URGENTWhat to do if your parakeet hits a wall?

Just Relax!

Ok if it has hit the wall firstly see if it can get up.

If it can look into his eyes and see if they are dazed at all.

If he cant get up or isn't moving. Then feel his chest and c if he is breathing. If he is he is most likely gotton knocked out. ZGive him five minutes and fan him with your hands if he hasn't 'come to' within 9 or ten minutes then I would greatly suggest take him to the vet.

If his eyes are dazed or he looks wobbly on his feet then just give him some space and he may be alright. If not then take him to the Vet.

GOOD LUCK!

p.s My budgie has done this and she looked really dazed from hitting the wall and falling behind the couch. She took a few minutes to be steady again but she was alright. Birds are usually strong in there own way. Just remember to stay calm and relax.

I recently purchsed a parakeet and believe it is a female Is it okay to just have one or should I get another one to keep company The parakeet appears to be happy and chirps constantly?

it is a female if, the area around the nostrils is browny. if blue, a boy. if it is female do not get another female. they are very dominant and it stresses them out. boys and girls will not mate unless in the right conditions with a nesting box. its best to get a girl and boy. although, its fine to have one budgie, as long as you have a mirrior and talk to it. sources: 2 budgies. Parakeets are also less likely to bound with you if you have two, if you have enough time to spend with it, I suggest only one. If you're busy all the time and can rarely take them out I'd maybe get two. And don't forget to clip their wings because my friend had two and one flew into the window and broke it's neck, then the other one was REALLY depressed and she had to get one named Mike who has huge eyes and a little body.

Puffed up parakeet is sitting on the bottom of the cage. What's wrong?

seems the bird is sick, is he in a draft? does he have food and water? Be sure to keep extra warm and use a heat lamp if you have one. also give a drop or two of orange juice, this will raise his metabulism. hope this works be sure to cover cage.

What is the perfect diet for newborn parakeets?

We just had baby cockatiels. We fed the parents scrambled egg with 1/2 of the shell chopped up in it (with a blender). This was for extra calcium. The parents love rice and pasta so I blendered this with fresh broccoli to try to get them to eat extra veggies. It was really interesting that mom & dad wolfed down the egg and veggie mix when the babies were little but quit eating it when the babies started to eat on their own. They seem to know what is best for the little ones.

What is the cloaca of a parakeet?

The opening at the bottom of the bird where eggs and bathroom comes out.

Can you show a parakeet from a pet store like Petco and show it in a Parakeet Bird Show?

I'm sorry but no, birds from petco and other large chain pet stores are almost always inbred and are always American style budgies. If you buy from a breeder you may be able to find an English budgie. English budgies conform to the show standard below.

Unless your budgie looks like that your budgie cannot enter a competition. Hope this helps!

No, budgies do not sing. They chatter a lot, mimic other sounds, and whistle, but they are not songbirds and thus do not sing.

Why does my parakeet always jump in its water?

It's taking a bath! Parakeets love to splash and play in the water to clean and cool themselves. It's a good idea to have two water sources in the cage so the parakeet doesn't have to drink the same water it's bathing in. Just make sure the water isn't too deep or the parakeet could drowned.

Yes, but they should be viewed as treats and only fed occasionally. Also, make sure they are not salted and preservative free.
