Pet Forum / Birds / Birds / August 2008Rescued escaped Parakeet/Budgie
In New England. A female caught at bird feeder this morning. With an "06" band. We went to pet store and got a spacious cage and a 4 month old male. Bought ladder, perches, bell, cuttlebone, millet, swing, pacifier. She was very calm all day but now goes in spurts of frantically pacing cage and seems to want to get out of cage. While the male climbs the ladder she hasn't. Also, neither one has had a drop of water that I've seen. They like the millet and have nibbled on the parakeet seed. With my wife, there is "no way" they can be to fly outside the cage. I have experience with zebra's and canaries only.We have taken ad in local paper to try and find owner. Pending that any advice would be appreciated! I think if anything the bird is really stressed out. I realize the advice is a little late but I'll just mention it anyways. When bringing two birds together you want to start off by putting them in separate cages and having them gradually get to know the other one. The bird that you found could have just been a parakeet by itself so it might not understand what the other budgie is. I would suggest doing some research into what they eat, do, etc. That way your a little more prepared in looking after birds. They are allergic to certain things as well and have sensitive lungs and stomach. Although they are $19.99 at most stores they are very intelligent and should probably be treated just as good as any million dollar pet. |
