Does a parakeet get scared if it is about to die?
Most parakeets know when they are about to die. They will either accept their death, or they will be freaked out.
yes, but I'm not sure if this affects the parakeet's health or not.
No, they are birds. Mammals have hair or fur, an internal skeleton, breathe air and give live birth.
Yes, they are not like ours though. Parakeet eyelids are hidden in their heads (sorta) They are very thick so the light doen't get through as well. But if you keep a light on all night near the bird, it won't be able to sleep.
How long does it take until your parakeet trusts you?
Well about a few weeks or two. I had experince with a parakeet and she did'nt not like being at my house cause she did'nt get used to it. She got use to me about 2 weeks later so then that means she got used to the house. Oh and if you want him or she to mate with another parakeet make sure you cover the eggs. My parakeet always does that!. Anymore questions I'll be here
Do bulemics throw up every meal?
It actually depends. I was a bulimic, and I wouldn't eat breakfast or lunch, then I'd eat dinner then throw it up. Or if I'd eat breakfast or lunch, and it was big, I'd throw it up.
Can being around parakeets cause asthma or allergies?
If you are moderately allergic to dander, sometimes parakeet dander in your lungs may cause allergies.
Usually it is because they are cold but if they are puffy and inactive for a period of time they may be ill and need treatment.
How do you catch a wild parakeet?
In a trap or net.
Bear in mind that unless you are an employee of your national environmental or animal agency, such as vets or animal rescue, (which since you asked this question, I doubt), it is illegal to catch wild parakeets.
Wild parakeets cannot be tamed. They will also become aggressive, leading to injury to themselves and humans. They will also become depressed in captive situations, leading them to pluck their own feathers out and die early.

3 clutches parakeet eggs never hatch why?
There are many factors that can result in eggs not hatching. Just to name a few...
The eggs may be infertile, the parents may be too young and inexperienced and may not know how to incubate. They may need more practice. The parents are being bothered while in the nest. The parents are being distracted. The chicks are dying in the shell, the chicks may be too weak to develop completely due to inbreeding or unhealthy parents... there are soooo many reasons why the eggs are not hatching.... more info is needed to determine the reason to the problem.
How do you know when a pet parakeet is going to bite you?
When your parakeet is about to bite you he will probably open his mouth and lean toward you. He will be agitated or scared (and in a bad mood ).
How do you introduce a parakeet to another parakeet?
You don't introduce a Parakeet to another Parakeet. They get to know each other on their own, They might make a flock and start grooming if they start fighting and draw blood have a extra cage to separate them.

When should you remove parakeets unfertilized eggs?
whenever you want, make sure its unfertile though
Can parakeets eat grasshoppers?
Parakeets can eat insects if they desire to, however they don't eat them often. In the wild, insects only make up 5% of a parakeet's diet.
You can try introducing grasshopper to your parakeet, but the chances are he or she will ignore it. Or kill it and leave it at the bottom of the cage if it is live and being an annoyance.
There are great articles available online which give some useful advice about bird food and treats.

Budgie have no teeth at all. If your budgie opened its mouth, you will see that he has a sharp beak, but no teeth :)
Why do parakeets need a breed box to hatch their eggs and what is a breed box?
Parakeets, like most other domestic Birds, like to have a place that is most like a nest. A Breed Box is a special box made out of wood or some other material. In some Breed Boxes, there may or may not be a shallow dip in it, so the mother bird thinks her 'nest' is, well, more like a nest like in the wild.If you provide a nest box, it will Encourage a pair of birds to mate, and if the the female does in fact lay eggs, then she would most likely lay them in the most nest-like spot she can find in her cage.Sometimes birds will not mate or lay eggs because they do not have a Breed Box. I know this from past experiances with my own pairs of birds. I hope my info helped you =D
