  4. bristlenose have hooks on their fins they use for defense and axys eat most things that will fit in their mouths so it may be a recipe for some damage to either

    pretty pretty where have you been fishing? looks almost like a juvenile black angel fish haven't seen one that small though so don't lnow if they start with the red patch at around 2 inches they are yellow with blue dots in lines sort of on the body
  11. 2 minute noodles and weetbix are good not together though
  12. all our parrots get sunflower and safflower but in moderation you will find as many feeding regimes as you find bird keepers fruit and veges are all good, except those avocados sweet corn is loved and they will destroy an apple to get the pips his breast should be like a moderate tegel chicken that will give you an indication of meat on it young birds don't have as much muscle there until they start using their wings the breast bone should not feel like a yatch keel it may seem like he is just dropping things on the ground but he will be ingesting little bits where the neck meets the chest, wisbone area is the crop and you will be able to feel if it has something in it
  13. budgie and sunflower is a good mix to use, millet sprays don't worry about over feeding he will sort it out eats like a bird is a true saying too much sunflower can be fattening i don't feed any cooked food except porridge, other do so that is up to you i don't feed meat but do feed dog biscuits variety is the spice of life
  14. i have generally found that so long as your bird has exercise they don't tend to over eat too much sprouted seeds or mung bean mix from the supermarket are good
  15. ours return to shoulder quire well when free flight there is always the chance they will get a fright and keep on flying though conures when pet birds consider their humans to be their family so usually don't stray too far the big problem with a clipped birds finally flying is knowing where they are when up in the sky they usually haven't seen the world from that angle before and panic can set in the other thing is knowing how to brake and land when moving at speed teaching your bird to come when called is one way of minimising any risks involved, this can be achieved by using a special treat and rewarding each time it does it all our maroon bellies like to be on you just my experiences with them
  16. eclectus start clicking back at you
  17. i am pretty sure i have 2 males and a female the 2 main ones in vid do a lot of side bumping and the male nudges the anal area at the end of vid the 2 males have a mouth to mouth spar
  18. yes they are happy or another word that means the same
