Do I have any pet?
Answers:
Not anymore.
i dont know, do u?
So, do you or do you not?
I am presently a contestant on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire with Meredith Vieira and your question has just popped up...I first used one of my lifelines: 50/50 - and the dog and cat were eliminated...then I used my call a friend lifeline and I called my psychic mom in Wisconsin but that was a waste of time...no answers came to her at all [see why I don't believe in psychic ability -well my mom has it but it comes and goes]...so I then used my next lifeline: the audience and the audience came up with a tie between the bird and the fish, [the audience is usually right, but what can you do when it's a tie-you just can't decide]...but since I had reached the $25,000 dollar question, I used my final option and switched the question. The next question was even easier: What pet is man's best friend? A] a cat B] a dog
C] a bird D] a fish
I answered it correctly, without having any lifelines left because I used them all up on your question. I said B] a dog.
Um a bird maybe. You ask stupid questions. Stop wasting our time.
yes, no, maybe so
I think you are having dreams of having a pet and putting out feelers in your own way to see what to get. Don't start with birds.
yup, some kind like rats.
yay I get 2 points! sorry but i have no idea if you have a pet...
uh.you tell me
and what the heck was that other question? can I win her heart back?? that was a really unspecific question.
If you do..I hope you love it and take good care of it. It could be your best friend some day.
I think the correct question is "Do you have any pets?"
You have a pet monkey living in your closet. You pet it daily and feed it peanut butter. Then you make it take a bath. When it refuses, you spank it.
you should know,.
I don't know? Do you have any pets?
Ohhhhh I don't know, perhaps a bird?
Do I have a chance on taming my parakeets?
I got my parakeets from 6-7 months old. I have three parakeets. Are they too old to be tamed? And I've had them for about 2-3 months now.
Answers:
It's never too late.
BUT!
They've already bonded to each other and will probably ignore you. It's difficult to tame more than one.
HERE is what I told another person with the same problem:
My bird has the same problem. The way i take my budgie out is by swiping my pointer finger out under his claws, tripping him onto my hand. Then I grab him tail feathers with my thumb and middle, ring, and pinky fingers. this usually works taking the birds out.
As for lowering the aggressiveness, try teaching it tricks, such as "ladder", where you have him on your hand, then puttin gyour other finger from your other hand up to his breast. Again and again and again. This will give him something else to think about. That's the only thing I can think of.
When you put him on your shoulder, are you wearing any shiney stuff, like jewlry or hair gel? That might make him want to bite.
---------
But the other person(forgot your name!) is right--if they've bonded to each other, and even this sometimes happens with a mirror, it might be hard, as they already have companionship.
Of course it is not to late. I know this great site for hand taming parakeets. I am doing it right now and so far so good.

Do hummingbirds feed early in the morning?
Answers:
Hummingbirds will feed all day...but you may notice they feed the most in the early morning (after roosting all night...they need some quick energy), and in the late afternoon (they must fill up before they sleep).
Actually they feed at all hours of the day.
Yes, they do I have at least six of them and I see them anywhere between 7:30 and 9:00 am. some time later than I see them off and on thourh out the day up until about 8:00 pm.
no they feed when ever but i see them in the morning all the time too lol
Yes
I have a feeder and they seem to come around throughout the day. Also, they protective of this food source and try chasing each other away, I guessing.
Do humming bird come around in august.i live in the missouri bootheel?
Answers:
The hummingbird you get there is the Ruby-throated Hummingbird and they will soon be leaving to migrate to Central America and the tip of Florida for the winter. There may still be some stragglers around for the next month or so.
well, i live in texas and it is hot and humid down here. so, unless they fly south for the summer to fry, i would think that you should, because i have a little humming bird friend that visits my zinias every day. wether he is hot or not, i cant say, but we have them in texas in the summer, and down here it is pretty dang hot.
i think you just need to plant a good flower garden that is very humming bird friendly. you might try some sights about which flowers are the best for this.
Hope this helps.
Hi,
Ruby-throated Hummingbirds should be migrating through your area over the next few months. I live in New Hampshire and I usually see my last one in mid-September. You can leave your feeders up until you are sure they have all passed by on their way to South America. Maybe as long as December. They need all of the food they can find for their 2000 mile migration including a 500 mile flight over the Gulf of Mexico.
