hi juztiny, nope u dont need a license to keep a cockatiel.. no, its depends on what bird..so meaning..1 bird for each species..or each bird..

yeah sure..what do you use for ur handfeeding formula crazymouse?



yeah, very nice bird ..can wait to get mine..


below are some pics of my male budgie..just wanted to share..




Attached thumbnail(s)

okay, what i use is..i'll go Tesco and get a baby food called hartz baby food..theres afew variety of it..there's (red box labeling - plain rice, there's blue box labeling - rice and banana, and another one is yellow..which i cant remember the flavour..) the cost of each box in tesco is very cheap compared to other places..its only below rm 5 in tesco..the reason im using this "hartz" brand is becos, that is the only brand i find that is WITHOUT ANY MILK MIXTURE in it.. (birds cant digest well to milk and chocolate..so they'll die) ..you get that, and a bottle of "gerber" baby food..i usually get apple flavour..then mix them together..not to cair and not to pekat.. just nice as if u want to feed a baby..and also..the MOST IMPORTANT is NOT TOO HOT..test it on ur hand 1st..if its too hot, then ur chick will get "crop Burn" (where its crop will burn resulting from too hot food) and u might want to get a syringe(WITH OUT NEDDLE) the ones usually parents gives their small children syrup medicine..they are a few sizes..go to any pharmacy..it ranges from afew cents to a few ringgit..that doesnt matter..u get all the stuff above..then u're are ready.

Pied whiteface? wow she's a beauty..

one question..do you remove the egg she pops? well, if you do this..u'll encourage her to pop more eggs..and ending up getting "egg Binding" egg bingding is a penyakit where the female lay too many eggs after one breeding season after another..and ending up lacks of calcium..where the egg in her tummy is too soft to even pass out..do provide them with alot of cuttlebone (tulang sotong) for calcium..(most bird shop sells them..tell me if u cant find them) when ur female lays eggs without mating is normal..every female will eventually lays eggs when she is mature.. just dont remove the eggs that she lays, eventually she''ll get bored and leave them..then only u remove them..

ps:go to www.birdforum.com.my theres alot things u could learn there.. just wanted to share.. and finally GOODLUCK!

not really though..actually its all myth..it actually depending on individual bird it self..i heard of it too..but somehow this is hard to say..cos i used to have a bonded budgie..when the female died..the male is stil okay..the yellow one in the pic..thats when i started to tame him..



conure can talk..but they are not known for talking..they are very very playfull..yeah sure..no problems..where do u live? im not sure about how much are they..but all i know they'll cost you above rm100 each.make sure u make some research about eng budgie too..

yeap..actually, to me it does not matter is this ur 1st time or not..maybe thru experience wise..cos u might not know what to do if the bird is sick and all..my 1st bird is actually a cockatiel intead of a budgie..sammy why dont u get a cockatiel? i can say its the most friendly bird to me..in my experience..ive never fail to tame a cockatiel before..u could start on a young one too..

hey! welcome!! hope you'll have a good stay here..



i know a avian doctor in UPM, serdang..if u happen to go there..go to the vet clinic and ask for dr.jalilah..maybe she can help u out..pigeon can be tame if there r properly kept..about how long they can live..im not sure..why dont u google it?

ofcause she can hear you..dont worry..i talk to my birdies too.. too far? ic..
i remember when i got my 1st cockatiel..during that time i only have a scooter to go around..suddenly when one of my cockatiel fall sick..i brought her all the way to UPM with my scooter! from subang jaya..huhu..that was a crazy ride.. n thank god, i mange to save her..thanks to my scooter.. maybe you could google on how to treat a broken wing.. also maybe u can try www.birdboard.com

juztiny..a big no no for tying them on the t-stand..my point of view..tying ur bird to the t stand only "menyeksa" or "mendera" the bird..they cant even hardly move freely..i advice you to get cage..square kind of cage.. you can go to pet safari in ikano power centre to get one..its only rm60 plus..

i once kept my budgie together with my tiel..i think it shud be alright..all i know, lovebirds are the ones suka kacau other bird..i think the cage u have shud be alright....about the big cage..y dont u do a small aviary for ur birds? bird the one u getting from david is a tame one right?




yeap this true..i dulu pernah keep my tiel in a bamboo cage..but then the tiel gigit one of the bamboo cage bar until it almost broke....lol.
