See how she does. Our year-old cat seems otherwise healthy but has started to sneeze violently 10 to 15 times a day. There is no discharge or mucous, and I was wondering if a cat can have hay fever or allergies. Cats do get all sorts of upper respiratory conditions, as well as asthma and environmental allergies.
Take the cat to the vet for an evaluation. One possible culprit is the litter the cat is using. Many litters these days have odor-masking scents that bother my nose and can bother some cats' even more.
Imagine having your nose right up against such a product as you dig through it. Many cats do not tolerate such an experience and either sneeze as yours is doing or avoid the litter box totally. I just use a plain litter made of recycled newspaper: I put a small amount of litter in the boxes and change it daily. There is a woodpecker that has started to peck at one spot on the side of our house for an hour at a time.
The siding covers a gap in the plywood, and there is an echo when you tap there. This pecking is driving us crazy. Is there anything we can do to chase it away? Now that the daylight gets longer each day, it is stirring up the hormones in wild birds. The males are starting to sing in the morning to announce their territories, and proclaim that they are getting ready to breed.
Do birds cry? It isn't that birds can't cry, they just don't. As mentioned, birds have tear ducts just like we do, which should provide them with the ability to cry, but it appears that they choose not to cry which means they are either insanely happy or desensitized to all emotion…. Do birds mourn? If birds do mourn, it seems some rebound more quickly than others.
Do lovebirds need to be covered at night? As long as a dark, quiet and somewhat secluded area is provided for a bird to sleep in, most will be fine without being covered at night.
Remember, however, that sleep is vital to a bird's well-being. If you are in doubt about your pet's reaction to being uncovered, play it safe and resume covering the cage at night. What are the signs of a bird dying? Here is a brief list of some obvious and not so obvious signs of illness in birds: Decrease or increase in appetite.
Increase in urination. Increased drinking. Feather or skin changes. Discharge from the eyes or nostrils. Sneezing or wheezing. Why do love birds kill their babies? First-time bird parents will sometimes kill their babies because they simply don't know what to do.
When the conditions of the nest change, new parent birds may become overly anxious, or panic, pecking their chicks or pushing them from the nest due to stress. How long can a lovebird be alone? No budgies or lovebirds should be kept on their own. Do lovebirds eat banana? They are birds, not people, and they need their mate!
Having two isn't necessarily what's making this harder. In time they will come around, patience is the key. You can't force a bird to love you All you can do is show love and alot of patience and spend time with them This is VERY normal! Pip does exactly the same thing to Ivy all the time!
I think that Howl wants to like us but Sophie is so skittish I think it makes him a little skittish too Do you allow them out of cage time? Have you ever worked on "step up" using a wooden perch instead of your hand? If you think Howl wants to get to know you, then there's a good chance he does.
You might try enticing him out for a little one on one using some millet or other treat, then take things slow from there. All it takes is to get the attention of one, and sometimes the other will follow suit.
Well I'm obviously not going to separate them if it would emotionally traumatize them. That's why I asked. I read somehwere that it's ok as long as you are there to create a new bond, then they won't be sad. Yes I let them out all the time. Their cage is always open when I'm home, they love to be on top of it.
As soon as my hands get close to the, unless I have millet of course they run to the opposite corner. Ive tried giving them millet and with my free hand trying to get them to step up, I've tried holding the millet too far for them to reach unless they get on my hand or arm, nothing works.
If I get on the floor I will hold millet and sometimes they will come down for it. Once theyre on the floor I can get Howl to step up pretty easily. And one time I just put my hand out for him and talked to him and he came right over and stepped up. But when Sophie is around he won't do anything. And Sophie just constantly runs away unless you're feeding her millet.
It's hard to get them alone I live in a small apartment, they get distracted from me by chirping for each other. Howl has only made that little progress since we got him, and Sophie has just gotten less tame. I just don't know how to train them if they are together :. I don't know either, maybe you could take one at a time and spend some one on one time in a different room, although in my experience, they always call to each other and hear each other and aren't happy when they aren't in sight of each other!
My lovie Pip is very bonded to Ivy, a blueheaded pionus. Even though he loves her, he always comes to me and wants to spend time with me as well, so I've never had this kind of problem. Maybe someone here with two bonded lovies might be able to give you advice on this. I also had two bonded cockatiels who I've never had issues like this with.
