Winged Wisdom Pet Bird Magazine - Breeding African Greys - Part I
Breeding Greys from setup to pairing to hatching. breeding birds takes time and dedication.
http://www.birdsnways.com/wisdom/ww33eiii.htm

Extractions: Breeding African Greys can be a very rewarding and learning experience, but it also requires an uncommon dedication. The breeding pairs, the babies, and your clients deserve an informed, committed, ethical, responsible, and knowledgeable breeder. Breeding Greys is not just a matter of buying two birds, putting them together and letting nature take its course. Healthy and productive breeding pairs are required. Parents need the proper environment and diet to breed successfully. Chicks must be properly hand fed, weaned and socialized in order to develop into good companion birds. More effort is required to assure that the babies go only to good homes, in educating the new owners and in keeping in touch to make sure that all is going well. All of this takes time, knowledge and extraordinary commitment and should not be entered into lightly. Start-up expenses will be considerable. Social engagements will be planned around your feeding schedule; vacations will be very rare; holidays, birthdays, and anniversaries are just another day in the life of a breeder. Feeding and watering the breeding pairs, cleaning cages, tidying up the aviary, routine maintenance, and handfeeding the babies comes before convenience or pleasure. More is known today than ever before to help us meet the challenge of raising healthy, well-socialized companion birds. Given their intelligence and sensitivity, perhaps breeding and raising African Greys is the most challenging of all. Those who are drawn to this endeavor by their compassion and deep desire to nurture and contribute to the well being of these most beloved of earth's creatures will be rewarded beyond measure.

Extractions: Main Page The Canadian Wildlife Service and Bird Studies Canada are looking for enthusiastic and skilled birders in Ontario to participate in the Canadian Breeding Bird Survey (BBS). faring as well. It takes one day a year, during the month of June, to run a BBS route. BBS routes are 24.5 miles (39.4 km) long and consist of 50 three-minute stops, each 0.5 miles (0.8 km) apart. At each stop, volunteers record the total number of each bird species seen or heard within about 400 metres. Volunteers are encouraged to survey the same route for as many consecutive years as possible to maintain consistency of reporting. Currently, there are more than 3000 active BBS routes across North America! The BBS is jointly coordinated by the Canadian Wildlife Service, National Wildlife Research Centre and the U.S. Geological Survey Patuxent Wildlife Research Centre. BSC acts as the provincial coordinator in Ontario. We need your help in Ontario!

Extractions: Fargo, North Dakota 1975 Information from Breeding Birds of North Dakota , by Robert E. Stewart. Courtesy of his family. Legend: For each township, filled squares indicate that nests or dependent young were recorded during 1950-1972. Filled triangles indicate that territorial males or pairs were recorded during a breeding season in 1950-1972. Open squares indicate that nests or dependent young were recorded prior to 1950. Open triangles indicate that territorial males or pairs were recorded during a breeding season prior to 1950. The taxonomic treatment in this report follows the AOU Check-list of North American Birds, fifth edition (1957), and the subsequent thirty-second supplement (1973), except as modified by changes proposed by Mayr and Short (1970). The maps shown were created by manually coding the symbols for each species and township, based on the maps in Stewart (1975), and creating new maps from those data. The new maps were checked for errors, but there is a possibility that some errors remain. Species Information Each species entry contains up to three types of information: Entries with photos are marked with this icon.
Rare Breeding Birds Panel, UK
Produces a condfdential report of rare breeding birds, for the national conservation agencies of England, Scotland and Wales, plus a public report with
http://www.rbbp.org.uk/

Extractions: The Rare Breeding Birds Panel was formed in 1972 by representatives of the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, the British Trust for Ornithology, The Nature Conservancy Council and British Birds . The present Panel is made up of representatives of the Joint Nature Conservation Committee, RSPB, BTO, and the Association of County Report Editors, together with two independent members and a Secretary. The Panel's prime function is to act as a secure depository of sensitive information on the breeding of rare birds in Britain. As its database has grown, the information it contains has proved to be of considerable value to the three country conservation agencies and a confidential report is compiled for them each year, though omitting nest locations if requested by the observer. An annual report for public consumption, with nest locations grouped by county or region, is published in the journal British Birds . Commencing with a report for 1996, a short additional report on the occurrence of the rarer non-native species breeding in Britain has also been published in

Extractions: It's time to stop breeding birds So says Foster Parrots Ltd. founder Marc Johnson, who sees little reason to continue producing pets that almost always lose their homes MARC JOHNSON thinks breeding parrots is wrong, and hopes that those who engage in the practice eventually go the way of the dodo. "Breeders attempts to justify the reasons for why they are here usually falls under the conservation claim, which for the most part is bogus," says Johnson, founder and director of the nonprofit parrot rescue organization Foster Parrots Ltd. Residents of Foster Parrots, Ltd., enjoy open space in Marc Johnson's renovated barn.

http://www.parrotparrot.com/lovebirds/breeding.htm

Extractions: BEFORE YOU BEGIN The most important thing to consider when deciding to breed lovebirds is how much time and energy you have. Breeding birds need to be in top condition; they cannot be on seed-only diets or be forced to live in dirty cages. They must be supplied a healthy diet with lots of variety. A good pellet mix like Dr. D's or Mazuri and a high-quality seed mix like Volkman are only supplements really. It's the fresh vegetables and grains that will make your birds healthy enough to lay fertile eggs and raise strong babies. For diet recommendations, visit our nutrition page and our recipe page For information on how to get good, healthy breeding stock, read How to Buy a Bird GETTING A TRUE PAIR OF LOVEBIRDS Some visual differences between the sexes are: hens tend to have a wider stance on the perch, hens tend to be a bit larger, hens have wider pelvic bones that can be felt (gently!!) with an index finger. The pelvic bones of the hen also tend to move a bit when felt, which makes it easier for eggs to pass. Also, when you put nesting material in a cage, both hens and cocks will shred the material, but hens will tuck the material under their wings to take them to the nesting box. Males will try to do this, usually unsuccessfully.

