So, we have four babies, two Cockies and two Parakeets. A boy and girl in each pair.
- My Question is about the little parakeets (mostly):
While taking the babies in for nail and wing clipping, the girls at the shop commented on how tame and cooperative Binky the male parakeet was. I thanked them and mentioned he is always a polite and well mannered little bird. His spouse Pikachu gave a little nip, but was otherwise well behaved too. At home, all the birds are sweet and play nice together, though the male cockie (Budy) can still be a grumpy boy (but his bite habit is much much better now). -- The girls at the shop also commented and said "Don't let your tame parakeets have babies, or they will go wild, and you'll never be able to hold them again..." .... Hmmmm.
- So my QUESTION is... Is this true/false ?????? Will tame friendly parakeets go back to wild (unfriendly) birds if allowed to have babies?? - Or is there more to this??..... or.....?
(NOTE: I am asking in regards to AFTER the babies are weened, i know they dont like to be messed with while caring for the new babies - So i am asking about the long term -- Though an all inclusive answer is welcomed too).
Any input would be valued greatly, we want our flock to remain close (all of us.)
Kindly,
Bat.
