I am going to visit family for a week and I have to take my bird with me. I saw online that it helps to get him used to the cage for awhile before trying to travel with him. I didn't know I should do that until now. It's only an hour away but I want
Hello. If you can fit the original cage in your car, that would be best. You have a relatively short trip, so I do not think this will be overly stressful for him. Remove the food & water, make sure the cage is well anchored in case you have to hit the breaks & cover the cage with a light sheet. At your destination, place the cage in the quietest room possible & try to keep curious family members from attempting to engage your bird. Try to keep to your normal schedule with Sunny as much as possible & everyone should do great. Have a good visit & thanks for using Boop by Petco.

Hi. I was wondering about how much would it cost to pay for all the fees and quarantine to bring a parakeet to Australia? Thank you.
You would need to contact local clinics for advice on prices and the Australian embassy for confirmation of current import restrictions. The Boop by Petco team is an international network of pet health experts and we do not have access to local pricing

I had a pair of zebra finches in a closed cage. I had it for 4 days. The birds are in my terrace. All night I close the cage with a bedsheet. The 5th day morning when I removed the bedsheet only one Finch was there. The cage was fully closed. But the
I am sorry for your loss. Cats, opossum, & raccoons are all very adept at hooking & pulling a small bird thru the cage bars. You must protect your birds with a strong enclosure. Perhaps you can build a box using strong lumbar & wire cloth. Otherwise, bring your cages in at night to protect your precious birds. Thank you for using Boop by Petco.

Hi! I have two parakeets and for one of them, there cere, I think it's called, turned brown, and the other one's has some browness at the edges, a little blue and yellow in the middle going up. Is that normal? Also, I've had them for 3 months and th
Both your birds look pretty young still! Cere color changes are normal as parakeets reach sexual maturity. Females will typically get a pinkish or brownish cere when they are ready to breed, while makes will often get a deep bluish cere. Younger birds can have a mix of colors that will deepen/change as they become mature. As for taming, if you find they have a favorite treat, such as a piece of fruit or spray of millet seed, etc, you can use this to help them get used to you. Every time you approach their cage, you can offer a bit of treat until they are comfortable having you around. From there, you can move onto offering the treat to be taken from your hand, and then work up to petting or even handling them, each time offering a treat. If they become too nervous or upset, simply go back to the previous step they were comfortable with and try again from there.

My parakeet has picked under and around to the back of her wing until it is bleeding and she just keeps picking at it. We have no vet around here that knows any thing about any birds. Is there anything I can do or any medicine I can put on it to hel
If the skin is broken and bleeding, Lemon Drop is at risk for infection. Even if you have no local avian veterinarian, a small animal vet should be able to treat her. A specialist can be consulted online or by phone. The antibiotics and medications used are similar, just the dose is much smaller. A small e-collar (cone) may need to be fashioned to prevent her from plucking. In the meantime, lean and sanitize the cage, bowls, toys and perches. Discard anything that cannot be sanitized. Use paper towels on the cage bottom and change them daily to keep the cage clean. Provide a variety of toys and treats to keep her distracted from picking. Bathe or mist her with warm water a few times a week to promote preening and healthy skin and plumage.
