Parakeets (Budgerigars)

No, you just need to buy or make a nesting box for them. A nesting box is some sort of covered box with enough space for the birds to move around in, it connects to the cage through a hole near the top, but it has to be big enough that the birds can get in. Also, to be able to check in once and a while without disturbing the occupant too much, make sure that the top can open up so that you can see in.

The one thing that is absolutely necessary though is nesting material (like strips of shredded paper).

they get very slow and dont won't to play much and always lay down

Let me guess at rephrasing the question: "Will a pet parakeet that has escaped its cage be able to survive in the wild, or will it die?" Is that what you mean? The answer to that depends on the climate where you live. Escaped parakeets have been able to establish breeding populations in the wild in warm places, like Florida, California, and Hawaii. There are even wild-living monk parakeets in New York. But if you live in a cold place, or a place where it gets cold in winter, well, ... A parakeet has no instinct to migrate when food becomes scarce. All parakeets eventually die. "In some places a parakeet will find no food or water even in the places listed above. the chances of getting a parakeet back that has flown away is a 1% chance by the way."

Yes your bird's tail feathers will grow back. They will begin to grow back when your bird begins molting.

All animals need water. Without water, all animals will die.

Parakeets need fresh water for drinking and bathing.

It is advised you change their drinking water at least twice a day.

Yes they are But to often

A very big box

It is perfectly safe to feed ducks crackers of any kind. However do not overindulge them or they will get used to them and refuse to eat foods from their regular diet. HEM.

Take him or her to a vet immediately. Do not use antibiotics for sale at pet stores; you have no way of knowing if the problem is caused by a respiratory or digestive infection, liver disease, or one of any number of avian diseases, each requiring different treatment. Take your bird to a vet! Until you get them their, keep them warm, possibly putting a light on the cage or a heating pad underneath half the cage. By keeping them warm their bodies can use calories to fight off disease rather than regulating body heat. Offer them millet, its easy to digest and be sure to put a shallow dish of water on the bottom of the cage in case they are not up to perching.

Best of Luck!

there was once a blue and yellow macaw that lived up to 104 macaws live longest.

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

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!

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 :).

The best option is to allow the mother to take care of the baby.If the mother will not take care of the baby parakeet then you will have to feed it using a dropper which you can get from petsmart and also get special food to feed the baby also from petsmart .Also be sure to keep it safe from dangerous stuff and only keep it in the nesting box.

Parrots eat many kinds of fruit, but parrots in general is too broad of a term. Parrots can be referring to the parrots of Africa or the Parrots of South America, or the parrots of Australia, or...so on. You'll have to be more specific to get a better answer, as there are different fruits in different areas of the world.

Sometimes, you can keep male and female parakeets (which are really budgies) in the same cage and they won't breed. Having them in a smaller cage indoors may stop them breeding, but there's no guarantee. Sometimes if the female is determined, she'll lay eggs in a corner without even having a nesting box.

A male budgie's beak, or rather, the cere above the beak, does not turn brown. A mature male budgie has a blue cere. If your budgie's cere has turned brown, you have a female that is ready to breed.

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.

Salt is generally bad for birds, it can cause dehydration and high blood pressure. Even small doses of salt can cause a lot of damage.

When they are about 4-5months old

its multi colored

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.

you can't really do anything about it. if the egg dies the egg dies. its just nature. unless you buy a brooder to keep the eggs in. but trust me just leave the eggs alone and let nature do the rest.

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.

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.
