Hope you learned about egg binding. Watch next ruclips.net/video/jDVkgt2W7Ok/видео.html
You should do a video on the importance of deworming your birds every 6 months. We just lost our 'baby' budgie a few weeks ago and I felt like the worst mom ever.
Love of Pets Hi, your birds are so healthy and are given excellent nutrition im sorry your bird was egg bound. I really enjoy your channel. Suzanne
Thank you Donna!!
I'm curious do you have experience with finches?
@Mama's playing hookie I never had to deworm a bird and my vet never mentions work but he does do a fecal test and never found worms. I will ask about worms next time I go.
@@Loveofpets I've never dewormed until now, 20 years never had a problem. This year though - I think it was a combo of heat/age that lead to her getting infested. The dewormer isn't expensive and you can mix it in their water. When getting your birds the freshest millet you can find it comes with risks.
So sorry for your loss, egg binding is such a scary thing to have to look out for. She sure was a pretty bird.
Such a wonderful community for exotic creatures on RUclips, I'm so glad the algorithm recommended me your channel. I don't even have birdies, but I love to learn about different animals. I'm really sorry for your loss of little Rosita, but I'm sure you gave her the best life she could've had.
I’m sorry about your birdie 💗😭
Thank you. So sorry for your loss of Butter.
I am so sorry about your birdie😢we lost Kakariki as well in march
I'm sorry for your loss of Rosita :(
I had tried to use warm water to "soak" the vent of my female birds.
One time my lovebird, seemed a little clumsy at the bottom of the cage and I was able to tell an egg was ready to come out. Due to her slight clumsiness, I was worried if she could possibly starting to be egg bound. I held her and placed her tail and vent in some warm water hoping it could help. She did lay the egg after, so all was good.
The next time it was my older budgie. She has been living with another female for their whole lives. When I adopted them I was told they were 3 years old and I have them for 2 years, so they are about 5 years old. One day when I got home from work I saw blood all over the cage and Cloudy was missing a nail. It was the time I had to separate them when not monitored as they get into fights all the time. After the separation, one day Sunny appeared to be sick, not moving around and puffed up. Her vent was swollen and dirty. I gently washed her bottom with warm water every couple of hours for 2 days, then a day before our avian vet appointment, I saw an egg at the bottom of the cage.... I believe it was her first egg ever...
Great video as always, keep up the good work. Sorry for your loss.
Egg binding is something that I am so scared of, because of the death threat. Plus the fact that all the ones that I was aware of, did not make it.
Thx again for the infos. Keep up the good work. I need it.
Pls get male birds only...thats the solution
😱😱my Tesla’s going to vet tomorrow with one???!
@@dorothyhome577 - I feel so sorry for you. I am sending you courage and the best for your baby. 👉 Keep us posted.
Thank you Donna! I have two female budgies. My avian vet found a lump on one of my birds last week. So they took a x ray of her. Thought it might have been an egg. She consoled with a avian radiologist. No egg. And everything is ok now. I was really scared for Rocky. Great information! Now I will know what to keep an eye on them. Really appreciate it! ❤🐦
Hope Rocky is okay.
@@Loveofpets thank you Donna! She's doing great now.😊
Those are such beautiful birds!
My African Grey was egg bound. Vet misdiagnosed...then I asked for xray... because I thought something was stuck as I thought African Grey was Male. Xray showed egg...that was 3 years ago and Bailey is 23 years old now! Yay!
I'm very sorry for your losses!
I'm so sorry to hear about Rosita. I just had a young diamond dove get egg bound recently and despite massive weight loss she survived the anaesthesia and extraction process. We feel so lucky that she's still with us, it was much more likely that she wouldn't wake up from sedation. May we be spared further egg issues in our birds.
Nadje, we’re afraid our little diamond dove is egg bound right now.
So sorry for your loss, I lost a bird coming out of anesthesia, probably was a blessing in disguise, was discovered the lump on back was cancerous and had spread under wing. Very dangerous for small birds going under anesthesia. So don't kick yourself, you are a very caring bird person, and you give your birds the best care.
