We've had a ringneck dove for 30 years! He has always been happy, jumping perch to perch, cooing. The best is when he giggles, he does it when family argues. Breaks up the argument every time. Recently he has started a strange ritual. He lifts his head straight back onto his back.He acts like he is dizzy or losing balance. Then it stops and he acts normal again.Any ideas what might be wrong with him? Thanks, Kim

Your cage may be too small. The two loosing their feathers are most likely being 'plucked' by the other two. Putting them in a separate cage where they aren't picked at will allow the feathers to grow back.

They might be molting like my Budgerigar Parakeets.

looking for a baby male cockatiel to purchase. my Prissier passed away after 18 years. she was so sweet. she would com and sit on my shoulder while I was eating dinner. and she wanted me to chew mt=y veggies, and she would eat the food from my tongue. I know !!! but she was so loved. I am alone now, and I asked management if I could have one and she said yes. like I said, I am on social security, so I have very little money, but a whole lot of love to give him. I live in knoxville,tn, and I do not drive..so he will have constant care. thanks for your consideration. miss Linda

I have a pair of finches, don't know exactly what kind. She laid 2 eggs, and they ended up on the floor of the cage, I'am hoping they exccidently fell when they were both in the nest sleeping. What do you suggest I do? maybe buy another nest that is deeper? Please advice. Thank You

First find out the type of finch and get the nest box accordingly. Each finch may use a different type of nest shape.

i was very inexperienced n listened to my young grandchildren in helping me pick out some finches not knowing i shouldnt mix different varieties and ended up w a female zebra finch i believe a male white and black society finch and an old spice finch my friend didnt want. i bought a larger flight cage so theyd be happier. and despite later finding out u shouldnt mix different species the zebra finch and white n black society finch mated but the cage i bought was faulty and i woke up n the female zebra finch squeezed out of an opening in the back n i found her dead i believe my kitty got her in the middle of the night along w my old spice finch and only the white n black society finch was in the cage and continued sitting on the eggs until today then abandoned the nest. so i was devistated and sent my daughter in law and grandchildren to the pet store and told her buy the last 4 society finches in hopes id get at least 1 or 2 females and didnt want to make the same mistake mixing different varieties of finch but when she got back the 4 new ones all looked the same i believe theyre chocolate pied and the are much smaller than the white n black bird i thought was a society finch. now im confused and wondering if the white n black one thats much bigger isnt a society finch at all. can anybody answer this for me

Can you describe it maybe its a Black-and-white mannikin

My social & zebra finches keep having more and more babies. Last count I easily had 16. I’ve been told the only way to prevent having too many is to remove their nesting baskets. This seems very inhumane. I would love to find a good home for some of them but my aviary will not hold many more birds comfortably. They are such a happy family!
Anyone know anything to help? Thank you.

What neck of the woods are you in, im interested in your finches?
Anonymous - 2021-12-27
It might seem bad to remove the nest and I also thought it was bad but if they lay too many eggs the female can die from lack of calcium and other things and the male can die form getting over worked and lack of rest.

Our Rudy, the Green-Cheeked Amazon/Mexican Red-Headed Amazon parrot,with whom we shared our home with, had flown away. Rudy was fully clipped, but wasn’t tethered on my shoulder that day, the week before Labor Day, 1991. I held my hand and fingers over his talons. Rudy backed out from my grip when our “bald” neighbor man walked out his back door, slamming the door behind him. He was heard but not seen in the medium tall tree on the terrace in front of and two doors down fron our house. We lived in Milwaukee, just southwest of Bluemound Rd. and 92nd St. at rhat time just before Labor Day 1991.
After many fliers with offer of a reward, were posted in Milwaukee all the way south into Hales Corners, and after many weeks, we had to stop looking. Cold weather had set in, sowe felt that he would’ve flown onto someone’s arm (I taught him that), and hoped that someone rehomed Rudy.
I miss Rudy, wholeheartedly to this day. Rudy would have aged to 37-39 years old. If you think that you still have our Rudy, please love him and cuddle with him that much more for me. Give Rudy a kiss on his cheek for me.
