how loud are Rosy bourkes?

Post by Tish » Thu Jun 21, 2018 12:59 am

I have 2 questions. My first question is how loud are 2 rosy bourkes compared to 2 budgies? My sister who is my neighbor can hear my budgies, but not my 6 society finches. Just wondering if the bourke parakeet are just as loud? My second question is what kind of bird seed and pellets do I feed a rosy bourke? I kinda hope it's budgies seed and pellets because I already buy that stuff, but I'am willing to buy what type they need.

Huge difference. Bourkes are very quiet. They will occasionally chatter for a minute or two but at a far lower volume.
Bourkes are also far less active, feeding mostly at dawn and dusk then just loafing around most of the day.
A budgie mix, small hook bill or cockatiel mix also works OK. Acceptance of extra veg. etc varies with some liking them and others never touching them.

MUCH MUCH MUCH MUCH quieter. Barely make any noise at all, and when they do is is very soft and quiet.
