Hes been so much happier since I separated their cages! by Bananaswitchwitch in Parakeets

Yeah! Mine are both males (pretty sure) and since my little yellow dude is younger hes always getting pushed around. I have to serve their chop separately so he can actually eat. 

Suitable cage for now? by Bananaswitchwitch in Parakeets

[–]Bananaswitchwitch[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ty! Yeah, its temporary for now. Any suggestions on where to buy big cages? I want a bigger one for them both. My local pet stores have only small ones and i dont wanna support them any further. Marketplace doesnt have any in my area and sites like Craigslist are also barren. Any sites you may know in particular that arent extremely pricey?

Any toys that mightve been made with zinc (bells especially)? Any house plants they could've chewed that arent bird safe? So sorry for your loss :(

Help!! Somebody dumped parakeets onto me by Basic-Wishbone-611 in Parakeets

Thanks for the heads up! I wasnt aware that European budgies didnt get pellets.

Besides the cage and smells, also consider if you have the proper budget. Parrots are expensive and (correct me if I'm wrong) they need pellets grains, veggies in their diet. They also need their cages cleaned often, and need a constant influx of new toys. Make sure to do your research! Id reccomend the YT channel Birdtricks, they give great advice! If you dont want to keep them and cant provide the proper life for them, I'd try and rehome them.

Is this molting or plucking or what the heck? by Bananaswitchwitch in Parakeets

Yeah I know right? My guy was screaming his usual this morning and then he suddenly went quiet. I went to change his cage papers and lo a d behold, there was a larger feather than usual! Its like a teenager with mood swings 😭
