They are not just a feathered kitten or puppy. Avian companions require special care and this is the category to find out all about that.

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.

What happens when male and female parakeets mate?

They need a nesting box on the side of the cage where they have privacy. If conditions aren't "just right", parakeets do not seem to breed in captivitiy. You may need to contact a professional or possibly even consult with a book on the subject. ----------- I've never had a problem breeding parakeets in captivity! You have not properly set the birds up for breeding OR they may not like each other! If they mutually groom each other and play together, then that is probably not the problem. To properly set up a pair of parakeets for breeding, you need two healthy birds and you need to be certain you have a male and female. They breed mostly in spring or early summer. The longer daylight hours and presence of lots of fresh foods (fruits, veggies, greeny leafy foods, bird-safe people foods) indicate to them that there will be sufficient food to feed their young. They also need a stable routine, being provided food and water at the same time every day, and a bit of privacy. Once they have been properly set up, introduce the nest box. The male will, after checking it out for a day or a few days, go inside and, if he approves, come out and let her go in. After that, they will mate. Visit Eliteparrotsclub.com for more information!

What does a mother duck feed the ducklings?

A wild mother duck thinks her ducklings should fend for themselves. They do follow her around, and she will show, by example, what to eat and how to collect it, but she will not gather food for the babies as a songbird would. A wild baby duck will eat small insects, snails and earthworms hidden in the grass, a lot of "greens" (grasses, weeds, etc.), and if they are at a pond, there are small water insect larvae right at the shoreline for them to shovel up and devour.

Why are parakeets good pets?

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 :).
