Does anyone here have a canary winged parakeet? I met one today. Upon first look I thought it was a green quaker but it had yellow on the wings and a different face than a quaker. Very cute and sweet but I've never heard much about them.

Hellooo! I have one too! You are so right about the fresh fruit and veggies. We have to restrict her fruit intake now because she would eat it all day and gave herself a yeast infection in her beak from all the sugar! Oops! Canary-wing parakeet high-five!
help! can anyone tell me what is going on. 2 canary wing parakeets,7 mos old. got them at 4mos,together. now one seems to be trying to grab the other ones foot, also notice it has been trying to climb on it's back. don't know if they are boy or girls, that's why i call them BOO & BOO. i don't like the foot pulling BOO 1 is doing to BOO 2.

My Linnie brothers do the same foot biting and try climbing on each other, they are around 6 months. I was worried at first but have figured out it is just horse play, like play fighting. They also try to knock each other off the perch sometimes using their feet
I wouldn't worry unless it looks like one is really hurting the other.

Mine's name is Ivy! Hence the username She is less than a year old but we don't know for sure, and she is a girl because I decided so (lol). Not like it matters or anything. She is the best bird! Really a dream come true. She is only loud when I leave the room or when she's excited to see someone. My favorite noise she makes is her happy little kisses/chuckles whenever she gets her morning veggies! Do yours make that noise too?

Man you sure got that one right! There is so much attitude packed into my little bird. Her "angry sound" makes me giggle every single time! She thinks she's so tough
lol they act so big and scary, but are little fluff balls! the ones at the pet store will all go "meeehhh...meeehhh...MEEHHH!" when you go to pet them. then you start scratching their head and they realize "hey! that feels great, a little to the left please". i always said they have more bark then bite...then i got bit lol

how would one even go about finding a canary winged parakeet? I don't believe they sell them in pet stores here in buffalo, ny
Hi Wulfie - keep an eye on craigslist (of all places). I've seen several on craigslist (but I watch from NJ to Pittsburgh & up to Niagara Falls because that's the territory I sometimes travel for work).
Just a thought.
ivysaur, boo1 & boo2 are making little sounds, the one is pretty bird, they have said a few other thing but not real clear. they love to sit on my shoulder and talk in my ear. it's like mutt & jeff, if one does something, the other has to do it. i'm having trouble putting them back in their cage, they bite me,and yell. otherwise they are very sweet,. any ideas. i think it would better to have gotten only one at the time, but couldn't leave one behind. it was only the two of them.
