Breeder Timnehs

[mae2050]

Hello all. We have recently purchased a breeder pair of Timnehs. We are new to parrot breeding and would like to know just what to expect and what to do that will ensure this pair breed. The pair are about 3.5 years old.

We've read that they can start breeding as early as 3 years old. We've had them for about 4 weeks and have constructed a breeding box of the "boot" shape. They don't seem too interested in the box... altho one (we think the male) will sometimes stand on the platform, just inside the top part of the box. They are not "tame", but they do seem to enjoy the company of humans and other birds (we have 3 cockatiels). We have isolated them in their own room and try to leave them alone as much as possible. Does anyone have any advice on the best environment to give the breeder birds?

could come on here and LEARN about birds. But again and again you tell people to go read books, go google, or some other lame ass remark. If you have DECADES of experience then why don't you help some of these people that have questions about their new birds instead of telling them to go google, or you shouldn't have a bird if you don't know anything about them. You give people so much crap and then tell people that you have decades of experience. Yes I have seen a few of your posts that actually has COMMON SENSE knowledge about birds, but I have not seen anything that was relatively new to the bird community as to say, WOW she actually knows something more than anyone else.

Pam, your attitude sucks most of the time, and the only reason I reply to you is maybe to show you that you have a nasty attitude and that maybe you should learn what Respect is. No one, and I repeat NO ONE knows everything about birds. So why do you own birds? Do you actually know enough Pam? These questions are so lame that it tells me when you say them to other people that you just don't know the answer to the question and wish to make the other people feel more stupid than you already are.

You opinion has been noted and printed, used as toilet paper and flushed down the toilet. This is how all your posts should be handled.

I do Ray, in way of handing the people over to experts that know about these things. I do not know everything Ray. I am not like you who stands on your pile of bird crap screaming, Tony's an Idiot.

No I don't Ray, and you just acquiring one does not make you an expert. Besides the only advice you give is your LAME opinion, like the one below.

BLAH BLAH BLAH. The more you go on the more I believe that you are a
Mental Defective person.

Thanks Ray, I appreciate the compliment. Keep it up, your stalking skills are improving.

Why don't you come down off your pile of bird crap and join us other bird owners. Oh I forgot, your the All Knowing Mamabird, and her band of bird brains, who live on the World's largest pile of bird crap. Do you have any good advice, or do you just pass your opinions along? If
I have good advice, I e-mail it. That way I don't have to deal with all the crappy opinions that you crap dwellers throw around as advice.

My experience is that I don't think the uniformed are ready to wean hatchlings which is what happens when the eggs hatch.
My experience is that I don't think that African Greys are the right bird to learn how to breed.
To start/run a business you have to know what you are doing ahead of time (even while running a lemonade stand).
I was hoping the new breeder would have enough conscious to not torture innocent birds by nelglect and misinformation.
Yes, knowledge is gained through experience but hopefully it doesn't kill anything during the learning process. We're not talking about baking a loaf of bread or leaning how to work on a computer, were talking about little beings with a life span of 50+ years. I don't sit back and laugh, I address the obvious. I would be remiss if I gave you the car keys, showed you how to start the car and put it in drive and you didn't know where the brakes were, where Park was located and you had to ask via internet how to stop...

I have a great life and I am not going away. I am just stating my opinion, just like you did. Except, I gave pertinent information for the OP to think about. If I was heartless, I would sit back and say nothing and later read posts on what to feed a hatchling and worse. Let Chris say my info is no good and that they know better.

You Tony, are wasting our time.

<snipped> then you gone on to simply post a load of stuff which also doesn't have anything to do with the subject in hand. So desperate are you to have a go at me.

'bitch','menopausal' and 'problem'. Have you been reading books again?
As for my 'problems', perhaps, seeing as you have a better idea of my 'problems' than I do, you could offer me advice on them. I am not yet menopausal , am relatively sane,have decades of birdkeeping experience, and do indeed offer sound advice. I do not however tolerate fools gladly and get flipping annoyed when people post asking questions which they should have researched *before* buying a bird, or asking for veterinary advice rather than actually *go* to a vet.
I also get really peed off when someone comes along offering bad and dangerous and outright cruel advice like you have often done.

[Phunkygal]

Tony, what opinion or advice have you offered on the topic at hand, other that to butt into a thread that you know nothing about? You're whining that
I should be quiet? That is your contribution to the topic at hand? Let Chris complain that none of this info has helped. He/she has been curiously quiet.
I know what I have said has struck a chord inside them. No problem, it was meant to. How about it Chris?

End of discussion..

Why don't you go to school anymore Ray? Did your mommy, OldMolly, take you out because she wanted to raise an ignorant person, or is that a trait in your whole family to be stupid?
