parakeet

I have a female and male pair of parakeets and for the past week and a half my female has spent almost all of her time in the nesting box. Pulling out feathers, scratching around and puffing herself up like a broody hen. She’s become territorial of the nesting box and does not like when I go...

These are my pair of rosie bourkes, a budgie-sized parrot also native to Australia. The color is amazing on these guys. They are qentler and much more subdued than regular parakeets (budgies) and they are shy, quiet birds.

Does anyone know if there is any research on mareks in psittaciformes? Has anyone had anecdotal experience with this?

today I found that one of my budgies had passed she was lying on the bottom of the cage so not sure what happened My question is could my 3 other budgies be sick and could it have somehow passed from my chickens to my budgies

I recently got a little budgie that I named JoJo (after Jonathan Joestar). I. LOVE. HIM. He is the sweetest little thing! He is a little gentlebird.

So...I've done my research...and decided to get two budgies! Does anyone here have any extra advice that I should know before getting them? Thx in advance!

I recently got a parakeet, I was working on training him and he flew away. He bumped into the window. It wasn’t to hard but I’m I am worried. He more aggressive than usual. I went to look at him to see if he was okay and he tried to bite me. He seems to be shaking and his eyes are closed. If you...

I woke up this morning and noticed that my parakeet Tiki was sitting funny on his leg. I thought maybe he’s just being weird or something and didn’t think anything of it until I let him fly around my room and noticed his leg wasn’t working at all. He was dragging himself along the top of his...

New budgie! What color type variety and mutation is he/she? Also, name suggestions, please?! Definitely not Keylime, Sunflower, or Kiwi. Nothing too obvious. His/Her companions are already named Piper and Scout.

Anyone well versed with budgie/parakeet mutations and varieties? I've done some reading, looked at charts/pictures, and I've watched informative videos. Still, I'd like some info and opinions on my new girl (or boy?) Can anyone identify my bird's variety? [As for gender, everyone has told me...

I just got a little budgie and was wondering about the sex. Male or female? I know you genuinely judge by the color of the cere. But I'm new to this! Is my deadly Piper a boy or girl? I was told he/she is around 4 months and has not had a first molt yet (still had little button eyes and barring...

Yesterday my dog got to one of my parakeets and hurt him pretty badly. All his tail feathers are gone his wing is broken and he's missing a lot of under his wing and was bleeding pretty bad yesterday. Im stopped the bleeding cleaned the wound and applied some antibiotic ointment. Some my next...

My dog got to one of my parakeets (Yes I know there is a different forum for them but this seems more appropriate.) Im pretty sure his wing is broken and he's been bleeding pretty bad. His shaking and not moving very much. Ive given him just a little bit of hydrogen peroxide and some antibiotic...

I've been doing a lot of research on budgies in anticipation of possibly getting one. I've experience with conures, cockatoos and cockatiels, and I'm stuck on two issues. Where best to get one, as there are only larger pet stores in my area and no breeders nearby that I can find online, and...

Do YOU have a parakeet? If so, show him/her off here!

I live in Los Angeles Ca. I have never been told by the vet my bird's wings needed to be clipped. I put the bird outside on the patio table this morning, a while later we heard a crash, when we ran outside the cage was on the floor completely broken apart and turned upside down. No sign of the...

Okay so this is a little different than other posts on here. I have a parakeet that is egg bound. I know this site is for chickens but my problem isn't currently in the coop. I figured you guys would know about dealing with this stuff. She has been bound since yesterday but she has been able to...

Hey guys, yesterday my budgie, Teah, passed away. :hitI only had him for three months, but I feel like we were connected as though I'd had him longer. He was a very special bird to me. Unfortunately while I was gone from the house, my cat stuck his paw into the cage and pulled out Teah, and he...

I got a parakeet! I think he may be a male, but I'm not positive. He is 18 weeks old. I named him Teah! (Pronounced tay-uh)
