An Exotic Visitor

Ron Rybs @Ronrybs (21503) • London, England 24 Jul 22

I have a very occasional visitor to the bird feeder, a Ring Necked Parakeet I think. Not native to the UK, but from India I believe, there are many flocks of these birds and you can frequently hear them noisily squawking in the...

Raimei @Raimei (30) • United States 14 Jul 11

Please post anything related to taming and/or training any type of bird here! I'm possibly getting a bird soon, and I know I'm not the only one who wants a few pointers.

What can your bird say/sing?

Raimei @Raimei (30) • United States 14 Jul 11

I'm possibly (hopefully) getting my first bird in a week or so (budgie!) and want to know what your parrot/budgie/tiel can say. Inspiration on what I should teach mine, I guess. :D

Last week we noticed one of our parakeets (the female) was sort of staggering around their cage and had trouble keeping her balance. It looked like she'd had a stoke or something. When I googled her symptoms, I read that a...

GPTSource @GPTSource (2) 17 Oct 07

I have a finger train male parakeet who likes to bite a lot. I recently purchased a female parakeet who seem quite timid but isn't finger trained. Would putting an untrained parakeet with a trained parakeet be a problem?

Will my birds ever talk?

mrsmommy @mrsmommy (42) • United States 3 Feb 07

I was just curious, I have two cockatiels and a parkeet. I hear that they don't usually speak if they whistle. I've heard they really won't speak if they have each other to whistle with. Is this true?

This is so sad about our little parakeet!

melanie652 @melanie652 (2524) • United States 27 Jan 07

She's laid 4 eggs and keeps nesting on them! I feel so sad for her because they're never going to hatch. She's the only parakeet we have - no little male bird buddy for her! She's a rescue that showed up at our house one day...
