    Re: New member with questions

    she might well have made her home there im afraid you have 3 options i think. the others will correct me if im wrong. NO.1 let her go back where you found her and dont mow the lawn. NO.2 take her to the nearest bit of land with water and greenery where she wont be disturbed by urban living. NO.3 keep her and pick everyones brains on how to deal with a gravid female and then her babies when they are born.

    If you were to release her, I would recommend that you move her well away from people/mowers etc.
    If you choose to keep her, you will need to separate her from the babies when they arrive.
    Their care is similar to that of the adults... only in miniature. Your resource is right here on this marvellous forum.

    Thanks for all the quick replies. Shoot I feel responsible for her now. She's right by our bird feeders, which also is a favorite hang out for a hawk.

    In a house with 3 cats, 2 dogs and 50 parrots, what's one more mouth to feed, right?

    We had over 100 at one time. You get used to the yappin. Generally noisey early morning, then settle in. At night they are quite.

    Except our African Grey. He talks all day long....

    On the Garder note..

    Do I need to provide a water dish as well as worms?

    Thanks for all the help, BTW!
