Hello all,
I was at petsmart today getting cat food (I only have one cat) and I was walking by the bird isle just to say hello to some birds and I saw two beautiful parakeets, they are bebe canary winged. I don’t know if it’s technically a parrot, or a parakeet or canary (I just got home) but it was two of them and they were so scared of me, and the poor little one on the right went and hid it’s head in the other ones neck, it moved me. So I asked the worker if they sell these individually or in pairs, she said whichever you’d like. I was semi shocked.. that they would separate these two beautiful creatures, they were so timid and overloaded with the people and scared. They were pricey for parakeets but I bought them, I can’t let them be separated or scared by all of the kids and customers. My girlfriend is pissed because I didn’t tell her but she’ll get over it hopefully.
They only had a 29” cage, which I bought with some toys, tomorrow I’m going to find the biggest cage for them I can find. I also got them parrot food, it’s just mixed seeds and nuts. I gave them purified water, they are very startled and don’t trust me.
So I need advice on what to do immediately, like today and tomorrow.
I put a towel on their cage to try and calm them down a bit, my cat puccini was messing with them, so I locked him in my office where I am typing this now. He is not an aggressive cat, just curious but I don’t want to startle these poor things. They were just caught with a net, put in a small box and are now in a new cage in the big ass dudes dining room. Should I put a towel on their cage?
Also should I leave the lights on for them? Also my thermostat is set to 68, I live in western New York it’s really cold here, especially this week. Should I put them away from the window. I also know to not cook with Teflon near birds because of a story from a family friend.
Can you please give me advice on what to do immediately? I am doing research on them as well but that’s going to take time, I didn’t plan on having birds when I left the pet store but they just looked so sad. I will never abandon them.
Please let me know what to do, and what not to do.
Also these are winged beebee canaries, both of them a little over a year old.
Thank you 🙏 and sorry for the frantic post, it’s been a weird day.
Cheers
