Hello Community - I am a relatively new parakeet owner, although I did have a parakeet as a little girl. My Story in brief - to prevent myself from adopting a new puppy (COVID Crazy) I adopted a couple of keets from my local MSPCA. They were beautiful birds - but older so it was a challenge...

Hi there! I just brought home 2 sweet English budgies 4 days ago. They're a little over a month old and they were hand-fed and tamed by a nice breeder. He advised taking them out for 15 minutes every day right away, and he thought they would be cooperative. But they aren't! They're very bonded...

I have 2 parakeets, I've had them 3 weeks. I've read it's better nutrition to feed them pellets than the pet store seed mixes. The pet store sent me home with a premixed seed and pellet food, they just picked out the seeds. I tried mixing in a higher quality pellet (zupreem), they toss it on...

Hi everyone! I brought home a new budgie 4 days ago,,, today he was very active--eating and flying around his cage. He started doing flips/somersaults into the corner of his cage near his food bowl and then sat on the floor of his cage sleeping with his feathers puffed up. Just wanted to ask if...

I just joined this site. My name is Stacie and me and my husband have 2 lovebirds, a pineapple conure, an African Gray and 2 parakeets. Looking to learn and share with everyone :):blue2: :green::greenyellow::greenyellow::grey:

My parakeet has brownish feathers above the cere crusty beak and always wants to sleep my Vet said it was malnourished so I bought some liquid supplements and gave it more sunlight Is it true what else could I do then

My parakeets hate the outside of the cage Will they ever want to come out on their own? I want them to have room to fly around instead of them being in a cage all day But i wonder if its just because their feathers are cliped and they learned that they will have a bad landing if they try to...

my bird has a small cut on his foot was bitten by the other parakeet. There is no bleeding but its a little red with a little skin. I have read that some people used Neosporin but some say it's ok for parakeets and some say it's bad for them. I'm not sure what to do, any suggestions or help...

I have 2 parakeets that are not tamed and they will not trust my hand but they come to my hand when i have millet or seeds but when i try to get them to step onto my finger they dont want to step up and i think i have scared them and i dont know if they will trust my hand again or be scared of...

I just adopted 5 budgies. They are 8 months old, supposedly, and I got them from a local rescue. I want them to have the best life so I joined to learn as much as I can and share stories. My family owned a pet shop as a child so I cared for many animals early on. At this point, they are totally...

So this is a really tough situation I’d never thought I’d be in but here I am. So I work at a pet store and there’s a pair of parakeets that have been mating. Much to my annoyance the store does nothing and the female has been laying eggs. Each egg she lays we are told to take and throw them...

Hey, is it okay to use this nestbox for my parakeets couple ? https://imgur.com/a/ISuE8Un basically it's a cockatiel nestbox but it's the best I can find in my area concerning the quality of wood and the size, it's a bit large for a parakeet I guess but would it be a problem ? I also found a...

Hi everyone, I just received a new parakeet as a gift all of a sudden(without my permission). And now I’m currently freaking out that I may be improperly caring for him. I really need to know if the cage posted below will be appropriate for him. I was also wondering if anyone can give me tips...

I am new pet owner. This is my first pair of parakeet. They both are with me for 2weeks now. Second one is more friendly then the first one. But I can't tell if they are male or female by their cere. Can any of you help me please?

A friend of mine has just inherited two Parakeets - a bonded pair (male and female). She was told that the 'keets are about one year old. Both ceres are dark in their respective colors (very blue and pinkish brown). She has them in a 30x18x18" flight cage with food, water, and 3-4 toys. That's...

First off, we are 100% new to parakeet breeding/eggs. Especially seeing as we had not considered it a possibility, we believed that we had two female parakeets. We understand, of course, that these eggs may very well be infertile. But we simply think it best to care for them as if they were...

Hi, I am new to this forum, I have cockatiels but have never had a parrot so don’t know much about parrots. I live in the Lake District Cumbria. In case it’s relevent. The last couple of days my neighbour has noticed this green parrot on her bird feeder trying to eat the peanuts. I have seen...

So I have three budgies and I want to breed the two. There are two males and a female. One of the males is already bonded and preening and feeding each other. The nesting box has been in there for about two and a half months and there is no sign of the female ever going inside of it. There is...

Hello all, I'm brand new to the forum and I joined to get feedback on this question. I got a 5 month old Indian Ringneck named Dagger (when I first met him he bit me and drew blood, hence the name) about a month ago and I've been taking all the typical advice (no sudden movements, soft kind...

My parakeet Loki, that I've had for two years, seems to not want to stick to one color. When I got him his nose was turning blue, then it looked kinda purple, then almost brown, then turned blue again. It's been blue for about a year, got him a friend a few months back and now Loki's nose is...

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...

i got my albino baby at a pet store a month ago! I've never had birds before so i didn't know anything about gender and stuff and they didn't tell me at the pet store. i researched and came to the conclusion that pico was a boy due to the hints of blue at his/her cere. but I got girls from a...

Bug has had a tail bob for about a week, which has seem to gone away for the most part. She also is puffed up when she sits in her cage, but when I approach or when she is moving around/out playing the puffiness goes away. It has been a bit chilly in my bedroom so I shut all the windows and put...

Hello everyone! My one year old budgie Thaii, has been interested in one of my old shoes and tries to go in and out of it. She has a mate, named Dexter and he is also 1yr+. I only took the shoe to give to my Boyfriend's tiel since I'm birdsitting him, and he LOVES shoes, feet, and socks. c...

Hello, I'm new here so don't mind my inexperience on this forum (> - <) I got my male budgie (fully grown) from a pet store last year, around fall and I want some tips of how to train him! I don't know his exact age, but his nose was fully blue, and he was a chubby boy. x: (Guessing 1 1/2 or...

The English Budgie: Calmer & Quieter than the American Parakeet? I think so, anyone else? Article here: http://bitly.com/PmEsIk

I found a female parakeet - under a bush! Had her for a few months. Her wings are unclipped, but I purposely left them as they are because I also have a dog and I thought perhaps she might need them if for some insane reason they were face to face. (I would never allow it, but just in case -...
