It is possible we could be taking in my friends two parakeets. Where do I start? I want to know how to care for them properly before possible owning them. Do you have any tips, tricks, must know things?
Parakeets, also called Budgerigars, are small members of the parrot family and they can become good mimics. The average adult size is 7 inches long, head to end of tail. The average life span is between 10 to 20 years with proper care. A well-balanced Parakeet diet consists of: Specialized pellets should make up 60-70% of diet, fresh vegetables and fruits and small amounts of fortified seeds Clean, fresh, filtered, chlorine-free water, changed daily. Do not feed birds: avocado, fruit seeds, chocolate, caffeine or alcohol; it can cause serious medical conditions. Avoid sugar and high fat treats. Things to remember when feeding your Parakeet: Fresh food and water should always be available. Vegetables and fruits not eaten within a few hours should be discarded. Remember, treats should not exceed 10% of total food intake. Housing Parakeets acclimate well to average household temperatures, not to exceed 80°F; be cautious of extreme temperature changes. The habitat should area that is w

Ive found a baby bird what seems to be weeks old that has falled from its nest i used gloves to return it to its home but the mom has abandoned it, what should i feed it while he learns to fly(aka soon)
The easies solution is either Recovery from Royal canin or a/d from hills, both are wet foods designed for cats and dogs but are suitable for baby birds as well, you can draw them into a syringe and feed this bird (many times a day!)

I have 2 parakeets and I have been feeding them seeds and millet. I believe that what I am currently feeding them is not nutritious. I am currently training them to eat fruit and vegetables and to be hand tamed. I would like to know what food can I b
Feed a commercial pelleted diet (Harrison's, Roudybush, Lafeber, Pretty Bird or Exact) supplemented with a small amount of a fortified seed mix, fresh greens and vegetables and cooked foods such as grains, beans and pastas. You can even offer a bit of scrambled eggs, shells included, occasionally.

I stumpled upon a dying bird chick.. seems like the near water type of bird..rushed to the nearest vet they said its dyhidrated and for some reason they didnt take it i want some pointers on how to save it if its actually possible
Thanks for reaching out about Randomy. Without knowing what type of bird and what is wrong, it is very difficult to give ideas. Is there a local wildlife rescue group to assist? Provide heat support in the 80-85 F range for comfort. Try offering water via a syringe and if takes well, a baby bird hand-rearing formula should be syringe fed for calories and nutrition. A feeding formula for parrots will suffice for now. Good luck.

I have three fish and two budgies, and also I have a kitten. I'm petrified that the kitten might eat the other pets but I can't bear to give away either of them. Is there a way to stop the kitten from eating the other pets?
Hi, thanks for using Boop by Petco! I would keep a lid on the fish tank and I would keep the birds in a separate room when you are not home. I would also keep the birds caged. You should be training the kitten to not jump on the bird cage and the fish tank. They make noise deterrents to scare a cat away from an area you do not want them to be. Be sure to provide plenty of outlets for Holly to play and be stimulated so she isn't bored and try to interact with the other animals. Good luck!
