parakeet

Hi guys, I just barely adopted a new parakeet and I wanted to get him a new cage. I was wondering if this was an appropriate size. He will be the only one in here. Thank you so much for the help.:yellow2:

My parakeet began throwing up clear liquid this afternoon, is lethargic, and not behaving normally. I took her to the vet, they did a physical on her and said everything seemed normal. They said they could do x-rays and other diagnosis things, but they said the stress could potentially kill her...

I took in a parakeet couple several months ago and immediately put them in separate (yet still touching) cages. The female laid eggs and I had to put them back together. I'm having a hard time getting her to stop laying eggs but I'm having a worse time getting the babies to survive. She is a...

I've owned parakeets in the past, however, this is my first albino. I thought she was pure white until I examined her closely. While her eyes are the standard red/dark pink and her legs are flesh of an albino, her feathers have a very soft pink hue to them. The part of the feathers just above...

Hello all and thanks in advance for any replies. I used to have some finches and a canary but that was a decade or so ago. I have been researching different pet birds and interacting with them at bird stores for about a year. I fell in love with sun conures and my family and I decided that was...

Hello, my name is Baca and I have several pets. 2 dogs, several fresh water fish, 2 budgies, and 3 kids lol. Joining the forum as I just adopted a 2 year old(supposedly) budgie named Charlie which I've had for about one month.:blue2: Today I got a second budgie, which we named Coco who is an...

So I’m sorta new to birds, and I’m kind of confused on the gender, I heard that brown/crusty is for female and purple/blue is for male. I always thought my green bird was a boy but lately his/her cere is kind of crusty but it has a bit of blue on it? He’s roughly probably a year old so his cere...

Hello everyone. I guess the...bird...is out of the...cage??? I would say cat is out of the bag but uhh, bird forum. Three weeks ago, I ordered a huge cage for Lily and Snowball. So huge, many have reviewed “I could fit at least 6 budgies in here without feeling it’s crammed”. Meaning, since I...

Hello Parrot Forum Users! Today I wanted a little opinion on what I should get and I want facts why. I have never had a bird before (nobody in my family has of a matter if a fact) and it is new to us all. I have heard great things about Budgies but they take tons of time to train and you may get...

Hello guys. It’s been at least six months now since I received Snowball from my niece. Those who don’t know his story, he is my niece’s bird but she wasn’t allowed to keep him at her house, and where he was staying...torture is the best way to describe what he went through, to which my niece...

Hello, I wanted to ask for advice on a parrot that is owned by a family who hasn’t done their research on the matter. It’s rather long so I apologize for that, but I really need help with this My girlfriend owns a four and a half year old Quaker Parrot, with a bit of a messy history before...

:gcc:Hello guys, I'm new to the forum and to owning birds so I need some advice. I got my first pair of Orange-Chinned Parakeets recently and one of them was pretty friendly the first day I got him and would perch on my fingers(he seemed hand tamed) but then after one day he suddenly turned to...

Hello all! I am new to the process of starting hand taming a parakeet from scratch( the ones that I've had previously were tamed and very sweet). I let Caso live on my desk for the first 2 months so she could get used to my voice and me being in her area. She has started taking interest in me...

Hey guys, I need some advice. A friend of mine asked me if I would take care of her Alexandrine Parakeet, Marley. The bird is a 3-year-old feather-plucker. My friend rescued Marley from a family that kept her in a tiny budgie cage on a diet of sunflower seeds. That's when she began plucking her...

Decided to try out DIY toys since I had so much stuff lying around. Decided to take inspiration from the holiday crackers you get from the bargain store that pop open and have toys inside. Needless to say he was ripping it apart to get inside before I could tie it tight onto the cage lol...

So I have two parakeets (female and male) and I made some homemade toys for them. One of them had a waffle ball stuffed with shredded paper and another one had an individual yucca chip that I bought from a pack on amazon. They liked it right away but the next morning I noticed that the ball had...

Hello my sweet little parakeet BooBoo Chicken recently seemed sick so i took her to the vet. It started suddenly at night when she was rubbing her head on EVERYTHING very obsessively and sneezing like crazy and seemed very uncomfortable. So the next morning i took her to the vet and she did not...

Could anyone offer some good advice for how I can help my Parakeet, Gizmo? I've got him relatively recently (about a month ago), while he has improved, his behaviors seem strange. He rarely makes any noise at all, never bites when handled, and seems to stay relatively still. While he has...

9 months ago my little brother and I purchased two parakeets from pet smart (I think?). At first we just let them adjust and get used to their surroundings, like all the websites say to do, but they weren't getting any more used to us. After months of them not being used to us at all, we went to...

I'm new to bird-keeping and have looked everywhere for "quiet" birds, mostly because I have a house with high ceilings and am not very fond of screeches echoing into my ears. I've eliminated lovebirds, conures, and ringnecks. I'm looking into cockatiels more and more, but people seem to say they...

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...

Hello! I'm Axel and just got a parakeet about 1.5 months ago. Their name is Doodle and is a blue-ish periwinkle color. They are adjusting well to their new home. (In fact, they're singing and dancing as I type this haha) They have been outside of their cage once so far. I am currently...

I'm a first time bird owner and have noticed that my budgie Doodle (purchased about 1.5 months ago) will try to lunge towards me onto the bars. They will also climb all over the bars to get closer to me. They get mad when I talk to people I know via the computer. I think they want more...

Snowball has taken it upon himself to be jealous enough of Warbeak to finally come and hang out himself. He sees Warbeak on my shoulder eating millet or other treats a lot and yesterday he got so bold as to come jump to the door (but then rethought everything and went back). Today however, it...

What types of different species of birds do well towhee I'm not talking same cages but just being out of their cages? Do parakeets parrotlets and love birds do well together? Are Indian ringnecks okay to have with other birds Thanks in advance

Okay so I've been looking at some new toys and stuff for a budgie and was wondering if these coconut cove things are safe for them I saw some things ab the rope not being good if they chew on it and if anyone has it do you like it??

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