Very helpful video! This can save birds lives. Great information. 💕
Donna, Another informative video that I’m sure will save lives. So sorry about Rosita! When you showed the sympathy card with the feathers I could feel the tears coming. As you noted, it is important to have an avian vet, and the card illustrates how the people at avian vets actually understand how much our birds mean to us. So many people say, “ It was just a bird. You can get a new one. “. They really do not understand. I will tell the people at my avian vet about your channel so they can pass the information to their clients, and the clients can be educated by your videos. Sending hugs from Florida.
Thank you.
I'm sooo sorry to hear about Rosita! *huggles* I've also lost a budgie to egg-binding, actually it was cancer. She was acting like your Rosita, and I rushed her to the vet, but what I thought was a stuck egg, was a tumor. It's important & I'm thankful you shared her story with us.
Thank you and so sorry about your loss. Sometimes the lump is a growth instead of an egg.
@@Loveofpets You're welcoem and thank you. Yeah, at least I tried to do the right thing and get her help for egg binding. In the end I did get her help, by having her put down so she wouldn't suffer. *sighs*
I lost my cockatiel Goldie last night after 11 years of having her. Your video helped me prepare. I took her to the vet. Her uterus had dropped along with the egg ☹ I have her sad mate on my shoulder and just trying to keep him entertained. Thank you for your video 💟
So sorry for your loss. My heart is with you. ❤
I’ve never seen a parakeet that color beautiful
Thank you for sharing your story with Rosita . So sorry for your loss. Such a beautiful girl. Raspberry must miss her.💙
Thank you for sharing this video it's very informative and helpful. I've not had an egg bound bird but it would greatly concern me.
Very informative! Thank you so much😊
Beautiful coral color bird. I've never seen that color before. Sorry for your loss.
Beautiful video. Honestly I'm going to smash that like button. You're amazing, Donna you give great information trust me. Happy to see you and your birds again. Beautiful video it definitely is a pleasure to see you and your birds. Much respect.
I’ve learned so much from your videos ... thank you
Another great video. Thankyou. It's so important to be at least aware of this, even with the best care in the world a bird could still be prone to this condition. Plus sometimes people don't even know the sex of their bird until an egg appears!
Very good review-Think I lost an adopted Cockatiel to being eggbound😞
I am not a breeder-but have had birds for many years.
im sorry these videos are making my heart hurt so badly its the stress
Thx Donna. I never had problem w/Esmeralda, lovebird. She passed away in August, 4 mths away from 15 yrs. But I was always afraid of egg bounding which I didn't know about until few yrs ago. Sorry for your lost and that was soo nice what the hospital did!! I'm still emotional w/my losing my first bird, Esmeralda. So it brought tears 😭
So sorry for your loss 😢
I'm so sorry for your loss 💛
Thank you, she was a sweety and deeply missed.
Super helpful thank you 🙏🏻 - sorry for your loss 😢
Sorry for your loss. Poor Rosita.
thanks for making this video, i have a female budgie, and i'm worried in case she may become egg bound,
Our lineolated parakeet is egg bound and will get surgery today to implode the egg through the vent! Thank you for this video ! Sorry for you loss!
I hope the surgery goes well. Glad my video helped.
Thank you so much😊 this video is amazing💖 love your channel 💗
This was really help full my bird had a egg stuck and she need some help thank fully I help her thx so much
Thank you so much for this video
Good luck, hope she is okay
I'm so sorry for what happened to Rosite 😢. I wanted to thank you for making this video because I never even knew about yoke parrotinitis, I don't think that how you spell it anyways, now if something happens to my female budgie, I know more about it ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you and glad it helped you to learn more about birds
Thank you for this wonderful video. I had a cockatiel that became egg bound. The vet helped her pass the egg. She was deficient in calcium. I hope that doesn’t happen to the females I have now. Cape Parrot and Pineapple Green Cheek Conure.
