	Davis Lund Aviaries - Mb Breeding & Handraising
		Mousebirds can be very aggressive, even to their mates, if in too small of a cage so use good judgment They will breed in mixed aviaries, but if there are more than one pair of mousebirds in an aviary then usually only the dominant, or alpha pair, will breed unless the aviary is very large.
		Mousebird chicks are difficult to get to accept the feeding syringe, and, for the first couple of feedings, the beak may need to be gently prised apart and food forced in slowly.
		Mousebird chicks should be kept separately so as to avoid aggressive feather-plucking and to kept each bird socialized to humans, if they are to be a pet bird.

	Drinking Behavior of Mousebirds in the Namib Desert, Southern Africa
		On the afternoon of 31 July, 10 mousebirds drank at the water hole even though fog and dew had collected in droplets on the vegetation earlier in the morning, and on 1 August groups of 4 to 8 birds came to drink at 1000, 1100, 1130, 1400, 1500, and 1600 hours.
		Possibly the mousebirds were also feeding on Ebbehout berries at this time, although we did not see them doing so, and this drier food may have necessitated their drinking some water.
		If sucking proves to be characteristic for all species of mousebirds, then it will be necessary to decide whether their drinking behavior is homologous with that of the Columbiformes and indicates relationship between these orders or, as seems more likely to us, represents another example of a striking convergence between unrelated groups.
