How old is the chick now? Has he/she developed normally so far? You should feed every 2-3 hours until he is 2 weeks old. Parakeets develop rather quickly and grow up fast. "Aspirating" means the food enters the baby's air sack instead of its crop. Birds don't have lungs like we do, they have...

For the record, if you find a wild baby bird and know where the nest is, and put it back, the mother most likely will NOT reject him/her. :) Birds don't have the same sense of smell we do. Some birds may be hesitant to go back to the nesting site once a human/predator has been spotted, but most...

If you need help hand-feeding the parakeets, please don't hesitate to ask. I raised many baby birds, including my 8-year old Yellow Nape Amazon. My GF bred birds for many, many years, and that's how I gathered my experience. If you aspirate the babies, they will die. It can be tricky, but if...

I wish you the best of luck! Just today I emptied 2 of my (former) spider tanks, and I am planning on using them in the future for possible quarantine tanks. They are small, 10 gallons, but at least I'll have "something" to fall back on. --- Wendy

Yowser! I'm WAY too much of a newb to offer any advice, but I certainly hope it'll work out for you. :) So do you suspect you've got Ich in your tank now? :o --- Wendy

AWESOME. Thanks again, Carlo. :) I realized with the lights on there were SO many of them copepods (I googled them and confirmed that's what they look like using a magnifying glass, lol.) I figured out what I want for Mother's Day from my boys: A moonlight for my tank. ;D Are there any that are...

You're absolutely right, Carlo, that didn't even dawn on me. I will be patient - and eventually my cleaners will nip the problem in the butt. Every morning, when the first set of lights come on I notice that the cleaners were quite busy the night before. Thank you for the heads up. :) I spent...

It's been way too long since I updated this, so here we go. It'll be picture intense. The tank is doing great, and no, I'm not trying to achieve the "jungle" look with all the hair algae, I just haven't gotten it under control yet. :( Even though my phosphates continue to read 0, I added...

Again - thank you all very much. :) Alex (hubby) and I talked a long time last night. His first response was that I should go to Germany. After discussing it at lenght, I've decided against it - for now. I have 2 sisters, ages 54 and 53. The younger of the two lives across the street from my...

Thank you all very, VERY much. Your support and prayers mean the world to me. --- Wendy

Thank you so much, Phyl. Your prayers and hugs are very much appreciated. I honestly don't know how I'm holding it together - my husband and kids are my strenght right now. I hate having to tell Alex those kind of news over the phone, but then again - that's how I got them, too. :( If I wasn't...

I'm sorry for having been so rare lately, everyone. Last week was an extremely hectic week, and the way the week ended was even worse. For everyone who believes in a deity, please keep my mom in your prayers. For everyone who doesn't, please have good thoughts for her. Last Thursday she called...

DITTO! --- Wendy

Both of my boys go to Colts Neck HS. The last bomb threat was between 4-6 weeks ago, and during that one "something" was actually located. :( And it wasn't the first bomb threat either. But it was the second one that was serious enough where students were sent home early. --- Wendy

LOL...I needed that laugh. Yep, they sure "could" use it, with no problems either, but unfortunately they ONLY go #2 on grass - nowhere esle. And yes, that means if we have tons of snow we have to open up a grassy area for them in order to go. :o --- Wendy PS. It stopped raining long enough...

Both my boys came home early because of this. All after school activities were canceled. Our HS has numerous former students that attend VT. The first thing they did was turn on CNN. The minute they replayed what a studend recorded I completely lost it. How can this happen? How can we let this...

I'm sure by now everyone has heard what happened at VT (Virginia Tech University) this morning. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070416/ap_on_re_us/virginia_tech_shooting Having my boys go through Elementary school was a breeze. Middle School became a bit scary, there were occasional bomb threats...

Thanks so much for the info. :) Isn't it much too early to think of a Mandarin for me though? Ok, now please don't mock me because I added the nem. :-[ I know how paradox it is/was. If you could wait with that order until May, then I'm in. I love Paydays. --- Wendy

Someone please help me wipe the drool off my mouth. GORGEOUS setup. Truly stunning! :) I LOVE how you did everything, arranged everything and how it looks. B E A U T I F U L. --- Wendy

Tom, do I need those things - yet? I went onto the website but can't figure out how much it costs. :-[ --- Wendy
