I want a pet bird but I have NO space!! I want one of those gothic hanging cages…would one of those work? What’s a bird that’s low maintenance (I’m not good at cleaning cages) I also want one with a not super long life span.
Birds can be fun pets to have around the house, but I have to say that they are all high-maintenance. They require daily feeding, cleaning bathing and appropriate enrichment in order to keep them happy and healthy. If this is not provided, then you may end up with a miserable/sickly bird with no feathers. Vet bills can be very expensive when birds get sick, because there are limited veterinarians that are knowledgable and skilled with avian medicine. Providing as much space as possible is best for a bird. I think I have an idea of the type of cage you want, but this is not a very suitable cage for anything other than a small bird (tend to have shorter life-spans than bigger birds). Even then it's quite small for a bird, because birds are born with the expectation of having unlimited space. You will also have to consider the noise. If your place is small, then I'd assume you have close neighbors. Birds are generally very noisy and can easily make some enemies in close quar

My pet pigeon weighs about 90g and he is 5 days old. My question is, how many times should I feed him per day? I feed him 3 times a day with baby mix (about 10 ml - each feeding), but during the night I don't feed him, so that his crop can empty. Is
Ideally I would feed a baby bird every 2 hours during the day then allow it 12 hours of darkness at night. You can also give a little water in a syringe. Use a good mix formulated for baby birds. Good luck.

Hi I think I have an egg bound bird. She’s been laying eggs every other day except for 1 day where she layed it the next day. I came home today to her 4th egg but I see her on the bottom of the cage with her bottom up and puffed out. There’s a bit o
Most birds will lay one egg every other day. The condition is more common in smaller breeds, and can be more serious as well. Ideally, she should be examined by a veterinarian or an experienced avian veterinarian. If one is unavailable right now, provide supplemental heat, about 90 F. Soak her for 20-30 minutes in a warm Epsom salt solution, enough to submerge her vent. Dry thoroughly then use a sterile lubricant (or vegetable oil) around the vent. Monitor for lethargy, straining or difficulty breathing. If she develops any of these symptoms, she should be seen at the nearest veterinary ER immediately. Be sure to feed a balanced diet and provide a cuttlebone or mineral block for additional calcium. Limit seeds and offer mainly a commercial pelleted diet (Harrison's, Lafeber, KayTee Exact or Pretty Bird) supplemented with fresh fruits and vegetables.

Hi, I wanted to know when is the best time to take my conure to vet. We just got him four days ago
Hello. This is a great time to have your bird examined. Your veterinarian will do a general wellness exam & examine a fecal sample for parasites. This would be a very good start to a long, happy, healthy life for Peyton. Thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Thanks for reaching out about Ettienne. Cat bites are notorious for being dirty and causing infections. Systemic antibiotics are required as topicals will not penetrate into wounds. A veterinary visit must be scheduled for tomorrow, if an emergency veterinary clinic is not available this evening (preferred). Monitor appetite and activity. Good luck.
