Egg Bound Parakeet
You want to keep her warm and in a very humid environment; we get a water soaked hot towel, put it in a clean bucket put the bird on top of the towel and then cover the bucket with another towel. while she is resting in the bucket go to the kitchen and get some apple sauce (hope you have some) get some olive oil or, mineral oil even, Vaseline will do.........heat you towel up again and let her sit another 5 minutes. Now get a q-tip and saturate it with your lube; you may want a helper for the next step.....gently restrain the bird in your hand abdomen down and out; have your helper feel between the pelvis bone to see if the egg is broken or not and where it is. Now gently use your q-tip with ky jelly or whatever on the tip and GENTLY lubricate the birds vent. Now gently use your middle finger and help the egg out by pushing gently in and down on the outside of her abdomen. Small movements is the key and did I mention be gentle. You are just massaging the egg out don't push too hard or you will hurt the bird and break the egg.........if the egg breaks just keep massaging her abdomen until it looks like everything is out. if you have a small syringe and a surgical tube you can evacuate the abdomen with sterile water.
Give the bird some applesauce if you know how; it will help her get cleaned out. Make sure she stays warm and has plenty of water. Keep calcium in her cage to help harden the next set of eggs. Good luck.

What do parrots like to eat?
1)
Parrots like to eat almost everything. You can
also feed them human leftovers, as their vitamin needs are very similar to that
of a human. However, never feed them avocados, pears, chocolate, tea, coffee,
salt, uncooked potato, or alcohol because these foods can be lethal. The
majority of their diet should consist of fruit and vegetables, along with some
cheese, hard-boiled egg, chicken bone, or fish. Beyond that, you can supplement
their diet with parrot food or pellets. Another tip, parrots naturally prefer
warm foods because they come from tropical areas. Keeping this in mind, it may
help to zap the food in the microwave for a few seconds before serving it.

Should I change my birdfeeder food between summer and winter?
In the winter months there are no insects for birds to eat, so it is more important that they have an abundance of food in the feeder. As for what kinds of food, it can be the same seeds that you offer the birds in the summer.

Do wild birds eat out of people's hands?
1)
It is quite possible to have a wild bird come
and eat out of your hand. The key is to remain very calm and not make any
sudden movements. Have the food (probably seeds are best) in your hand and try
to make sure the bird sees you. It helps if you make eye contact with the bird
and even speak softly and in a very calm manner to it. Try to let it know that
you are not an enemy. Have your hand held out so he can see the food. Finally,
if he comes and lands on your hand, don't become scared and pull your hand
away!
