Bird Behavior

The parakeets may feel cramped or the parakeets in the same cage may be the same gender. If you have two of the same gender, there is a greater chance of fighting because they want to be dominant over the other bird.

All pet caged parrots and other birds should be covered at night time. Aviary birds do not need to be covered, except in cold weather. They should be uncovered during the day so they can be actively involved in the world around them.

Parakeets are a type of parrot. Parakeet refers to any species of small parrot with a long tapering tail. Some examples are budgerigars, conures, and ring-necked parakeets.
A parakeet is a smaller version of a parrot with long tail feathers.

well first you have to let the bird get use to the enviorment first then you have to cut the birds wings the way you do that is by putting the bird in a towel to calm the bird down then cut his wings of now the bird cant fly so you can leave it out the cage .you have to talk to the bird let it get use to you then youll be on your way on having a loving bird

First, your male parakeet will began coming closer to your female parakeet. Then, he will slowly put his foot on your female. When your male is on top of your female, the female's tail will go up, and the male's tail will go down. This is when their butts will touch. About 10 to 15 days later, your female will lay her first egg. She will lay one egg every other day until she has about 4 to 8 eggs. All this usually happens during early spring. And remember, DO NOT remove your breeding female, or male at any time!

No, not a LOT. Mine tend to sleep 12 hours at night and take about 2-4 short naps of 5-10 minutes during the day.

Doves and pigeons all coo, sound varies with each species.

Most birds fly below 500 feet except during migration. There is no reason to expend the energy to go higher -- and there may be dangers, such as exposure to higher winds or to the sharp vision of hawks. When migrating, however, birds often do climb to relatively great heights, possibly to avoid dehydration in the warmer air near the ground. Migrating birds in the Caribbean are mostly observed around 10,000 feet, although some are found half and some twice that high. Generally long-distance migrants seem to start out at about 5,000 feet and then progressively climb to around 20,000 feet. Just like jet aircraft, the optimum cruise altitude of migrants increases as their "fuel" is used up and their weight declines. Vultures sometimes rise over 10,000 feet in order to scan larger areas for food (and to watch the behavior of distant vultures for clues to the location of a feast). Perhaps the most impressive altitude record is that of a flock of Whooper Swans which was seen on radar arriving over Northern Ireland on migration and was visually identified by an airline pilot at 29,000 feet.

Like most birds... the parrot eats fruit. The seeds of the fruit are un-digestible, and they travel through the bird's digestive system, to be ejected when the bird defecates.

Is the bird male or female? If the bird is male, it is more a matter of disipline than likeableness. If the bird is female- think for a minute. Imagine many women, you unmarried and they too, and one male. Also, if the bird is between 2-3 1/2, then it is at a nippy stage. If it is new, it may be a bad habbit. Or stress. Or how you treat it. Just think about it. ( Similair experience with my Dad and the Girls in the family, a male and female Green Cheek Conuures)

Generally speaking, all birds bite. It is a natural instinct. Lacking hands, they use their beaks for exploring, locomotion and protection. When owning a pet parrot, it is important to understand that they will "bite" for many reasons, some of which are actually affectionate, in order to be prepared to avoid a potentially painful situation.

Generally speaking, smaller parrots (such as Cockatiels and parakeets) have a less painful bite and can be easily hand trained with consistent gentle handling and treats. If seeking a bird that "doesn't bite", passerines (canaries and finches) and columbiformes (pigeons and doves) do less damage when biting, and are less prone to that behavior.

You must have a hand reared bird because it sees you as its flock mate & like all flocking birds when one leaves they all leave. When you leave the room your bird wants to join you, it can't, so it starts to try to locate you using its personal call.

As a human you interpret its echo locating call as a screeching. In fact it a very subtle and unique to it call. All the time it can't see you, he will use this call expecting you to answer back. Its the human equivalent of "Where are you!".

I would suggest developing a call of your own. use it whenever it uses the "Where are you call" even if you are not in the room. It may pacify the bird to let it know you have not left the house and are just round the corner.

Wing flipping can mean or be done for a number of reasons.

Birds of all species use it to fluff the feathers up or to get them to lay just right.

It can be used to get attention or to emphasize a need. (Bird body language).

Flipping the wings can also mean the bird is in some kind of distress.

No a parakeet is definitely NOT a mammal. They belong in the bird species. They lay eggs and have feathers. Parakeets are birds and remember that.

It mostly eat fish.

Mockingbird chicks typically learn to fly about two weeks after they hatch. By this time, they have developed enough strength and coordination to leave the nest. After fledging, they continue to be dependent on their parents for food and protection for a short period as they refine their flying skills and learn to navigate their environment.

birds on the ground are in the preditors zone . so if given a choice no they wouldn't nest there. but if that's where it's at they might . but they will never feel safe there.

If you see a killdeer fake a broken wing and begin moving one direction, it means they have a nest nearby and they're trying to distract a predator--you--away from the nest in order to protect the eggs or chicks.

A duck needs a small or large backyard with a fence and a a pool , pond, or bathtub.

They eat cereal.

Yes. This can make them sick or even cause death if ingested.

I imagine anything that ingests an electronic device as big as they are will get sick. But since Riddex Plus is not a consumable product, I would suggest people do not answer when they are clueless about the product.

400 days

yes!
