What happens if your parakeet is never let out of their cage?
If it gets out of its cage it will be flying and flapping its wings like a crazy bird. They are pretty hard to catch but never leave a parakeet in its cage for the rest of its life.
Give it some exercise :) your bird will be nice and healthy! :D
Parrots are mainly fruit and seed eating birds. The shape of a bird's beak tells you a lot about its diet. Hooked beaks and short, fat beaks are designed to be strong, to crack shells and husks. Long skinny beaks are for getting into small places and grabbing bugs or fish.
Are there such thing as white budgies?
Most certainly. Although the natural colour of budgies in their native Australian habitat is green, breeding through the years has produced a huge range of colours, including white. Unless the budgie is a true albino, the white is usually broken by black markings on the wings and/or back. The white may also be blended with other colours, such as green, blue, purple and yellow.

However with a bird safe room allot of Patience and training it is possible .good luck.

Yes they can have their own cages but make sure they dont beat up each other when they get out of the cages. But sometmes you might not want to do that, because then the parakeet might get mad and starting killing somebody. Maybe even kill you.

At its rear end. The cloaca (from the Latin for drain) combines the ends of the intestinal and urinary tracts.
