Can a parakeet carry the bird flu?
Yes, parakeets, like other birds, can potentially carry the bird flu virus (avian influenza). However, the risk of domestic parakeets contracting and spreading the virus is generally low compared to wild birds, which are more commonly associated with outbreaks. It's important to maintain good hygiene and biosecurity practices to minimize any risk of transmission. If there are concerns about bird flu in your area, consult a veterinarian for guidance.
How are parakeets harvested from the wild?
They are not harvested or captured from the wild any longer. They are bred from eggs in captivity from birds that were also born in captivity. Parakeets are native to Australia. In Australia, it is highly illegal to capture a wild animal unless it is for veterinary/treatment purposes or if you have a licence to practice zoology. Attempting to harvest wild parakeets from their habitat (Australia) or attempting to smuggle them out the country or attempting to sell wild parakeets can earn you up to eight years in an Australian jail and a very large fine. Australia is extremely strict about protecting its ecosystem, because it is one-of-a-kind and extremely unique. (The Australian navy for example has shot at dozens of ships in their waters attempting to smuggle animals out - other countries usually do not go that far to protect their animals). Before the protection laws came put, parakeets were usually lured with the classic food-in-a-cage-with-an-automatic-closing-door booby trap. Or caught with nets. Both of these methods can actually damage their wings or legs. Nowadays, parakeets have learnt the tricks of humans and actually avoid traps. They are extremely intelligent animals and have shown us humans that they learn fast and pass on their knowledge to their young.
