parakeets

A friend of mine has just inherited two Parakeets - a bonded pair (male and female). She was told that the 'keets are about one year old. Both ceres are dark in their respective colors (very blue and pinkish brown). She has them in a 30x18x18" flight cage with food, water, and 3-4 toys. That's...

First off, we are 100% new to parakeet breeding/eggs. Especially seeing as we had not considered it a possibility, we believed that we had two female parakeets. We understand, of course, that these eggs may very well be infertile. But we simply think it best to care for them as if they were...

Hi, I am new to this forum, I have cockatiels but have never had a parrot so don’t know much about parrots. I live in the Lake District Cumbria. In case it’s relevent. The last couple of days my neighbour has noticed this green parrot on her bird feeder trying to eat the peanuts. I have seen...

So I have three budgies and I want to breed the two. There are two males and a female. One of the males is already bonded and preening and feeding each other. The nesting box has been in there for about two and a half months and there is no sign of the female ever going inside of it. There is...

Hello all, I'm brand new to the forum and I joined to get feedback on this question. I got a 5 month old Indian Ringneck named Dagger (when I first met him he bit me and drew blood, hence the name) about a month ago and I've been taking all the typical advice (no sudden movements, soft kind...

My parakeet Loki, that I've had for two years, seems to not want to stick to one color. When I got him his nose was turning blue, then it looked kinda purple, then almost brown, then turned blue again. It's been blue for about a year, got him a friend a few months back and now Loki's nose is...

Hi! Yuki is a male 1 year old parakeet and we let him out of his cage all the time and he loves to fly around the room. Anyway, we’re gonna be out of town for a week and unfortunately, it’s not really possible for the person taking care of Yuki to let him out. Will this make Yuki very frustrated...

Meet Yuki! Yuki is a crazy 1 year old male parakeet. He loves to give smooches, eat my dads spider plant, fly on top of screens, scare away my dog Nikko, and play with the window blinds puller by his cage. We love him so so much ❤️ Follow him on instagram @yukko_niki.bb

My budgie, Doodle, is a bit weird when it comes to fingers... Every now and then I can touch their beak and give them a tiny bit of millet but for the most part, they lunge and bite my finger. I know they like to be pet sense one night when they were tired he wanted me to scratch his neck. It...

i got my albino baby at a pet store a month ago! I've never had birds before so i didn't know anything about gender and stuff and they didn't tell me at the pet store. i researched and came to the conclusion that pico was a boy due to the hints of blue at his/her cere. but I got girls from a...

Bug has had a tail bob for about a week, which has seem to gone away for the most part. She also is puffed up when she sits in her cage, but when I approach or when she is moving around/out playing the puffiness goes away. It has been a bit chilly in my bedroom so I shut all the windows and put...

Hello everyone! My one year old budgie Thaii, has been interested in one of my old shoes and tries to go in and out of it. She has a mate, named Dexter and he is also 1yr+. I only took the shoe to give to my Boyfriend's tiel since I'm birdsitting him, and he LOVES shoes, feet, and socks. c...

The English Budgie: Calmer & Quieter than the American Parakeet? I think so, anyone else? Article here: http://bitly.com/PmEsIk

I found a female parakeet - under a bush! Had her for a few months. Her wings are unclipped, but I purposely left them as they are because I also have a dog and I thought perhaps she might need them if for some insane reason they were face to face. (I would never allow it, but just in case -...