Sorry for Rosie. Well my first experience that happened to me was I saw my only female lovebird different n I check on her thinking that she wasn’t eating properly n she was hungry too. But I saw/feel a bumpy around her leg n went I touched she was very uncomfortable n I got so nervous that I put drops of bottle water n carefully slowly pushed it out n rinse her because it was tiny bleeding too, I was so scared about her n didn’t wanted her to die, I put a little bit of antibiotics ointment on a cotton swab put some in around n hold her with a small towel then I made a thick mash of Harrison pellets mashed well n put in a dropper n feed her, then I put her inside her cage n she didn’t looked good but was feeling better than before, next day I feed her by hand another mash again twice a day n put some more antibiotics n by a week she started feeling more normal but no as before yet. N still here. I used ointment antibiotics not cream but u can used it to help push the egg out too put some on cotton swab n put it in n around not deep bc the bird are tiny, it will protect it from getting infected as well. I usually after 6pm check their crop to make sure they’re eating if their crop if it’s empty I hand feed again n make sure they don’t go to sleep hungry. When my pair of love birds stress out bc it’s a lot of noise from outside or I’m moving from apt they get nervous n forget to eat I notice it. Th egg bound happened only once but I so terrified that I wanted to help her a least, the bird still here with me, it happened 5 years ago. Each case is different but wanted to tell you what I did.
she's in birdie heaven doing chaotic bird things
New sub , very informative video , thanks
Thanks for the sub! Welcome to my Channel!
Thank you for sharing this helpful video. I'm sorry that Rosita passed out. Your other birds are beautiful. I have a cockatiel that's going thru the same situation and i can't take her to a vet. Where i live
there are only vets for cats and dogs. She has been with that problem for several days. I put her in a seperate cage, now she's not with the male , because i don't want anything to happen to her. I feel sad because they love each other very much. I'm worried that he might loose her.😭 I will miss her too😭 Thank you, I am going to subscribe to Your channel and recommend it to all bird owners that i know👍🐦🐦🐦
How scary. I need to kearn more about this ecen though i hate to think sbout loss.
hello, i have a question. what can someone do if the bird has egg binding but no vet is available?
You have to try to get the eggs out by putting coconut or olive oil on her vagina and you have to try to push the eggs out for her....you have to be very gentle and delicate because if the eggs break inside her it will hurt her really badly and she probably will die...the eggs have to come out in one piece
Sorry for rosita.Maybe changing their place once in a while would help preventing them from laying eggs.
So sorry about Rosita. I hope your Thanksgiving was good. I’ve lost pets at this time of year (Thanksgiving weekend) and I know it can be tough.
Thank you. My Thanksgiving was good. I lost Rosita a few months ago and I was finally able to talk about her.
Desde Port San Lucie,Florida,saludó amigo bonito video. 👍🤝🙏🇨🇺👍🤝🤝🤝🤝👍👍👍🇨🇺
Thank you I’ve had 2 birds died this way. Thank you
@XmenMagnetoAcolytes Is it okay for parakeets to live inside a type of santuary outside and night?
@XmenMagnetoAcolytes thank you by the way do you recommend where I can buy the skin and plummage supplement?
Tks for sharing the egg vent....and sorry your rose Bourge didn’t make it. Long ago when I only had budgies, I saw one of my birds with a swollen vent, and knew she had a egg stuck but there is at that time no Vets here. So she died as well. But I saw a video on how you manually can try softly with vaciline massage the vent and get the fleece to relive the egg. It was a breeder that breeds lots of birds.its quite a delicate process, but it seems one can do it if there is no other alternative. The other problem you spoke about I have no idea what you talking about....🤷🏼♀️......🌹❤️🌹❤️
I have seen videos were the egg is massaged out but it's risky as the egg can break but people have done it. I did try to massage it out but the egg was too big.
