If you meet a guy and you are both really interested in each other why would he wait two weeks to call you?

A lot times guys do that when they have loose ends to tie up. For example, maybe he was in a relationship that he knew he wanted to get out of, and was planning on getting out of when he met you. He could have been very interested in you and didn't want to let the opportunity pass him by, so he got your number, planning to call after he was no longer in a relationship. That's actually a very mature thing to do. There could have been other reasons, too. He could have been shy, misplaced your number, etc.

What does squawk mean?

"Squawked" is an onomatopoeia: It is a word that is spelled in the same way that it is heard, like "moo" or "peep". What the particular bird that is DOING the squawking means may vary.

What is a parakeet nesting box?

A parakeet nesting box is a box (most commonly made of wood, but also found in cardboard) that parakeet breeders use to replicate a tree cavity where parakeets naturally raise their young. Parakeet (or budgie) nesting boxes should be at least 6" wide x 7" deep x 7" tall (at least), though many breeders recommend wider boxes with the entry hole set off to one side so the parent birds don't crush the eggs when they enter. The entry hole prefered by parakeets in the wild is approximately 1.5" in diameter.

Parakeets can get noisy but if they have the right amount of attention and care, they shoud not be much of a bother.

Do poinsettias kill parakeets?

Poinsettias have been thought to be poisonous to animals for years, but there's been some recent research that shows they're not poisonous to birds. Poinsettia leaves can irritate stomach linings of animals, but in small doses it seems they won't cause any major problems. Apparently the berries are very toxic and, to be safe, keep your bird away from these.
