I think you should get a boy bird because you never know if it is pregnant or not.

A cere is the waxy part above the budgie's beak. It is where the bird's nostrils are. In males it is blue, while females have a pale cere except for when they're breeding - then it turns brown.

Crows are tyoe of birds who fly in packs but they don't always fly in straight lines.

no only if theyre very tired they really are lovely pets but be warned they are very noisy animals if your keeping them happy.i should know i have two:)at night you should put a towl over there cage so they wont make much noise.hope i helped!:D

They fluff up when nervous, scared or excited. Not being fluffed is probably a good thing. Means it is getting used to it's environment.

Darwin saw the varieties of finches on the islands and even though they originated from a few migrating birds, they had adapted to the harsh environment in various ways. This gave him the idea for natural selection.

It depends. Often, parrots will breed if there are two opposite gender parrots in the same cag. So if you want to raise chicks, it is okay. If you don't want to raise chicks, keep opposite sex parrots separate from each other.

this is my suggestion now i know a few things about animals and this can easily be fixed... if you want your budgie to stay on your finger will getting him out of his cage is to... 1. you can try to show food to him when he is i his cage then when he can see the food place it on/near you finger... he then goes for the food and you then award him. 2. if he goes on your finger but he doesn't stay try to award him with treats when he does land on your finger, doing this will give him an idea of how to get his favorite treats if he only does what you want.

There is an eagle on US currency, and holding on to it till the eagle grins is kind of like holding on to it forever, because the eagle is never going to grin.

I don't think that is true. It's like saying a blonde is dumb, but they aren't. But female budgies are more aggressive than males.

The girl budgie would attack the new boy budgie and not the old girl budgie because she is used to the other girl budgie and is not familiar to the new boy budgie.

Cokateils are a good choice to cage with parakeets, although almost any bird around the same general size is ok.

The bird will bleed.

You must always have a special powder(not sure what its called exactly)

skeptic powder i think

you must apply that where it is bleeding to help it stop

if your budgie keeps bleeding take him to an avian vet right away he could die of blood loss.

It is not unusual for a budgie (parakeet) to molt in the winter. You might want to watch out because usually they are cranky when they molt! (But they like having those itchy new feathers to be scratched)

All parrots are flock animals, and when they call out if you leave the room, what they are doing is called a contact call. To teach a bird that loud calling is unacceptable, you need to first of all, NEVER respond to inappropriate noises. Any time you react to loud noises, either verbally, or by coming back in the room immediately, you are teaching your bird that this loud call is a good way to get your attention. What you need to do is teach your bird that quieter alternatives will work. I have found the best contact call to teach parrots is a whistle. Immediately upon leaving the room, BEFORE your bird screams, whistle to him. Call out periodically with a whistle or other quieter, acceptable noise, while you are out of the room and he is not yelling. Praise your animal whenever he is being quiet. It can take months to fix this issue, but it can be done if you are persistent and consistent with your actions.

If they are set on having birds, zeb's, budgies, society finches, canaries and cockatiels each have as many plus and minus points, just different ones. Choice would depend on the age of the kids, how much space you have (aviaries or cages), how many you'd want, if the kids wanted to breed some, if they wanted something hand-tame, etc etc etc. Being realistic, especially for very young kids, pet mammals are probably better than birds, particularly if mum and dad aren't birdy-inclined themselves - mammals can escape but at least they can't fly. As horrific as it might sound to many people, tame rats are absolutely great pets for young kids - they are usually very friendly, never bite, and can be as good a friend to any kid as they'd ever want from a pet.

Because birds like to mimic each other or things(like humans) that is why parrots can talk.

I was given a very young ring dove who was supposedly kicked out of "home " by male parent becasue of being a male. He/she is an adult now less than a year, lives alone in my office. While I was searching for info on how to take care he/she ( now its name) in the net I played a rd mating coo and ever since he/she is obsessed with nest building and cooing for a mate. HE/she does not puff up or bow whem ccoin to his image in the mirror and sit in the nest flutering a bit and cooing. Male of Female? How do I aliviate the apparent anxiety other than a breeding mate. I read 2 females live happy without breeding: I can't tend to breeding habits year rround>. Appreciate answer and any help keeping the little thing happy. Concerned Ownwr

If your budgie's claw has been damaged to the point where it is purple or black, the claw is now dead tissue, and should be removed expertly by a vet. If it stays there, the whole foot could become infected. More damage could also occur as the bird has no sense of feeling in that claw, and anther knock or tear could extend further up the foot.
