parakeet

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...

(This is probably going to be long, sorry.) Hello. I am sad to say that my joining here is for help in a currently grave effort to rehome our 3 budgies. We are no longer able to care for them properly, and they are not doing well with us anymore. My husband had to get a work-at-home job after...

I have a couple of completely novice questions, so I'm hoping some of you can educate me! I have a 7 year old parakeet that has been on pellets most of her life. I'm slowly introducing her to fresh foods - she's loving greens and peas, but not much else yet. We're also bringing home a baby sun...

I am going to be a new parrot owner after a week or two or three or four... .But i am going to get one and it is going to be a budgie:blue2:.So i wanted to get all the information i can and so i joined this site. Right now i have a green budgie named Alex of my friend. He dropped alex just...

Hey everyone! My name is Josh, and I own a Budgerigar named Juniper. Juniper is a female, Fullbody Greywing at about 3 years old! She's a beautiful bird and super energetic. I keep her fully flighted and she sure does love it. Juniper will fly all around the house, switching from shoulder to...

I have a Green Cheek Conure and I'm having trouble getting him toys. He really doesn't like it when they are wobbly or they move. Most of the bird toys I'm told to get or are given are like that. He doesn't like ropes or swings at all. What kind of toy should I get him?

After his bath, Milo loves to be wrapped like a burrito as I pretend to eat him. And then he makes the munchie noises back. After our little ritual, I take coconut oil between my fingers and rub it on his beak and feet (which he relishes). He gets so relaxed that he closes his eyes...

Earlier in January, I bought a 4-month old parakeet who had been hand-fed, but due to fighting with other flock members, was removed from the group after he was weaned and I believe his hand interactions were stopped then, which is unfortunate. Why would someone stop putting effort into...

A story about my Henry. I decided to get my baby Henry, a blue english budgie, from a breeder near me, and I loved that little bird more than anything. He was so special to me. He was allowed to fly around the house freely once he mastered the art of flying, and he would always come to me when...

Hello everyone! First off, how is everyone doing today? My question is relating to my little budgie friend named Glow Worm. I am trying to figure out where I am going wrong in my training. From what I have read online, he should be about one year old or so. He is a male, and he sings all the...

hey guys, so few days ago i noticed that echo has a bump on the side of his beak, below his eyes . I have been monitoring and i don't believe it has grown any or its very small of a growth. However i can definitely feel the bump. I'm just wondering if i should wit to see maybe if it was his him...

Hello! Last night I found a Budgie on a side walk in Korea Town, Los Angeles. The poor dear was terrified and my boyfriend to just snatch her (don't worry, it was gentle, but I'm sure scary for her) and put her in the travel cage because she wouldn't respond to any calls or let us pick her up...

Hey guys i am new and i have a question. My best friend got a cockatiel and after playing around with him a bit i have kinda been obsessed with him. So i am thinking about getting one of my own... but i have to parakeets. I have read that they are fine together and that Cockatiels will eat...

My male budgie named Cole cannot fly. He is 10 years old, and is kept with a female budgie named Ella. They both weigh 1.1 ounces. This has been going on for about 1 month or two. He also developed defacation problems too. His feces sticks to his feathers sometimes and hardens. I clean it every...

Hi there, I just got a call from my brothers work to come in and check out their 4 year old parakeet for what they thought may be a hurt leg. I work with animals for a living and am currently in school for veterinary technician. I know I am not a vet, but it is Sunday and there is no vets open...

I'm new to the forum, but I'm really desperate. Today I found an odd lump on my parakeet's beak. I bought him almost two weeks ago and I'm unsure how old he is. The lump is the same color of his beak and it is reddish brown at the base. I'm really worried for him. Can anyone tell me what it...

Hello, everyone! I have posted here a few times before about my seemingly "untrainable" parakeet, Kiko. The story (again) is that I bought him back in April 2011, three years ago. Before I had gotten him, I did all of the research (which is the only reason my mom let me get him). I had books...

I'm getting to an end of large Kaytee parrot food bag that we bought in Petsmart when getting Parry (they recommended it to us). This food has large pellets and dried fruit which Parry never eats - most of this food goes to the wild birds and squirrels in the garden. He only eats small seeds (or...

So I'm still trying to fix things up after the loss of my finches. However, on the bright side I got my surviving finches checked out and they are all in good health. I have also put my dove on a better diet and am giving black jack more fresh foods. I have been working at a pet store for a...

Hey again, guys!!! It's been a while. (: So, here's the thing. I have a parakeet, named Kiko. I've had him for about 3 years now and I haven't been able to touch him once or do anything with him. He was the most stubborn bird ever, for the first year I got him I spent hours on end with him...

I took my parakeet, Chipper, to the vet a couple of days ago to get her claws trimmed. They always weigh birds whenever you bring them in, which I like. But it turns out Chipper is WAY overweight. (The vet tech said she's "a little chunky"). I knew she has been getting a little chubby, but I...

I found this little guy at the farm around the yard, managed to catch her before the cat did! Just wondering if anybody could tell me what type of parakeet she is?

How to Get Your Budgie to Stop Biting - YouTube I wanted to try to help others with the problem of their budgie biting. :greenyellow:

Hello, I have four male parakeets which haven't been mine for more than a month. It started with one parakeet (Articuno), then a friend gave me Sheldon because she thought he'd be happier with a friend, and finally I got two others from a lady who knew I had two parakeets and couldn't take care...

Hey everyone, my name is Andrea. I currently have only one bird, a budgie named Fynn. I am currently working on hand taming him as he hasn't had much human interaction. :smiley2: He's a sweet little guy, and i'm also working on getting him off of the dreaded seed only diet. I'm pretty sure he...

I just got a new plum-headed parakeet, it is a female one an i call her Nami, sh is about 3 years old and she was born in captivity.Actually this is the second day I have her with me. She is afraid to it and when she is trying to eat sunflower seeds she drops the down. She tried to escape...

My wife and I recently put a deposit down on a male plum headed parakeet baby. We currently have an 8 month old female green cheeked conure (pineapple) that has been a joy to live with. There really is next to no information on keeping plum heads as pets on the internet, just a couple videos...

HI. Our parakeet is between 5 and 8 years old. Between wing clippings she got startled and flew to the window sill but then fell to the floor (6 weeks ago). Her wings were not hurt (checked by a friend who is a more experienced bird owner) but one of her feet doesn't seem to work right anymore...

Hi bird lovers!(: I'm new here, and I have a parakeet named Kiko. At night and in the evening, he sits on the perch closest to the outside of the cage. Thus meaning that I can easily pet him through the cage. I've never actually pet him before, because whenever I stick my finger in there, he...

Hi Everyone, my name is Brian but my user name is Bynnie... I got that name from my niece when she was very young. She called me uncle Bynnie because she couldn't say Brian, so it has stuck with me for the last 15 or so years. I bought a pair of parakeets about 10 years ago when my wife and I...

Hi guys I recently became the owner of 2 cute parakeets. They were passed on to my girlfriend from her late grandfather, so we really do not have much experience with the sort. Also, I'm not sure how old they are, but pretty sure the youngest is somewhere between 2-4 years, and the oldest a...
