to share their opinions kindly as I feel the parrot community is divided enough and doesn't...

So I thought that there needs to be a thread for people in bushfire area so they can get support and advice. I am particularly referring to the bushfires around Australia but if you are going through this anywhere in the world, feel free to share. By the way, not sure if this is the right place...

So I have a bobwhite egg in the incubator. It is day 15. I was wondering when to go into lockdown. Thanks in advance.

So I have a king quail hen who lives in a rabbit hutch with her two daughters she hatched and raised after her mate passed away. Yesterday I discovered her sitting on a bunch of eggs in there which are infertile since there are no males with them. I want to take this opportunity to give her...

I am concerned about my coturnix quail. She lives in the bottom of my aviary with four other quails; three are her daughters who she's just finished raising, one is a rescue I introduced yesterday. They are all girls (only one I'm not 100% sure about). I just noticed however that she has a lump...

I have two baby budgies (12 weeks old), but last night I noticed one of them had a twisted leg. His right leg is bent out to the side. It wasn't like that before so it seems to be some sort of injury. He is acting normal and he doesn't seem to be in pain, but he is avoiding putting weight on it...

I have two Brahmas, I got them together. One is a Buff Brahma, but I'm not sure about the other one. The breeder where we got them from had two of each colour and we got one of each. Not sure if they are related. I live in Australia and I know with other birds that many mutations and colours are...

Hello, I am new to this forum but I have been reading posts and threads for ages. I've been keeping quails since December last year. I thought it would be good to join to get advice and share my experiences. So recently one of my japanese quails went broody and hatched 10 chicks. Around the...