Thank you for this video! And thank you for showing visuals of what to look out for. I’m currently monitoring my cockatiel who’s about to lay her third egg and I’m trying to make sure she isn’t egg bound. She lays eggs quite frequently and I’m worried it’s taking a toll on her health. Do you have any tips for discouraging egg laying? I’ve tried rearranging her cage, adding new toys (she doesn’t care much for toys though), having her on a strict daylight schedule, and of course I feed her veggies, pellets (Harrisons), along with seeds. Unfortunately it seems that when I let her sit in my lap and give her head scratches, it triggers her egg laying, even though I’m careful to avoid touching her body. Not sure what to do at this point :(
Donna gave some good tips in her video about decreasing the amount of light in her cage and not providing anything that would look like a nest cavity in her cage. I had a female lineolated parakeet that was a persistent egg layer. First I tried to let her keep her eggs and brood them. (If you keep removing the eggs, she will lay more and more.) I also gave her beads about the same size as her own eggs to sit on. She would brood the eggs for a couple of weeks, but then try laying another clutch. The vet tried Lupron injections, which helped for awhile. Of course my bird got supplemental calcium. What finally worked for me was to get a second linnie female to be a companion to the egg layer. It's risky, but it worked in my situation. My little egg-layer stopped laying eggs eventually once she had a female friend. I was lucky that my second female has never laid any eggs.
Fruit pellets have wheat which may have Roundup. Wheat is gluten which may hurt the gut lining so less nutrients absorb.
Mg not Ca may help muscles. Ca may help the shell. Vets may not be trained to help and may not care, but the birds may live to be 15 years old. I will have to put my female and male in different cages next to each other. Thanks for the video! God bless!
I’m watching this in an effort to understand and heal from grief. I missed red flags that my cocktail was in danger. My husband saw her limping and a friend visiting saw her dilating. It should’ve registered as urgent but I’d had a crazy week with work and was exhausted.. I found my girl dead in the cage this morning. I can’t even begin to tell you the horrific sight it was. Please take this seriously with your female birds. If they lay more than 3 clutches in a year or even a second clutch sooner than 2 months apart. They are in danger of not having enough calcium and getting bound. I am now dealing with her grief if mate and don’t know if I will lose him now
So sorry for your loss. Her mate will grieve for a while and should be okay afterwards. My linnie lost her mate around 8 weeks ago and she has finally stopped screaming and looking for him.
Thank you so much for this video. I didn’t have anything that my bird could do to make a nest and I think she’s egg bound so I put paper towels in her cage
I'm sorry for your loss.
Thank you.
Im sorry for your bird
Such sad news of the passing of Rosita now. You lost Rio a few months back and that was terrible also. But I want you to know that you are providing a great service with your informative videos; here is Egg Binding, you also told us of Yolk Peritonitis and Uropygial glands; I had never heard of any of these and I have had budgies since my adolescent years but never knew of why they passed. Rosita was a beauty; I was never sure of who she was in the videos, along with Rosy, Raspberry and Roxy, because when your birds are out in the bird room, I would see a rosy bourke on a perch, on your head, mingling with other birds, etc, so never knew Rosita on sight. Glad you pointed out the importance of diet (give them dark greens) along with darkening towards end of day. Also, calcium; I provide my budgies with a cuttlebone but now realize that they have not really used it in almost 6 months; have to check if I have it positioned correctly. So nice to see Raspberry and Sterling throughout this video (very well behaved) and of course Jack Sparrow at the very end enjoying his perch at the top of the bird room. Keep us updated on your newly adopted powder blue Budgie.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge with bird owners and hope to educate them. Rosita was such a sweet bird. It was her first attempt at laying an egg and the egg was too big for her to pass. I wish she would of made it through the anesthesia.
Thanks for watching my videos. I may have to re-home my newest budgie but I will give her more time.
@@Loveofpets Uh oh, sounds like it's a male budgie problem (especially Splash) with your newest budgie.
Is there any way of telling if a bird is pregnant with eggs? Is there some kind of warning. What happens if there's no nesting box or nesting material like bits of shredded paper, they won't lay eggs or am I wrong there?
Thankyou.. I 've had 2 budgies pass away after being egg bound...l feel really guilty as both times l was at work working very long hours and was not able to help my birds and they did not show any previous signs of being ill. since then l try to keep a closer eye out for them and look for any odd behavior .
My parakeet has a swollen abdomen. She was very sick back in April. Some has passed. But what do I do now?
