Bird Behavior

when the female parakeet drop her egg, one of 2 things may happen: 1. it may hatch prematurely 2. it will break and kill what ever is inside; most commonly a female parakeet

The sientific word for a budgie is Budgerigar

18-21 days

The age you can tell when a budgie is a girl or boy is 6 to 5 months. In that timing the cere (the skin above the beak) will be a purple or pinkish colour. Then if a boy the cere will be blue, if a girl it will be beige or slight pink.

ok well i have two and one of mine is blue (Barry)and the other is yellow and green(Bertie)you can also get them in all yellow, all white and kind of greyish white.hope i helped!I LOVE MY BUDGIES!:D Answer 31/05/2009 Budgerigars are found both in captivity and in the Australian wild. Those in captivity fall into basically 2 sets of colours: blue, grey and white (i.e. white based) and green, yellow and grey/green (i.e. yello based). There are some 30-32 mutations of a primary nature which means that there is the possibility of hundreds of secondary mutations with attendent variations of colour.

Yes, a budgie is an excellent pet! Budgies are funny, lively, loud pets that liven up the home and are very smart! But if you are scared to get a few bites (but if you take good care of them they won't bite! *). And research a lot about budgies because they are a handful to handle! But overall, budgies are very fun! (I know this because I had two budgies :))

*When the budgie first gets on your hand, it will bite you softly to see if you can be trusted. If this does happen, it's a good thing and remember, do not make any sounds of pain or flinch and let it fly because if you do, then it will lose trust from you. But don't show too much happiness as they might think you like it and then start biting you more :).

depends... dogs and birds can live together if you bring the dog up with the bird from a puppy, then they should be fine. if the dog is an adult and you bring a bird into the family, then there could be problems.

Parrots have bright colours, orange, red, blue, green and even some pink. Male parrots sometimes have a ring around their necks. Some parrots can have darker feathers and some have a little brown on them.

One way to have birds to stop pooping there is to make sure to remove all bird feeders in your area. You also don't want to put a lot of trees in the area of your verandah.

Most parrots will only mimic sounds, w/o any particular understanding of what they mean.

But parrots are quite intelligent, and (some) can - with considerable effort - be taught to interact in a rational manner.

Recent study conducted from the 1980s and onwards indicates that parrots can indeed speak and understand some human speech, in rare cases on approximately the level of a 3 year old human. Irene Pepperberg's work with Alex (an African Grey) and later with Griffin show they were able to form complex responses, and relate words to objects, numbers and verbs. Check the references below for more detail on this rather remarkable study.

they may groom each other, or "kiss" each other. ("kissing" is actually just regurgitating seeds and putting it into the other's beak) But this does not only happen between males and females. This can happen with a male and a male, or a female and a female.

A parrot can be tamed with lots of love, attention, a soothing voice, and lots of repetition of words and phrases you'd like the parrot to learn. The younger the parrot, the easier it is to tame. But with patience, an older one will come around as well. A parrot is a pet that NEEDS a great deal of attention. If you don't have the desire to spend lots of time with the parrot, perhaps another pet should be chosen. Parrots who are just put in a cage and given insufficient attention will develop neurotic behaviors. Screeching. Feather plucking. Biting. Aggressiveness. With a roomy cage, daily interaction with it's human family, a nutritious diet, fresh air & sunshine, and plenty of opportunities to be out of the cage for exercise, a parrot can be tamed.

The budgie male will try and hop on the females back.

Sure. The male of any species doesn't lay eggs. but girls???

eagles are bigger than humming birds

If its bright purple, its most likely a male. However if it is a light purple, it may be a female. Although keep in mind that if your keet is under a year old, then its hard to tell. It may very well be male or female... in which case only time will tell.

Dangerous for the bird. The parents will usually recognize the bird as a stranger and remove it. They may also detect your scent and reject the chick for that reason. Call animal control in your area (may be the police or sheriffs) and ask them if they know the number of the local organization that volunteers for bird rescue. Your veternarian will have this information also. Call them and they'll tell you exactly what to do.

In order to answer this question properly one needs to know more specifics about the particular bird. In a young bird, perhaps disease brought home from a pet shop could be a culprit. If the bird is a bit older it could be related to diet. Parakeets fed only seeds develop are susceptible to developing tumors and those often are the cause of death in a bird around the age of two. Perhaps the use of non-stick pots and pans in the kitchen, candles, cleaning agents, sprays could all be suspect. A gas leak of some kind possibly.

Birds seldom die suddenly, in the wild a sick bird will be targeted by predators or by the flock, so birds will hide signs of illness until it is to late.

Budgies living in captivity may reproduce at any time of the year, if they are living in the same cage. Make sure to place a nesting box inside the cage, and DO NOT touch the eggs once they are laid. Parakeet eggs have a waxy coat on the shells which protects the chick from parasites.

Yes, like all birds, orioles lay eggs. Orioles lay on average two or three eggs per clutch, but have been known to lay as many as six.

Well, It depends on how scared it is. If it's really scared, It can have a heart attack. It can also have an heart attack by loud noise. Parakeets can die as a result of a heart attack. So technically, Yes, It can die of being scared. So don't be to harsh on it if it's scared of you or anything else. Good Luck, Ta'Niya Hayes.

It doesn't love you. It like the fact that you feed it.

This is also true if you used "bird" to mean "woman."

i have cut my budgies wings a little bit to far, but it still grew, but very slowly.

I have, 2 parrots,6 lovebirds, 8 budgies, and 1 conure baby birds.

Parakeets are birds. They do not get pregnant, as reproduction is done through the laying of eggs. The eggs take about three weeks to form properly in the body, but this is not called "pregnancy". They look the same when they are laying eggs as when they aren't. In other words, birds don't "hold" their eggs inside their bodies and show a big belly to indicate that eggs are on the way. The egg shell is the last thing that develops right before the egg is laid, therefore, a hen doesn't "show" in the sense that human women "show" when they are pregnant.

Birds which are getting close to laying an egg become more lively, excitable and playful, and they may be more aggressive and territorial. If they have a nesting box, they will spend a lot more time in the box, preparing it for nesting, and possibly being very protective of that area. If there is a male, he may start feeding the female.
