Got a brother and sister for sale shortly, non-registered, will be ready in a couple months!
I got 3 brothers n 2 sisters.....free to good home. I'll throw in a niece n sis n law to boot.
Mommy jumps up and runs over and gets on the nest and makes this really mean growling sound every time I reach over to her nest. I'm just glad they didn't freeze last night -- first time mom and all ...
So 12 weeks until i get to help (and by help I mean me making a mess of things) kill and clean them?
If you have enough space slip a piece of cardboard between the nest opening and the rest of the cage so you can do your checks or whatever else you want to do. If there isn't enough space you can clip some wire at the top of the cage to make enough room for something else. I would probably use a piece of 1/4 plywood if I was prepared ahead of time.
Used to have a bunch of fairly large birds and most of the chicks were hand fed. The conures were really bad for going after your hands if you reached in and the cockatoo's could be as well. Not to mention that one of the year old umbrella cockatoo's was a cannibal, loved chicken legs and would literally split the bone with his beak. Made you think twice about reaching in the cage to do a health check while the parents had access to the box.