Currently one of my Quaker parrots is going through an egg-bound case as well. The egg is lodged deep inside her and unfortunately, the only two options for me are to put her through a risky and expensive surgery or to feed her some pain medication and wait until she's ready to be euthanized... I think I've just about made up my mind and let her pass on. It hurts me to know that her days are numbered now. She seems fine and energetic right now but it's only a matter of time before she gets sick enough to euthanize her. I wish I could have fixed her diet sooner and let her out of the cage more often to exercise. It might have saved her from all this.
Thank you very much. That was very helpful.
I don't know if she has an egg or not.
My two have been together for 5 years. Someone gave them to me.
They could no longer take care of them.
They said she had never laid an egg.
But I'm not so sure. Both birds looked like they were trying to make a nest.
I've never seen them mate but they show signs of wanting to but act like they don't know how.
Lately her lower abdomen looks somewhat swollen/ puffy.
I really can't afford a vet just for the sake of going to one. They both had a wellness check when I first got them 4 months ago.
They had been kept in their cage for 5 years!!!. Right now I have gotten them to eat millet from my hands. The boy is. Stepping up some and both are doing well at "touch". They finally are coming out and sitting on the perches I put outside of their cage. They have started flying a little.
I have a 15 yr old African grey parrot. I just dealt with the egg bound thing for the first time. My parrot has been struggling to go to the bathroom for a couple of weeks +. Runny, mucousy poo. Everyone everywhere gives the same advice: Take her to an expert. It's an emergency, take her to a vet!! This is what would have been involved had I taken the vet route. $500 to clip the nail, draw blood to rule out any illness. Then an xray, another few hundred $$ dollars. They would see the egg on the xray then want to do emergency surgery, so they would sedate the bird, then remove the egg. Thousands of dollars later, I would have a traumatized sedated bird after paying thousands of dollars for a needless surgury. This is what I did instead. Cooked some organic quinoa, and a little top ramen type noodles, added a blob of coconut oil. She ate it and the next day, she passed the egg. She is doing much better and it didn't cost anything. This might not work with every egg bound parrot but it's a good place to start. I notice the internet won't let anyone post advice anymore unless they have a license. It's dumb. I searched everywhere and found NO practical home remedies for this situation. Lastly, I also got some Lekton brand vitamins. Amazon $15. This really helps bc it has calcium. I notice an immediate improvement in her after adding this to her diet.
Calcium and vitamin D .. with UVB
Nice video...
And this is why i got 2 males 😭 and I just hope the breeder didn't lie...
Your budgies are beautiful 😍😍What's the mutation of that orange one?
My female budgie laid an egg on no17 now It's nov 21 and she hasn’t laid the 2nd egg. She does have a mate. She looks fine and flies around. her vent isn’t that bug but still shouldnt she have laid the 2nd egg already?
Thats why im so getting male birds only no female with the whole egg binding, York breaking...hormonal problems....so many issues...male birds are the best
Two females or two males may help. I did not know when I got the birds what I was getting even though the color on the beak may help.
@@Shasha8674 NEVER GET 2 FEMALES YOU WILL HAVE double the problem....I only buy male birds no female...never will I also dont want to breed them so why should I get a female in the first place
@@sooosuss7154 I pray I can help my current female, but if both are female then they can't get pregnant.
@@Shasha8674 of course they can....if they are female they can produce eggs even though the Male is not present....the eggs are not fertile and the risk of egg bound and Yolk breaking are even higher because those eggs are often deformed and can cause a lot of issues.....like I said I had a single female parrotlet and after 3 years she started to have issues regarding eggs and she died at the end....I WILL NEVER GET FEMALE BIRDS AGAIN....TOOO MUCH HASSLE AND THE LOSS IS PAINFUL....the smaller the birds the risk are higher and it ends with terminal deaths....her ringneck Rio is also alone with no Male bird present yet she died because the egg an the Yolk broke inside her...it is important that you inform yourself on this topics not a lot of people talk about it
@@sooosuss7154 Thanks!