Breeding Birds Of Wooded Draws
Annotated species accounts from 1982 study.
http://www.npwrc.usgs.gov/resource/othrdata/woodraws/woodraws.htm

Extractions: Wooded draws represent a unique vegetative community within the northern Great Plains. Because of their limited extent over broad areas of grasslands wooded draws offer potentially diverse breeding areas for a large array of birds and mammals. Seabloom et al. (1978) reported that although wooded habitats made up only 8.6% of their area sampled in southwestern North Dakota, nearly 33% of the observed vertebrate fauna occupied wooded habitats. Little information is available on vertebrate communities in wooded vegetation of western North Dakota. Hopkins (1980) studied the breeding avifaunas of several habitat types in Theodore Roosevelt National Park. Hiemenz and Cassel (1980) reported on bird and mammal communities in west-central North Dakota in 1979 and 1980. Grosz et al. (1981) studied wildlife use of draws in the same general area. Gaines and Kohn (1982) found that wooded draws in western North Dakota surrounded by upland native prairie provided important habitat for nesting Swainson's and red-tailed hawks (scientific names are presented in the Annotated Species Accounts). One serious drawback of these previous investigations has been the lack of integration of plant ecological data with avian population data. Knowledge of the plant and bird data should prove valuable for making predictive estimates of avian use based on plant community physiognomy.
Pseudomonas Infection In Pet And Breeding Birds

http://www.multiscope.com/hotspot/pseudomonas.htm

Extractions: by Tiffany Margolin, DVM Does your bird have a "cold"? Is his nose runny, is he sneezing, or having other signs of a respiratory infection? There are many causes of respiratory problems in birds, but one of the most stubborn and elusive culprits is Pseudomonas. Recently, a green wing macaw named Jackpot was brought to our clinic because he had signs similar to those described above. A simple culture revealed that he had a sever Pseudomonas infection. What exactly is Pseudomonas? It is pronounced "sudamonas", and is a water-loving organism. It is most often found in water sources such as hoses, taps and even water-filtering systems. It is a gram-negative rod-like organism that is not normally found in a healthy bird. If it gains a foothold, it readily proliferates in the warm, moist environment of a bird's respiratory system. Unfortunately for both the bird and its owner, Pseudomonas can be very resistant to many commonly used antibiotics. Pseudomonal infections, by and large, involve the respiratory system. Signs of the infection may include clear or yellowish discharge from one or both nostrils, sneezing, scratching at the nose and ears, and conjuctivitis (red eyes). If the problem is detected early enough, much subtler signs may be the only ones present. For example, the feathers around the nostrils may just be slightly crusty.

Atlas Of Breeding Birds Of The Falkland Islands
We re pleased to announce publication of the Atlas of breeding birds of the It is the first atlas of breeding birds for any South American country.
http://www.falklandsconservation.com/publications/atlas/atlas.html

Extractions: We're pleased to announce publication of the Atlas of Breeding Birds of the Falkland Islands Many Falkland bird populations, seabirds in particular, are of international significance. The Islands support over 80% of the world population of Black-browed Albatross. They remain the most important global site for the Rockhopper Penguin and hold the bulk of the world population of landbird species such as the Ruddy-headed Goose and Black-throated Finch. The rare Striated Caracara (right) is considered to be near-threatened globally with only a small population with a restricted range. Its behaviour is very unusual for a bird of prey and it is a candidate for protected status in forthcoming conservation legislation. Known locally as Johnny Rook, the Striated Caracara is one of 75 Falkland species examined in detail. Maps show counts or estimates of individual populations, detectability ratings and

http://www.njaudubon.org/Research/Atlas.html

Extractions: The Birds of New Jersey was published in 1999 and is available at all of New Jersey Audubon Society's staffed nature centers. The information on both common and rare species gives us baseline data for tracking bird population trends in the state. New Jersey hosts 210 species of breeding birds, 30 species of which are rare, threatened, or endangered. This work is increasingly used to protect high-priority parcels of land. Many U. S. states have completed, or are in the process of completing, their first Atlases. During a period of rapidly diminishing, large-scale, federally funded projects, the Atlas projects stand nearly alone in their scale and relative low cost. In New Jersey, we had about 800 blocks, each about 10 square miles. We generated over 88,000 records on 210 species of breeding birds. To date we have used the data to help direct conservation efforts, and preserve habitat in New Jersey. The censusers have helped to create the largest database on the distribution of New Jersey's Threatened and Endangered birds. This data is also being transferred into the hands of land-use regulators so they can use it to preserve habitat.
