parakeets
Posted: Tue Sep 20, 2016 10:42 pm
Since I'd had a lot of problems with my finches I decided to go for parakeets on my 2nd double flight cage instead of more finches.
I got 6 parakeets so they could be a flock.
I've had parakeets in the past and they all got along reasonablely well.
I got them from Petco and was happy that they took good care of them, clean cage, large, and they were not really afraid of human beings like other parakeets I'd seen.
They were happy I got the gray/green one because he was older than the rest and no one had ever chosen him.
Tho its been 2 months, he is still the only one that has his flight feathers.
How long does it take clipped feathers to regrow?
The others don't seem to like him much. Often they force him off his perch. And sometimes they all gain up on him and chase him from one end of cage to the other's. Fortunately he can fly and they can't yet.
Am I endangering him by leaving him in this situation?
See pictures of new parakeets below.
The cage in picture was just a temporary cage until the double flight cage got put together. They actually increased their chasing him After moving into larger cage.
None r really bonding with each other. The yellow snd dark blue seem to be starting to bond.
The gray/green is male but not sure about rest.
In the travel cage he's the one in the far Left/Bottom.
They all do enjoy playing with their toys and are very talkative to each other and to outside birds or noises.