Happy Birding, John
I live in St. Louis and we have humming birds around our house all day long...more than you could count yesterday. My mom (also in St. L) is an avid humming bird watcher and she typically has humming birds in flower gardens and around the house until late Sept. or early Oct. so if they are in my area, they must be in yours.
Do hens need a rooster around in order to lay their eggs?
My mom says they do not, and it's been 20 years since I've had chickensand back then I heard you do.
Answers:
Nope. Laying eggs is a natural thing for hens to do, even if there is no rooster around. If you want fertile eggs however, you'll need a rooster. It gets on my nerves when people say they don't like eggs because there is a chick inside of it. Well, the eggs you get at Wal-Mart come from places with no roosters, so it isn't possible there is a chick in it OR it's going to hatch. Even if the eggs were fertilized, they're still edible. As long as you collect the eggs before the hens start incubating them, the chick doesn't grow. The hens don't start incubating the eggs right after she lays the first one. She hovers above the eggs while she lays more until she has laid them all - then she starts actually sitting on them.
I know that's more than you asked for...but...I'm sure someone will learn something from that...maybe..
Random fact - We were in wal-mart once and we and the cashier somehow got into a conversation about eggs. I'm not sure how it started, but I think we said that the best eggs where from your own chickens, and then I remember her saying something like "Oh I don't eat those chicken eggs, I only eat those store-bought eggs. I don't want to eat no eggs that come from a chicken's butt."
I'm serious, she actually said that. I tried so hard not to laugh. I wonder where she thinks her eggs are coming from?
Edit: At Suzanne - Feeding your hens eggshells is not a good idea. If you want your hens to get the calcium they need as well as other minerals, give your hens PVM powdered grit with oyster shell in it. Have this available with your laying mash or pellets, and your eggs will be better. The reason feeding hens eggshells isn't good, is they will sometimes become 'addicted' to it and peck at their own eggs to eat the shell. Once they get into their eggs and taste the wonderful yolk inside, they'll get in the habbit of eating their own eggs. If you do feed them eggshells though, make sure they are clean (with no left over yolk inside) and crushed up. That will lower the risk of them obtaining those bad habbits.
No. Only if you want fertile eggs.
No why are you asking do you have a farm or something
no the rooster only fertilise the hen , she will lay with out a roster they just will not hatch
Nope, they'll lay eggs without a rooster around, but no eggs will hatch unless you have a rooster to fertilize them before they're laid.
If you want to eat the eggs, a rooster isn't necessary though he could get the hens all interested in egg laying. If you want chicks, you DEFINATELY need a rooster or the eggs will be infertile and not hatch.
No. Eggs are a chicken's menstrual cycle, and they'll lay eggs even if they're not fertile.
Roosters do the fertilizing, but they're not needed for just plain egg-laying.
A hen only needs a rooster if you would like to raise a batch of chicks. However, in order to have a hen lay more eggs for you too eat or use in cooking, you need to go the local coop store and buy laying mash. You can also take eggshells, breads, vegetable scraps, and fruit scraps and mash them up well and mix them into the laying mash that is bought, which will give the hens plenty of vitamins and help them lay darker colored and more desirable eggs. On the average, a hen only lays one egg every day or two, so if you are wanting several eggs per day, you need several hens. Also, seasons and weather affects the laying of eggs. I would suggest that you research the difference between "meat chickens" and "egg laying chickens" if it makes a difference to you.
No, you do not need a rooster. The hens will lay eggs and will do better without a rooster chasing them around.
No. They just need a rooster to fertilize them. We never had a rooster with our chickens. One day a chicken decided she was going to hatch the eggs but they weren't fertilized so we got some eggs from the farm down the street who had a rooster and brown chickens. All our chickens were white as were the chickens she hatched but she never knew the difference.
no

Do european starlings live in KY?
specifically central KY
Answers:
All of the European Starlings found today in North America-and they number in the 200 million range-are descendants of approximately 100 birds introduced in New York City's Central Park in the early 1890s. A society dedicated to introducing into America all of the birds mentioned in the works of Shakespeare set these birds free. Today, European Starlings are seen from Alaska to Florida to northern Mexico.
