Important

Call you vet Be four you go out the door maybe he can tell you what to do without leaving the birds home. If you do have to go keep him in the cage that he knows DO NOT MOVE HIM. Use a heat lamp or heat pad to keep him warm call the vet to see how warm or how close to put the pad or lamp. You don't want to cook you bird. Make sure that you stop any bleeding and in any case keep the bird warm at all times.

This can help shock and many other things.

Tips/advice/knowledge

BLEEDING TIP

Birds bleed out faster then a cat or a dog. Even the littlest cute can turn very dangerous. This stops the bleeding. Put it in the cap and put on wound.

Egg tip

If any bird has eggs and the egg/eggs has a crack or small hole, Take a piece of a white egg and glue it to the hole or crack. Use white glue that is nontoxic. Sometimes this will not work because the inside of the egg has been too badly damaged. Why not give it a shot!

Food tip

Here are some things to try. Be aware the bird is going to be really scared of you and the new home. If the bird will not eat I want you to try these out. Now they might not eat them at first but they are bird treats and they do love these. 

Also try showing them were the food is. Sometimes they are not use to other food holders only the ones at the pet store. Do you cover their cage at night? If you do try obly covering half and use a night light so they can still see. Night time is the worst for birds. They can't see in the dark. Try keeping the noise down for 2weeks and keep your voice soft at all times when training or talking to him/her. If you have kids this could take longer. These birds you have to have a lot of calmness and you do have to wait. I bird don't get use to the new home for at least 3 to 4 weeks. Trust me I hated the wait it really stunk but now I love my little guys. If I can do it anyone can.

Behavior

Found this website. Check it out. It will tell you your birds behavior. http://www.budgieplace.com/behavior.html

Matting

To have eggs they have to be a year old. Also one male and one female. They have to really like each other and know each other a long time.

 Sometimes even if the are over a year and like each other and knew each other a long time, they still might not have eggs its all up to them. They might even mate but not have eggs. Sometimes they just don't want babies or even not with that one bird. It is not easy get eggs.
