You can just remove any newly laid eggs and discard them if you don't want to hatch any more babies. Many captive birds will continuously lay eggs, so just removing them is fine. If you are looking to rehome some birds, it would be best to put an ad in a local paper, or contact any local stores near you. Most pet stores already have contracts in place with breeders, so you may need to find another option for rehoming them.

Time, patience, and lots of treats. If you notice Curio has a favorite food, you can start by offering that favorite food only when you're interacting with him. IE, when you pet him, approach his cage, let him out, etc. This can help him to associate you with something fun/good and also make him more curious every time you come by to spend time with him. The same can also be done with toys he likes to play with. Sitting near them when he's out of the cage playing, and feeding a treat every time he comes close or shows interest in you can help teach him that you are safe to interact with and play around. If at any time Curiou becomes nervous or scared, stopping the activity and letting him calm down is best. From there, you can go back to the previous way he was OK with (IE just giving a treat from your hand but not petting) and work again from there.

Hi there! I'm not sure if you're trying to get in touch with your local Petco about a dog you're adopting, perhaps? We are an online question and answer service, made up of experts all over the world - so we don't have access to any logistical information about your local Petco :) I would recommend calling the specific location you're trying to reach to set up a time to go and see the dog you're interested in.

You can brush your dog at home with a dog brush or human hair brush. If you truly cannot afford to feed your bird, then you are going to have to find someone who wants to adopt it or surrender it to a shelter, as you can't allow it to starve to death.

If the skin is broken and bleeding, Lemon Drop is at risk for infection. Even if you have no local avian veterinarian, a small animal vet should be able to treat her. A specialist can be consulted online or by phone. The antibiotics and medications used are similar, just the dose is much smaller. A small e-collar (cone) may need to be fashioned to prevent her from plucking. In the meantime, lean and sanitize the cage, bowls, toys and perches. Discard anything that cannot be sanitized. Use paper towels on the cage bottom and change them daily to keep the cage clean. Provide a variety of toys and treats to keep her distracted from picking. Bathe or mist her with warm water a few times a week to promote preening and healthy skin and plumage.
