Some of what we do for our birds here

Some of what we do for our birds here

We see many posts where people are scared to introduce new birds together. All birds have a pecking order they need to establish. Usually, if given the opportunity, they will sort it out quite quickly. We have never introduced a new pairing that didn’t get along within a short time. This pair had never seen each other before and had only been together for about 20 minutes. The longest it's taken is a week for some over-humanised birds we’ve acquired. It’s all about how they’ve been introduced and ensuring a neutral environment where neither bird feels it owns the space.

Our Mealworm Farm for our Birds and more :)
We started our farm almost a year ago with just 2 kg of mealworms at the end of February last year, so it was not quite a year ago. We had a bit of a teething problem when we started starting but quickly sorted that and discovered having a heat source through the colder months was well and truly beneficial to their production amounts,
We have 4 large tubs of beetles that we take the beetles out every 2 weeks and have them staggered, so we swap out 2 tubs every week to have a steady supply of Mealworms. At the moment, they are producing 5-6 kg of medium worms a week :)

3 little baby Pied Sun Conures. From the first one that hatched until the third one was 3 days old, they went through some really hot days just after hatching, too, with sprinklers going to keep them all a bit cooler.
Hope you all enjoy our life with the birds we share

Some of our green cheek conures enjoy some live mealworms. Three days ago, we put a bowl of live mealworms in with them, and there was not any interest in food that moved, lol. Then, two days ago, we offered them singerly by hand and still and still food that moved was not for them, it seemed, lol,
So we offered them some fresh dead ones that were a hit, and then some live ones again that they took to from the hand.
Then, today, we offered them a bowl of live ones. There was no stopping them.
Persistence is key to any new thing, whether it be food or a new toy or box, and offer it in different ways and be creative #mealworms #mealworms

Half an hour before I took this video, they had not seen a mealworm before, or I should say only once before. I was in a bit of a rush and left them with a bowl of them for an hour or so, but they were not interested in moving food, apparently. But today, I took a few fresh dead ones in, and they were a little standoffish still. However, within 30 minutes, this is what they were like, and they could not get enough of them, even the live ones :)

Our sun conures absolutely adore bath time! It’s a delightful experience to sit back and enjoy watching them play, bringing happiness to our day.

Some of the babies we are hand-raising are having some socialising time. And there is one little green cheek that seems to want to identify as a Sun Conure, lol

It appears that after the big storms we had, it's a cool, rainy day today after our close to 40° C yesterday. It's a good day to snuggle and sleep :)

Our birds got a new watering system for Christmas.
It has always been a fully automatic system. The piping was getting old and needed to be all redesigned, and now it is much easier to flush to Bowles, and everyone has its own individual tap now as well.

Our little mealworm farm we started up just 9 months ago for our parrots.
It's coming along just nicely, and our birds love them once they get to their food moving, lol
some time to get them started, and a taste for them is easier to start them off with fresh dead ones at the beginning, but others will take straight to then :) #beaksandfeathersaviaries #mealworms #mealwormshop #mealwormsofinstagram #livefood #livefoods

George, one of our White-Bellied Caiques, had his first encounter with mealworms. He looked at them for a minute, then sampled one and thought, "These things, even though they are moving, are pretty darn good!" lol. #mealworms #mealwormsnack #mealwormsofinstagram #mealworms🐛

I'm just sharing a couple of pictures of our pied Sun conures. Some of the photos may not be the best quality, but they were the best I could manage at the time. These little rascals wouldn't stay still and were more interested in what I was doing, lol!

Three baby black-capped conures are doing well. There were two, and now there are three, with three more eggs yet to hatch. :)

A Book we ordered a few weeks ago turned up this morning. This is to add to our medical and husbandry avian book collection. It looks to be very interesting and informative. We have always been interested in learning and understanding more about our little feathered family

I have been exploring ideas for new feeders to reduce waste for our indoor birds, which will also work for our outdoor aviaries. We trialed this designs over a week, and they didn't take long to test it. We have used them with Green Cheek Conures, Sun Conures, Caiques, and Amazons, but with the Amazons, we made a larger feed hole.

Previously, with the plastic oblong feeders and S/S dishes, the birds would scatter the food everywhere, with most of it ending up on the floor or bottom of the cage, which led to it being thrown away. This was frustrating, as we were constantly trying to keep their food supply up, not to mention how costly it was.

Now, with our new design, what used to last only a day or two now lasts over a week, saving us time and money. So far, We have made over 30 of these feeders, and I can confidently say we are extremely happy with the results!

Even in breeding mode, they are still friendly and happy to interact :)

Our little mealworm farm, which we started up at the end of February this year, is kicking along well, and happy with the progress so far. I have noticed by keeping them crowded, the die-off of beetles is far less than when we started with far fewer beetles in a tub. We swape the beetles into a new tub every 2 weeks and let the eggs hatch into baby worms.
We started almost 8 months ago with 1 drawer of worms, and now we have grown to 3 full drawers of beetles, 3 draws of eggs, and 12 Drawes of Mealworms from just hatched to worms that are starting to pupae and mountable smaller drawers of pupae.
We put together our farm to supplement our parrots' diets as we like to feed our parrots a natural, healthy diet with no processed foods.#mealworms #mealworms #mealwormsofinstagram #mealworms🐛
