A week ago I got my male green parakeet named Bashfull to pair it with my female parakeet or (budgie) Bliss. As soon as i put him in it wasloveat first sight for my Yellow parakeet, Bliss. They got along so great that they ended up following each other around. A couple days later i noticed some (Mating Rituals) gong on in the happiness of their cage. I've already noticed the regurgitating stage of which the male regurgitates or vomits in his partners mouth. Also I've noticed that Bashfull was showing off his head bobbing moves and trying to stand taller than the female but she didn't notice. But i think they will soon have a family and will be selling them to people worthy to have a pet parakeet and treat it with love and care, not cruelty and abuse.
It seems that my new parakeet Bashfull is so tame and my yellow parakeet Bliss is skittish but aggressive. Ever since i got her she was a pill. She would bite until you let go of her.(IF YOUR PARAKEET BITES YOU This IS WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:If it does bite you must flick it on the beak every time it bites you. If it bites you two times flick it two times, bites you 3 times, well you now what to do. This is an Affective way to punish or take control of your pet. Its not abuse. Sometimes you have to be mean to be loving and caring owner to your pet. The more a parakeet bites you and it finally knows you don't care or is not bothered with it it'llfinally quit. If you spend 3 hours a day with your pet(s) your be able to teach it tricks such as speak. Oh and by the way only male parakeets can speak.
If you are buying or looking for a parakeet and are interesting to have a certain gender of parakeet this show total the difference: Males have either Blue or purplish Ceres's and females range in variety of, White, tan or brown which might be a bit crispy. But really the only way to know for Sher is to have a blood test on your pet. It might seem unusual but males can lay eggs as well as females.
If you want to breed your parakeets it is essential to provide a nesting box, or make one yourself. if you are buying one it has to be big enough so that the chicks don't fall out. Also if you want to breed parakeets these are tips to remember: NEVER bring a dog or cat into the room, going in once will make the bird uncomfortable and less likely to breed. The seasons also effect there breeding. In fall and winter they are less likely to lay eggs, but they can breed anytime of the year as long as you provide a male and nesting box or nest of some kind.
Notes to remember:
1.Do not bring pets into or near the cage, cause this can cause them to feel unsafe and not breed.
2.if you add a male or female they wont always like each other.
3.Do NOT let them have more than one brood a year this is demanding on their bodies, its draining to produce eggs it takes up. It'll suck nutrients from the body and calcium from the bones to supply the egg whats needed.
4. If your keet is at the bottom of the cage for a long period it is probably Severely sick and have to take it to a avian vet right away. When you see this it means its severely sick. You can NOT tell when your parakeets becomes sick. This is so because in the wild they wont act like it at all. They wont leave their flock or if it was sick a predator would picked it up. Most of the time they show normal activity, then it will get worse and worse and finally they die.
5.If fed the same seed diet day after day might not be only boring but it will become malnourished or loss in nutrients. So make sure to provide greens. Do NOT give them Avocados, apple, cherry seeds, junk food. Even a little amount of toxin can kill them. You have to remember that parakeets have small bodies and even a small does will kill them. Chocolate and dairy re Bad too. Parakeets are lactose in tolerant and eat very little dairy.
6.If you are interested in buying your second parakeet and want to teach the first one to talk. I'll hold back for a couple months because the bird will lose focus and not concentrate with a friend in his new home. If this happens just move it to a new cage if you have one. After you taught him to talk, you can by the second one. Normally in the wild they fly and live in flocks of thousands, so they will love to have a friend or even mate!