My birds going through egg binding right now my heart is hurting like physically hurting like if im sick
Your budgie same as mine but I couldn't find the name of the budgie. Lutino?
My budgie egg had some feathers stuck and it Peeled itself a bit...will it be viable
Do you use or know where to buy special uv lights for birds in Canada? (except amazon)
I will get back to you on that. I attended a seminar on avian first aid and they did talk about lighting. I will find out the source of the lighting soon.
Incase anyone is watching this with an eggbound bird and no avain vet there are things you can do to successfully treat some cases of egg binding at home. Before I say more this is NOT a substitute for an avian vet, if you can get to an avain vet go there. Unfortunately if your hen gets eggbound on Friday night, you may not actually get into a vet until Monday and for an eggbound hen Monday is too late. Always try to get to an avain vet, but in the event you can't you can help your bird with some success.
First off oil her up. Virgin olive oil is ideal, but I've used unsented baby oil. If you're dealing with an eggbound hen at home, you've reached the point of desperation and cooking oils or baby oil is all an option. Use what you have. You're gonna need to oil up her vent area and gently into the vent with your little finger. Litteraly just the tip, you're only trying to help the egg glide out a little easier. You're in essence lubing up the hen.
Warmth to the vent and surrounding mussle is needed to relax strained muscles and inflation. Warm (not hot) compresses, hold her over steam. Whatever you can do to get warmth into very tired and inflamed muscles. Once she gets too far into the eggbinding her muscles will become inflamed further making it difficult to pass the egg. You're trying to help her muscles relax a little to further open her vent passage.
Calcium and D3 are essential. If you have indoor birds you should already have this supplement at home. She's gonna need a high dose of this. If you know how to crop feed, do that to get the supplement in, but if you don't then use a syringe to get it in her mouth. Just be very careful if using a syringe TINY droplets at a time, don't aspirate your hen. I have in the past given 0.1ml of water addative calcium and D3 directly to small species hen. That's a LOT. When you consider 10ml to 500ml water. Is the usual dilution rate, twice weekly. Here's the deal, too much calcium is treatable, untreated eggbinding is fatal in a matter of hours. You've already tried every vet in the area. At this point it's a do nothing and lose the bird, do something and have a chance at saving the bird situation.
If you have meloxicam left over from any previous vet visits for the bird (or a cat it's literally the exact same stuff for cats and dogs) give the bird this at the correct dosage for the size of your bird. Its both a pain reliver and anti inflammatory. She'll thank you for it if you have it available.
Keep her in a warm and comfortable hospital cage as shown in this video.
You can as a desperate last option and only if you are absolutely certain the bird won't survive until the vet trip attempt to massage the egg out. This is very dangerous and not to be done unless your bird is looking at the end and you've done everything else and given her some time to pass it. If you break the egg inside the bird, she's done. Do NOT attempt this unless you have called every vet in a hundred mile radius and your bird is completely out of energy and unable to continue herself. There are videos on RUclips on how to do this. It has to be done in a very specific way. Its something vets are trained to do correctly. Again I can't stress enough how much of a last effort this needs to be to untrained bird owners.
It's a shame that avain vets are so hard to find and one that does out of hours emergency trips are like trying to find hens teeth in the dark. No one should ever need to consider home treatment for an eggbound hen. A vet is what's needed, but unfortunately I've met many people who've lost a hen due to out of hours avain vets being so rare.
It's not garunteed you can save your hen, but there is a chance. My last eggbound girl lost use of both legs, was unable to even hold her head up anymore. She wasn't long for the world. She's still terrorising my flock today, because I made a choice to try and do something for her at home. It WAS risky. I could have unalived her in the process, but she was garunteed to be lost if I did nothing.
hey doanna could plz suggest me that what should I do after my budgie`s egg binding? I removed the egg from her body. Now what should I provide her?
Hi, provide extra calcium. Provide cuttlebone. You can scare the cuttlebone into her food if she won't touch it. Also provide veggies that provide calcium. You can also get Avian liquid or powered calcium. They can overdose on calcium so be careful.
