    Hi Matt
    Greetings from down under beautiful Brisbane Australia. Allow me to congratulate you on a most informative and riveting series of shows. With our breeding season still around 5 months away, there is some points I would appreciate your advice on. 1. Exactly how do you prepare your hens for the next round, changing nest, removing nest, withhold nest etc??? 2. I noticed in your last episode you said you had removed the perches from your chicks rearing cage, what will happen if I leave perches in their rearing cage and how long do you withdraw the perches for, also do you feed and water them on the floor and if so how do you get them used to feeding from a different utensil on a perch??? 4. I am told young cock birds learn to sing from their fathers, however if I remove them to a rearing cage and they are not with the parents what happens. I only have 3 pair in 70cm x 45cm x 45cm flight cages so do not have the ability to seperate or remove a cock bird and if he is with the hen he will not sing. Sorry this is such a long-winded comment. Keep up the good work, cheers

  • @abfmkarin
    @abfmkarin 7 років тому +3

    It's a very nice recipe.I would recommend to anyone who feeds it for the forst time to feed only a small amount if the birds are used to other egg food mixtures (mine rejected it until I offered it 4 times.I have over 60.)Btw,it's a great smoothie recipe for us (without the egg food in it of course :p.)So thanks for that :D

      Hi Safa, i've only just seen this comment, sorry. In the first few hours the young will survive of the nutrients from the egg sack, the important thing at this stage is they're kept warm. Some hens are great feeders others are not, but don't over fuss on the young as this can cause the hen to abandon them.

      What about if my canary has a hatchling is it safe to give them garlic then?
      My society finch died today and I don't know what the cause of death was , he was missing some feathers around his neck area for some time I am not sure if he had diarrhea not sure if I gave him garlic would it help him .
      The strangest thing is that he didn't show any major signs of being sick he was just a little puffed up and when I got near the cage he would just fly to another branch inside the cage , did you have anything similar happen to you maybe?

      budgies actually hide their sickness VERY well for future reference 😊. A too puffed up budgie or puffed up for too long are actually signs of an unwell budgie. So by the time you can visibly tell the bird is sick, the sickness is quite far along and hard to treat without a vet

    • @abfmkarin
      @abfmkarin 7 років тому

      I have been breeding birds for over 30 years and would not give garlic to hatchlings.(I had some dead baby burds when Instarted because I have used heavy to digest ingredients in the egg food mixture such as nuts for example.)
      I give them my standard dey egg food mixture with peas and/or sweet corn and heavier to digest mixtures once they are 14 days old.It's possible that garlic is okay,but I wouldn't risk it.)
      In regards to digestive problem I been giving my birds organic cammomille tea for year.I add 2-3 tbs in a large drinker for each cage.Stinging nettle tea is also good if you get a new bird and don't know if it was exposed to chemcals.It helps to detoxify.

      Hi, I'm sorry to hear of your experience, i can only assume that the supply you used was contaminated in some way. Garlic given in small amounts certainly won't kill birds
