LOL! With any luck Stephanie, he may add to your zoo!

Sometimes it's important to be able to vent.
Sometimes black clouds come in the sky and things seem dark. But, they do pass on. So with feeling overwhelmed. When in the midst of it, it can help to talk to someone. I'm glad you feel safe here.

I think you will feel better and will find a way to keep your lovelie birdies and feed them enough.

Take a deep breathe and count to 50....
I'm sure after that you'll see things in a very different light...
We all feel awful, and useless if things happen to our animals, its all part of life... and we have to adjust to it, I'm sure you will not give your babies to anyone, you'll not know what would happen to them.. just keep on doing what you've been doing and go out side and kick the fence or a ball... things will get better..
Good luck...

Been missing an update on your chicks. Hope everything is well.

The chicks are great! I have to show you a video on how my mornings are! They try to fly to me... I can't get in the aviary for at least 20 seconds because they try to come to me for food and if I open the door, they will fly away.

They attack me for food (not literally)

Marshmallow has been...Um...very friendly to her father! I caught them mating 3 times but they were only successful once. I seperated her in a smaller cage inside the aviary, but I give her free time while I make food for the chicks, so while I made it, I came back and found them mating. I did stop them and got a present from Georgie...it hurt

I'm thinking of a way to give the whole aviary long nights. They live outside in an aviary.

How long do I need to give them long nights for? Will they return hormonal if I stop doing it?

Update: she laid an egg in the smaller cage!

What should I do? Leave her in the aviary? Bring her home? I want her to live in the aviary, my parents aren't going to say yes always.

Should I put a nest box in the aviary and replace her real eggs with dummy's and let her sit on it until she looses interest? She obviously is still trying to make a double clutch but hasn't successed, actually, with the number of eggs she already laid, she is up to her 3rd clutch.

I cracked open the real egg and threw it out and I put a real egg in the nest and gave it to them. This is how they thanked me...
























The reason I cracked open the egg before throwing it out is because I read somewhere that if the place the egg is in is hot enough, it can hatch, I know the chances of that is rare but I would do anything so that egg won't hatch.

They were in the nest almost the whole day so far, they came out for breaks but they are spending much more time than they were inside the storage room.

I am letting them mate as much as they want. It's impossible to stop them, they are birds, and birds like fun and they are ready going to get their eggs thrown out...so why can't they have some fun while they have a nest.

Even if I tried to stop them, they will try even harder to mate and I can't stand outside the whole day.

The 3 babies are in my room!!

They got cuts on their beak because of the aviary, and the storage room is hot as heck, and their are raccoons outside the aviary, so they are home with me inside the new cage!
