How to get rid of the cats from eating your birds?
I have some birds (parrots, finches, canaries) in cages in a viewpoint that keep being eaten by cats in the evening. Thjey sneak into the fence and find ways to open the cage or take them out between the bars. They have killed several already. Is there a way to get rid of them? Any type of poison that I can use or there is a safe method? FYI, these are stray cats that come into my property, not my cats.
I think the cheapest and most effective would be to get some wire mesh from Home Depot and use a staple gun to put up. It is sold in rolls galvanized wire, 3-4 feet wide and 1 / 2 "mesh squares. The cost is per foot. The staple gun is faster than riveting. If I wanted to keep mosquitoes out can be used instead display cable, which also sold. Galvanized wire is toxic to birds so they can not use the Gazebo finish as an escape or release their birds in it for an extended period of time (sell steel for that and I used to build large temporary cages). If you want to take place no cats a thing called a Havahart trap. Catch them without injury. View http://www.havahart.com

Keeping Your Pet Macaw Happy
Despite their tropical habitat macaws are hardy birds in captivity, when once acclimatized, as well as being easy to feed and very long-lived.
Macaws have notably large beaks and long tails, and certain kinds – since vanished – used to inhabit the Antilles Islands. Nowadays they are only found in the tropical parts of America where they frequent the forests and, unlike many members of the parrot family, go about in pairs rather than flocks.
Unfortunately no ordinary parrot-cage is large enough to house the best-known and largest species, consequently they are usually kept chained by one leg to a “macaw stand” of a kind which must be familiar to anyone who has visited a pet shop or a zoo. While such a contraption permits them to flap their wings and take a certain amount of exercise, I dislike the idea of any bird, particularly an active one such as a macaw, being kept permanently chained up in this fashion, just as a dog should not be permanently kept on a lead.
As often as possible when you are with it, the chain should be removed and you should talk to and make a fuss of it, and let it climb about unfettered on its stand, or on your arm or shoulder. If both you and your bird do not mutually derive pleasure from this, the latter would be far better off under other, kindlier and more sympathetic ownership.
All birds need a bath of some kind and as the average macaw on a stand hardly ever gets one, its plumage suffers accordingly. Either the bird can be put out on its stand in a shower (not a deluge) of rain or else it can be periodically sprayed with rainwater.
This they so much appreciate and look forward to that one quite looks forward to the operation oneself. The instrument used must give a fine misty spray, and the birds will soon get to know its appearance so well that they will start spreading their wings and ruffling and shaking their feathers as though they are already wet through before one has even started!
Macaws should be fed chiefly on sunflower seed and monkey-nuts to which may be added a little wheat, groats, oats, and canary, as well as a small quantity of maize and hemp. Brazil nuts would remind them of home, and the larger species, at any rate, deal with them as easily as a zebra finch shucks millet!
They are not a necessity, of course, but an occasional one would not only provide nourishment for the bird but healthful exercise for its beak as well. Fruit such as sweet ripe apple should be given regularly, and they also enjoy the midribs of seakale-beet, or ordinary spinach-beet, as green-foods.
Young macaws appreciate a little sweetened bread and milk daily, and as an addition to their usual diet I make a practice of giving this twice a week to adult specimens as well.
To sum up: a pet macaw should be enabled to take plenty of exercise; should not be kept in too hot a room; should be regularly given something to amuse it and exercise its beak on – such as an empty cotton-reel – and should receive a great deal of attention and affection from its owner. This, after all, it only a just and reciprocal arrangement, and. if there is no affection between a bird and its owner the sooner they are parted the better.

What is a parrot would be perfect for me?
I am 13 years old and lives in Ontario, where im at school (at home all the time) and take care of parakeets and finches a cocktail, but I want a cuddly bird who does the active link with the environment and vary bird.please me.something friendly companies say what he thinks is a bird good for me and why:) (and I want a parrot, something out of his cage, not a Finch)
Conures meet their needs, but most Large Parrots are loud. More Pyrrhura conures (eg the abdomen, the green cheeked or maroon) could be a better bet if you think you're big enough. http://zoologica.wordpress.com/2008/09/11/living-with-a-maroon-bellied-conure/ see also the largest conures make excellent pets, but if someone in the spirit of construction noise. You might also consider one Poicephalus of, like Meyer and Senegal. So your criteria. In http://proaviculture.com/poicephalus.htm see a smaller size, could also be considered inseparable Lineolated or parakeets. They have a good personality, but I would not call them "the size means" -. Lineolated see parakeets inseparable http://www.parrotchronicles.com/mayjune2003/lineolated.htm – http://www.avianweb.com/lovebirdpets.html

Promised Land [CD-ROM] Queensryche’s follow-up to the double-platinum Empire is something of an acquired taste, but it’s well worth the effort. There’s considerable variety here; the heavy progressive-rock of “I Am I” and the ballad “Bridge” were hit singles, but there’s also the funk-inflected “Disconnected”, the edgy, spooky “Lady Jane”, and the piano-and-vocals “Someone Else?”. The title track is probably the stronge… |
