birds

I hope I'm not the only one to do this, but the birds are so funny with their great personalities and expressions. I find that I'm always thinking of funny quotes when I look at pictures of them. I wanted to start a thread for comical pictures and memes of your little feathered friend's so I can...

I for one love to show people Pictures of my amazing Brids so I figure why not start a thread where everyone can show off their Birds!!! :ya:wee:clap

I Have 4 ducklings (ive had since they hatched) They are 1 month old on 5/10/18. I just tried switching them to wood shavings (larger sized shavings ) from hay and of course they attempted to eat it possibly some smaller pieces but I removed them and put hay over the top of the shavings in hopes...

Not really sure where to share this but this is where it landed. Went into town today to pick up some grain with our trusty Farm Vehicle. I kept hearing a chirping sound while I was parked under some trees. Our Farm beater has some serious miles on it so we make it a point to check the oil...

I very recently started a thread about my year and a half old black Swedish, April. She was having some problems with her poop and she was passing on these weird rubbery leathery white hollow looking things. I received a lot of suggestions and answers, so thank you so much for all of the...

My year and a half old female black Swedish duck started to get really quiet and she is having these really weird poops. A picture of one of her recent poops is shown above. Their white and rubbery and some liquid comes out of her but the main part is the weird rubbery white part. I don’t know...

Do crowns kill/hurt ducks? I saw a huge one in the yard this morning..

Me and my Dad are looking to get new exotic types of chickens and we want to make sure that they can live in a hot environment like Florida. Do you any of you guys know some chickens that would be easy to raise in this kind of environment.

Hi my name is Macie aka Meow-Bawk. I dont have and chickens right now but i plan on trying to convince my parents (i have 2 cats). My neighbor Frank has 2 chickens already and i go over there every other day to feed water and talk to them (dont judge me every one gets lonely). I discovered this...

What would be better to do to obtain good show birds....Buying from a local breeder, or ordering from hatchery? I like doing both, but night sure would be best. I hear....and for me it is true....That raising chicks, you "bond" better than older birds. What is your opinion, thoughts, or advice...

Hi All, I'm a longtime member but haven't posted in years. I have a problem that I hope you can help me with. Over the past year wild birds have been getting into our chicken run - they eat the chicken feed and drink the water (and poop in it). There are enough of them that they end up eating...

Hi, im in urgent need of help, i had 4 cockatiels all well and happy and thought they might be happier in a more jungly feel so hung their cages side by side on my fence that grows many plants and has ivory on it so its a nice feature for them. Lately I've been seeing quite a few mice whenever i...

One of my first pets as a child was a big white rooster who used to follow me around and peck my ankles wanting me to pick him up and love him. My most recent little feathered friends were two lovely Gouldian Finches who lived for 5 and 7 years respectively and who are now gone and are resting...

Just wanted to know the types of plants that generally birds can eat.

I have a nice pair of Trenton pigeons. They are from a local breeder that got his birds from Otto Meyer himself. He has kept this line true through the years and kept breeding books to show it. I am asking $30 for the pair picked up here in Va, zip 22827. Thanks

My 8 year old son has recently been around my moms pair of cockatiels daily for about 3 months. Her birds are aged 11 y/o and about 2.5 y/o. She has raised the 11 y/o from baby and the 2.5 y/o since he was 6 months old. Neither of them are friendly AT ALL, which has kind of scared me off...

Hi! Just out of curiosity, I decided to start this thread. What are your favorite breeds for chickens? Any breeds are fine, bantams or standards. You can also say what your favorite breeds are for other birds, such as ducks, pheasants, turkeys, quail, etc. Just make sure you clarify that they're...
