"BABY
HAND REARING FORMULA" nectar eaters
Here at Donpaulna Aviaries
we believe that our hand raised birds are of top quality , and if loved
will stay very tame towards their owners. Pet birds make very good
companions, and are known to relief stress. As long as the bird is well
maintained, it will stay a close and healthy friend. Keeping hand
raised birds of different species together makes for many happier
times. We believe that by keeping two of the same species and of
opposite sex (when coming into breeding age), may become somewhat
aggressive and nippy. If you would like to see what formula we use for
hand raising our seed eating birds then please click on the caption

HAND REARING FORMULA" Seed Eaters.
HANDY HINTS. - Here are a few helpful hints that may
help out when getting started into the bird game. These are my own
personal views which I believe are common sense ideas.
1)
Wasting
seed is always a problem to aviculturists, using a seed saver, and good
designed feeders can cut your seed bill by more than half. (Never
re-use seed that has fallen onto the floor of the aviaries).
2) Placing
water bowls well away from perches and feeding stations will help keep
them clean and free of decease, although you still need to clean them
out regularly.
3) Placing a good leaf
mulch under suspended cages will help keep the area clean and looking
good. When put down thick enough all that is necessary is to rake over
it once and awhile to turn in the birds droppings.
4) Well drain floors in
conventional aviaries helps keep worm problems down, and helps with
excessive water lay.
5) Designing your aviary
lay out before attempting to build is always a great helpful hint.
6) Try to always put
bird species in the most suitable aviaries for their particular needs.
7) Never put aggressive
natured birds in together, this always causes problems such as
unnecessary lose, or injury of birds.
8) When you have a
formula that you are getting good results from, both with breeding and
hand rearing, stick to it, never change no matter how great the
temptation.
9) Get into a habit or
routine of keeping cages and feed areas clean, this helps cut down
vermin problems.
10) Walkways are a must
in my view, they save plenty of heartbreak.
11) Concrete where feed
stations are is a great idea, to help keep that area clean and tidy.
Common sense is always a good helpful hint.
