parakeet

I am going to be looking in to getting a new bird within the coming up months and I am deciding between a parakeet or a lovebird. I've had two parakeets in the past but they were so scared I never hand trained them. I want one that is going to be active and play around a lot and a little crazy...

I had a nice wonderful surprise this morning from Snowball. Yesterday too, actually. Yesterday morning he was chirping like crazy to a bird outside. It's the first active chirping I've heard from him (minus his 3 quiet ones on Monday) since I got him on Sunday. That was a great sign. Today...

To those who are curious about the horrifying past of this budgie (Snowball), see my forum post here: Might be longer than expected getting a conure - Parrot Forum - Parrot Owner's Community I attached a photo of him on top of his new cage. I had to rush and get a new one for him today because...

Alright guys. I had a previous forum post about me preparing to get a conure. That is still open for discussion and I will still keep up with it, but something unexpected came up today where I am now ending up with a surprise rescue budgie. My niece came over today and dumped a load on me. She...

Hello, I just got my new budgie Corvo a few days ago. He had a previous owner who never gave him any fruits or veggies. I've been trying to give him more, and he's started eating them finally. It looks like there's alot of water in there with his poo, and I was wondering if that was normal since...

I bought a hand raised parakeet from a breeder almost a year ago and I'm having trouble getting him to leave his cage. When I first got him the breeder told me to regularly take him out using a towel. I did this a couple of times but he was so anxious and scared I was worried I was doing more...

Hello all, So I was playing with my budgie when I noticed AN EGG on the bottom of his/her cage!! I don't know whether it is fertile or not. However, I do have 2 budgies. The cere on the budgie that laid the egg is plain white but the cere on my other bird is brown. I need to know a few things...

This is my first time as a member of this community and I just got my first pair of Rosey Bourkes today! I had read up on them and expected them to be very flighty and nervous but one of them is the sweetest little thing! It hops up on my finger and follows me everywhere! The other one is very...

I recently found a rescue near me with a lineolated parakeet and I've started to become interested in the species. I've had no prior experience with a parrot/parakeet in my own home so I was wondering if the lineolated would be a good first-bird for me to take care of (especially in comparison...

I've been wanting a bird for a few years now and have never owned one previously. Most of my family is okay with getting a bird especially my sister who said she will help me care for them. I'm a sophomore in high school with a A/B average so I'm responsible. I've been wanting a Green Cheeked...

Crystal is the Yellow, Kiwi is the White Mix. They are both so loving

he just recently started doing this a week ago and I'm hoping this is normal or if somethings wrong :greenyellow: bird going nut or is this play - YouTube

He's FINALLY here! I picked him up Saturday (his 12 week mark), which was a long day and yesterday we started bonding, so here is a picture from this morning! Meet Lil Pete! He is so clumsy and ridiculous the named seemed to fit :D He chatters away and loves attentions and pets. We are working...

My parakeet, Kika, is around 8-9 years old which I have been told is kind of elderly for a parakeet. He made a couple of vet visits recently for colds and has recovered beautifully! However, I've noticed he has been scratching his face against his perches and other things. To the point that he...

Hello, I never thought I would be doing this, but I think I need to rehome at least one of my birds. I just don't know what to do. To say that animals are my passion is an understatement...my love of animals- birds in particular- is part of my soul. I wanted birds since I was a child, and got my...

So I've had Toby for 3 weeks and few days...he likes to sit on my hand, he still seems a little scared initially when he gets taken out of the cage (he does fly out by himself). He is still getting adjusted I'm sure, but will react to my voice and will look excited when I get home from work. I'm...

Hello, I'm new to the site but I signed up because I knew this was a great place to get into from other bird owners, and recently I've been a bit worried about my bird Finn. He's a green budgie who I got a couple of months ago. He's been a real handful since I got him. His wings were...

I've had my single female parakeet for almost two years now. She has a very large cage, about ten toys, and is very happy. She's tame and spends about three hours a day outside of her cage. She has a ton of energy and is loud. Lots of high pitched squawks whenever I'm not giving her my full...