If she is not feeling well then keep her warm and in a separate hospital/travel cage.
my bird is egg bound right now, it’s 9pm and i doubt there’s any vets open, i’m scared she’s gonna die... do you know what’ll help?
Hi, I saw your comment now. I just wanted to know what happened because I’m in the same position right now :(((
Kindly do you know if any type of lubricant can be used to save the bird and make it more easy for the bird to lay the egg because once I was told tgat they use some kind of oil?
Hi, my certified avian vet to never use oil on a bird. Use only water soluble ointments that can be rinsed or wiped off. It's best to see an avian vet if your bird is egg bound.
@@Loveofpets Thanks, I was worried about my bird because it is in an aviary and difficult to catch because there are other birds and they will all be frightened but luckily I checked after an hour and she layed her first egg and it was quite big, today I checked again while she was bathing and she have four eggs and when she went in the nest the male went near her and started feading her!
So I think they got married and maybe the eggs could hatch.
Will see!
Good news!
Is the bird not able to fly also if it’s egg bound. My female budgie has vent swollen and she tries to fly but then not able to. I am not sure if she is egg bound. Moreover we have not provided any nest in the cage to avoid egg laying
Hi, in my experience they were not able to fly when egg bound. Its best to have her checked out by an avian vet as its not always an egg binding problem. Another possibility is that it may be a tumor.
Donna, Iam soooo Sorry you lost your Rosy bourse.When I lost my little female Quaker parrot at the vet hosp I received a card much like yours.I had alotnof her feathers but I threw them out because she had such a contagious virvus that I worried about my Timneh Grey Stormy Boy But Iam sorry that I didn’t ask my vet if I could have saved her little feathers.They all signed my card too and told me that it was obvious how much I loved my Ollie girl.I have the letter and her ashes.They even bought me a little urn for her ashes and I cry over her almost everyday.I had a cocktail that had an egg crack inside of her .She screamed one night and died immediately.In retrospect I was responsible for her death .I was told that she needed to have calcium and a pellet diet .That was waaaay back in 1988 when I was just starting to keep pet birds again. Thank you for sharing all of your experiences even though some of them are extremely hard for you to Do emotionally
I have A cockatiel and I think she is having trouble with her fourth egg 😢
Take her to an avian vet if she can't pass it.
i well but the problem is where I live there’s not a lot of vets by the way I love your vids so much😊
Update: She was done laying eggs so she is all ok!! 😊😃
When you say it’s common with small birds, how common? Specially with Cockatiels?
I’m a first stone bird owner I have a cockatiel don’t know if it’s male if female since it’s a colour mutation but he’s not the noisiest bird. But definitely not the quietest so I really have no idea
You can have a dna test done at your avian vets and that way if it's a female you can watch out for egg binding.
can you tell me some foods i should give other then spinach
Hi, this video shows other foods that I feed my birds ruclips.net/video/yaxxx1SZogE/видео.html
How much was your vet bill?
I can't remember how much the bill was.
Hello .please after canary mating when should I see eggs in my situation mating been going for 14 days .I'm asking because the female is pregnant but she can't deliver yet ..and she sit most the time in the nest .not perching..what should i do .thank you .
Hi, usually after 2 days they lay eggs. Your canary may be egg bound and needs veterinarian care.
@@Loveofpets thank you so much for your reply.i will try to help her push it out . really appreciate your reply.
Hi,,my lovebirds lays 4 eggs 2 had hatched,,should I remove the other 2 infertiles eggs?
Hi, you can remove them after a few days otherwise they may start to rot. I usually left them until the hatchlings are two or three days old do so that I don't disturb the parents.
I lost my budgie to egg binding in October 2020... her egg was oversized and I didn't want to risk the surgery because she was so small she would likely not wake up.. and even if she did, the vet said she could get egg bound again, so she was euthanised :(
Awh, so sorry for your loss. Fly free little one.
