I got Zerofen oral suspension from my vet,its from Chanelle. For all caged birds its .8ml/1 kg so how much for each bird? Ive 3 cockatiels weighing 100g, 3 bengelese about 16g and 21 finches two of which are still not weaned conpletly. It says use for five days but when should I redose them? Also the vet told me to put it in the water as theres no way ill be able to catch them all so do I just empty the water every day,wipe it clean and refill again?
Sorry for the questions, this is my first time to worm them so im nervous and puzzled.

Aww what, she must have been very disappointed when she got told no bird. I still feel disappointed when my mother tells me I cant have anymore although i do have 19 finches,3 bengelese and 3 cockatiels but I still buy more anyhow. I picked up a penguin male in the pet shop not so long ago.

Its great your doing that for them kids, they'll be over the moon on christmas.
In regards to the finches if they could talk they'd be like the seagulls in finding nemo "mine,mine,mine"

Steves i asked the very same question a year ago and if i can remember theres silver involved not white.

I tried the plaster idea but she was too old for it to work and it just caused an infection as it was too loose.
As long as your birds not too old it should be okay.

So in addition to the BC bird the fostered bird is all feathered up now and it has an orange triangle kind of one its cheeks. its kinda noticeable its on the bottom corner of the cheek patch
-
I was checking up on the two chicks and this little guy flew out at me. Safe to say it landed in a good place. Its the one on the red dish.
-
Heres the chick. Excuse the poop on my hand
-
Thats what i taught but she dosent look like a split as the tear markings dont fade into the cheeks.
-
Checked the two chicks the oldest one has black cheeks, his father is ng bc and mother is cfw. The second chick is a transfer and its father is ng and mother is cfw/bc. Ill upload pic later

Out of 7 eggs 5 are showing embroyos all at different stages so hopefully all goes well
-
The eggs are kept warm whenever i check so thats a good sign and Im pretty sure both birds are sitting as at night they share the nest aswell.
Ill candle the eggs tomorrow and remove infertile ones as theres 7 in the nest.

My favourites would be whites,cfws and bc.

I agree with kareem as BB usually have black feathers with while feathers partially covering the black.

Im not sure i found them in the water dish dead and they were stone cold.
About the eggs im trying to find plans on incubation so i could transfer any fertile ones and let the birds sit on the infertile ones
that way if the eggs hatch i could try trick the parents into thinking the egg hatched while they were out.
-
So a male from one pair and a female from another pair drowned tonight so it there any way of moving the eggs and the two surviving birds into one cage or will they hatch the eggs on their own?
the male has 3 eggs and the female has 5.

I agree with sarah it may be feeling lonely but there could still be a chance its sick like the one that died.

I use Cede mostly for breeding and sometimes they eat it. I found that if theres crumbled digestive biscuit in it they eat more of it and the chicks love it too.

BB is a recessive mutation so both parents must be split for it or show it for it to be seen on the chicks.
Regarding the tameness it usually lasts a few days as they don't exactly know their meant to be scared of humans.
I got caught out about that too but its natural.
-
Spot is a black breast so that explains why its got the black stripes on the breast area.
These will usually molt out around 4-5 weeks old.

I had three pairs in an aviary two pairs built the nests and then after that they literally swapped nests and laid in each others nest.
-
Shes doing much better now than she was in the petshop. Wish i had bough her when her legs were normal.
-
The hen is an adult. I was thinking that but i taught that i could try it as it might work. Shes currently in the aviary and they dont really bother her as she justs flys,eats with the rest of them.
She seems to stand on her legs more so when shes at the food dish or small perches so it could be going good.

How about a wireless light of some sort as they produce heat?
Like a battery pack connected to the light

Haha Youd probably end up having to expand the aviary every few months.
