Best answer: Double yolk eggs just means it would have been twin chicks if it were fertilized by a male, it's rare but normal. Hens naturally try to lay eggs until they can lay a 'clutch', which I would say is around a dozen eggs. Think about birds nests, they never have just one egg at a time. Birds naturally try to lay more eggs after laying their first one. The reason is because they don't know which of their eggs was fertilized so they try to lay all the developed yokes that they're carrying. The soft shells may or may not indicate that the hen wasn't nourished enough to make that many hard shells so quickly.

Best answer: If they will step up on your finger or hand, bring them to face you while you talk to them. Hand feed them treats. Ask your partner if he/she has any ideas.

Outside my work there is a small bird just sitting on a wall looking as if it is sleeping. It doesn’t even move when approached unless there is a loud noise. It’s not in a very dangerous place and is out of the way of most people. Should i do something?

my husband is interested in getting a parrot but i am worried about my cat . he is used to being the only pet in the house for 6 years would he tolerate a parrot sharing the attention???

I’m thinking on getting a parakeet as a new member of the family, but I was wondering if they’d let you hold a parakeet in an enclosed room or something? Just to see if you’d like that specific bird or to help you decide whether you want a parakeet or not? I know my PetSmart lets you go into this side room to play with the cats and see if you’d like to adopt them, so I didn’t know if they did the same for the parakeets. Thanks in advance 💕

Best answer: Quite a few do keep swan for pets. they are territorial like geese and make good watchdogs.
Yes, they would be safe but you don't want to make one mad at you.
They would need a sizable pond:

I asked my parents if I could get a parakeet and they said they were to loud, how to I keep them quiet at night?

Best answer: It looks like a moorhen chick.

I have convinced my parents into getting a lovebird. But as it is my first time getting a lovebird, I would appreciate if someone told me all about them as I definitely know it's not going to be the same as looking after a budgie. I am going to get one masked lovebird. Here are main things I am interested in finding out: 1) How loud can one actually get? 2) When's the best time training one when first brought into it's new home? 3) Is there any way knowing if it's female or male? 4) Are they good pets? 5) What can they and can not eat? 6) Are they child friendly? (To toddlers) 7) Can they mimic speech? (Not really interested in this, but would be nice knowing) 8) Can they mimic whistles? 9) Does a cage for one have to be massive? 10) What's the best training treat? And that's about it :)

Best answer: 1. Cockatiels, like most birds, cannot see in the dark. Not even as well as you can. But they have excellent vision when there is light; they can see the finest details and colors, and probably even in the ultraviolet range which you cannot see.
2. Yes, a cockatiel can pinch hard and break the skin when it bites. It can draw blood.
3. Yes, it is okay for cockatiels to drink the water as long as it is safe for humans.

Best answer: My cockatiel has a cage 2ft x 3ft x 3ft and spends 4 -6 hours a day with his door open so he can exercise.
I would consider his cage barely large enough if he spent all his time in it.
It would need to be much larger if he had a companion.

I have always wanted a budgie, and recently have been thinking about getting one. I asked my mom and after a whole lot of convincing, she said yes, but there's one catch. My parents are divorced, and I am only at her house every other week. She agreed to take care of them, but she won't be able to have any one-on-one time with them like I would. I am planning on getting a huge flight cage and two or three budgies. Do you think it would be ok for them to not have much interaction every other week?
