parakeets

Hello! I'm interested in learning a bit about budgie color genetics. I own(ed) 4 budgies. 2 are the parents and 2 are their offspring (R.I.P. Kira). I would love to learn what the different colors are all called and what genetics are behind them. I also have a question on how my blue and green...

Okay, I seriously want a parakeet, but some of my family (including myself) can a bit of bad mouth sometimes. What happens if it hears the F-word and goes around saying it all the time? Can you train it to not say it? Somebody would be liable to kill it after awhile. Sometimes, me and my...

Newish owner of budgies. I had a pair of two budgies, about 3 and 6 years old. Sadly the older one passed away. After a week we were able to get another budgie that’s about 10 weeks old, introduced them two days ago. They seem to get along great, always playing and flying. But the 3 year old...

I have some Serama chicks that im raising in my room (Rats in the garage so I can't raise them in there). But ive noticed that the parakeets I have in my room adore the babies. My male Parakeet loves to fly over to the brooder and just watch them. He chirps to them softly and occasionally will...

I got my blue budgie [Piper] about a week or so ago, and Piper seemed ready to warm up to me. Fella even perched on my finger a few times without being bribed. Excellent progress, I think. But there wasn't much chatter or over all activity, so I figured a new friend would help. (I'm told they...

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

Hey everyone, I have five budgies and really need to train them but I can't find anything online for "How to train five budgies who won't even come near you." One of them is about 5 months, two are about 3 months, and two are about 1 month. One of my one month year olds has recently had a leg...

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)

So, kind of a strange question. I recently acquired a rare breed of snake that only eats eggs and is a baby so he can only safely eat teeny tiny eggs. Smaller than the ones my button quail lays unfortunately. I have been searching high and low for unwanted finch or parakeet eggs to no avail and...