So sorry you lost your wee girl. 😢
Thank you
Last time my tiel got eggbound i let her out from cage to let her move as much as she could, and she could pass very deformed egg by herself. I was just lucky that time, as i am very aware of the egg bounding problem i have always kept vitamins and minerals available. It seems to me that home birds in northern countries need more vit D than they get from foods, wich are made much more southern countries.
Glad your Cockatiel passed her egg.
Hey there’s a guy on tik tok who gives bird information in the summer time he put this tea in there water so it calms them down I forgot what tea but I could find out
I have heard about the tea and researching it, thank you.
I'm pretty certain my dove is bound and there's no vet or emergency vet able to take her and this is almost day six I'm not sure she's gonna make it and it's breaking my heart
Sorry about the loss of yours, going through everything right now with a first timer pineapple conure, she is about 1 1/2 years old, and I found your video, had no idea ! Will definitely watch her closely. She is showing now and finds her mate annoying, so I separated them for the time being.
Is this a good idea or not ?
( your opinion )
Thank you. It may cause more stress if separated. You can keep them together just make sure not to provide any caves or boxes that will look like a nest box.
Shorten the daylight time as longer daylight brings them into breeding mode.
@@Loveofpets what I was trying to say is that they have been mating and her and his attitudes and behavior has changed. I have hand feed both of them and have been with me for 2 years with the female is 1 1/2 years.
New to breeding and found your video extremely helpful!
My 25 year old cockatiel
Just died.im so upset.he loved me so much.
He will be missed.
Awh, so sorry for your loss 😓.
Hi.. can you please tell me how long can an egg binded budgie live.. my budgie seems to be egg binded since 3-4 months..
Birds can die in a few days when egg bound so your bird may have a different problem.
@@Loveofpets thank you so much.. 😇
Just happens to our precious baby and we lost her. So terribly sad.
So sorry for your loss 😪
I'm so sorry for Rosita.😥
Thank you
I had a female parakeet also but she passed anyway, she actually laid a couple of eggs before she passed but she did not have a nest box. Is that normal? And she also did not have a mate. I still have one of her eggs till this day.
Sorry about your loss. Female birds will lay eggs without a nest box or without a male.
Love of Pets oh. Thanks! I actually have a male budgie now. His name is Charlie.
That’s Rosy Bourke .When I use my iPhone sometimes it can misspell words.I didn’t want you to think I was trying to be funny as Iam extremely sorry for your little Rosy Bourke girl.if she passed away under Anastasia I am guessing she didn’t feel any pain.Anyway , I hope that was the case.May she Rest In Peace.
Thank you, I feel bad for her. No worries about typos, I do it all the time. My phone changes words on me 🤗
Hi my birds say hi
Lol😂
Didnt she have enough calcium? Is that why she had a egg bind???? :/
@love of pets I watched your video of owning a cockatiel I will be getting a cockatiel in 3 months the only issue with me is I share a room with my sis and she sometimes uses candle barely and she has like a lot of creams and hair perfume and stuff so I want a bird so should I get it I will take really good care feed them apple bananas carrots and healthy bird food and play with him I even got a playground and I even got a bird carrier and toys I have a cage already so pls let me know if I should get it since I want him to live with me forever 😀 pls let me know thx and I live in Canada so in winter it gets cold so I want a bird heater so should I get it the cage is gonna be with me in my bedroom not near windows since the window will produce cold air or should I just use my house heater! Thx
Hi, good for you for preparing yourself and educating yourself before bringing a bird home. Your sister will have to stop burning candles and using scents etc in the same room as your bird as it can be deadly to a bird. If your room is cold then you can use the bird snuggle heater.
Unfortunately, one of my birds just died from this. She was a great bird. She's had many eggs without problems before, but this time something went wrong.
So sorry for your loss 😔
@@Loveofpets Thank you so much.
if i put a nest in their cage will she lay the eggs herself? or does she need professional vet to help her
Hi. Sorry this is late. If your bird is having egg laying difficulty she will lay eggs even if she doesn't have a nest box however some birds may lay eggs easier in a nest box. Nest boxes will encourage egg laying so don't leave it in there very long.
She will need to see an avian vet if she cannot lay the egg.
