bird parakeet

Question #1:

Will my parakeet be lonely? Should i get another one?

I have one parakeet which i got 2 monthes ago. Im going to be starting school soon and everybody in my family works late and comes home late. The house is empty from early in the morning to around 6 at night. What should i do to help it be less lonely. Should i get a new bird? i kinda dont wanna get a new bird cause i have to get another cage to keep it in and that can get expensive. Thank you for your help.

Question #2:

what can i do when i let my birds out?

i get kind of bored when i let them out and i dont really know what to do with them because i think they get bored too

so what games can i play with them

they are afraid of things that they havent seen before *example* if they were to get a new toy they would be afraid of it but then they would try to play with it

and i have 2 parakeets


God Bless!

and by "let out" i mean take out of the cage... so dont tell me to get them new toys or something

Question #3:

I am going to get a bird next next sunday and i need advise because I am a beginner. I was thinking of getting one of these:
Pionus Parrot,a Parakeet, Peach face lovebird,a Canarie, or a green cheeked conure. im only 10. please help and what birds are easy to care for and rarely bites? And how do u clean a bird r u supposed to? O.o also how do u clean a bird cage and will it be ok if we leave it outside?

Question #4:

My pet birds preen each other... does that mean anything?

Question #5:

Question #6:

Can you train a 7 month old parakeet?

I bought a 7 month old budgie today from my local pet store. The owner claimed she is 7 months old and I was worried about being able to train her so late. As of right now if I move slowly she will let me put my hand in the cage and even come within inches of her if I move slowly. I love this bird and I am worried that I wont be able to have her climb the ladder ring the bell or perch on my finger. Also I got a little impatient and tried putting my hand in there a few times today. I think she might be scarred of me or too old to be trained. Anyone with experience have any advice?

Question #7:

I thought my parakeet was a girl...now im not sure.?

It has a white cere with blue tints, the tints are light not nearly as dark as the male bird blue beak. it used to have a brown one. *it is a blue parakeet if that matters* its pretty agressive towards the male bird. its always the first to eat. it yells alot at the other. it likes to bite on the things and espically climb the cage and little swings. Im hoping it was a girl for the other bird...is it?
@wings both the birds are a few months over the year
there was a article that said female birds are more agressive?
guys, please answer!
well it does have a dark blue coat with with gray feathers on the wing. the male is bright blue with white wings

Question #8:

What are my Budgies/Parakeets Gender?

Hello about 3 weeks ago i bought a green parakeet its nose/ cear is brown. Today I bought it a friend , a blue parakeet and its nose it a very very light blue and white. The lady said its a female and she said my other bird is a female but Since there cears are different colours I am afraid they are male and female and will mate. Which is male and which is female? also The older one keeps on pecking at the new one. I am really said because I think theyre fighting. They also peck at each other but it looks like theyre kissing. Someone help..

Question #9:

When I first got my bird her nose was pinkish-purple now it is all beat up?

My parakeet it is a girl right?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Question #10:

HELP! My parakeets got into a fight and one is hurt really bad!?

I need help! I noticed my parakeets fighting 3 days ago, so my dad’s been looking for another cage to separate them. They just had eggs recently, but I don’t think they were fertile because they ended up kicking them out of their home. But when they were sitting on the eggs, the little fights started. My boy wouldn’t let her leave the house for 3 days and when she finally got out, she refused to go back in the nest, so he ended up spending 12 days on the eggs, till he kick them out. They’ve been having little fights on and off since then but for the last 3 days things have been VERY violent between them. We were going to separate them tomorrow, but today when I came home from school I realized that my female bird was only resting on one leg (she’s back on it now) and when the boy turned his head his right eye is half way shut and there is dried and fresh blood all around it and down his beak. His feathers look slightly pulled, and my girl bird was scraping her beak on a wooden stick like she was sharpening it (maybe she’s getting the blood off her beak?). Now my boy is shaking his head up and down every time she gets near him and tries to put his beak near hers. I'm currently supervising them until my dad gets back with the cage. I have no idea what to do! He’s bleeding, hurt, shaking, bobbing his head up and down (it looks like she’s feeding him when they do this) and his blood is on her beak and she looks like she’s getting herself ready for battle again. We have no money for a vet right now. I don’t think Petco will take him back. So what now? Do I separate them and let him tough it out? I don’t think he’s going to make it. Is there a place that will take him? Any suggestions on how to care for this? Is there something I can give him? Median, certain food, items? PLEASE! I NEED HELP NOW!

Question #11:

parakeet antibiotics?

i was given antibiotics for my parakeets respiratory infection but he wont go near it. my first technique was dipping my finger into the liquid and leting the droplet fall of the tip of my finger into her mouth. this worked for the first day but shes getting very annoyed by that. she wont even go near the syringe. i read how to hold a parakeet down to give it a syringe but when i try she squirms so much and she becomes more stressed and her breathing gets worse.any other ways to give it to her? shes looking a little better today though.. some other questions

is it bad that my not sick bird loves the antibiotic water and wont stop drinking it?

how long does it usually take for it to kick in? (its called something starting with an o)

is it safe to give my bird vitamins at the same time as antibiotics?

Question #12:

where can i release a pet bird?

i have a blue parakeet that i need to give up to a pet organization because the bird i have is not a good pet for just anyone. i live in northern michigan and finding it hard to find places where i can release a bird to a local animal shelter. does anyone have any other ideas of possibilities??

Question #15:

My Parakeet won't eat any fruits or vegetables!?

Hi! I have 2 Parakeets. I have tried almost everything from feeding them them the greens just in a dish to putting seeds over them. My parakeets will just not eat any of there greens! I was reading the magazine Bird Talk (Sept. 2010) when I looked at the "Ways to drive your avian vet crazy Part 1" part and I came to number 2 when it said feeding your bird a seed-only diet. I want my birds to stay healthy so I need and answer fast!
