All about English Budgies - English Budgie Questions

Question #1:

what should I do about my birds?

ok, I have a yellow one that's pretty nice. When I moved out of my parents house, I got a baby parakeet so my other wouldn't be lonely when I took him away from our other parakeets. The new one was mean though, so I put them in sperate cages. The green one loves his toys but the yellow one seems bored. I heard they would get along with females, so I bought a little yellow female and a white one that I liked, but I think it's male. They yellow one gets along with the new ones but the green one doesn't. The littel female didn't seem very healthy, so I took her back to petco. They've been treating her and she's getting her finaly check up today, then I should be able to get her back. While she's been gone, the white one was stressing my yellow one, so I put it with the green. The white actually holds his own with the green, but seems a little annoyed. But what I HATE is that whenever I go near the cages, the white one freaks out and squaks like I'm killing it! It used to let me pick it up, but it was in a scared and compliant way, like his feahters were tight, not relaxed. I'm hoping he'll chill when I bring the girl back, but if not, should I return him? My friend's recommending an english budgie because they are nicer, but I'm not sure how to handle the ones I got!

Parakeet information needed(: thank you?

Hi! Im Kiera and my beautiful English Budgie died a year ago today. I decided i want another bird, i'd want a blue parakeet. any information would be lovely. only want one. thanks<3

Question #5:

can a budgie have the ability to learn as well as an African Grey?

I seen Video's on YouTube, and from what I can see, Grey's are really smart! I was wondering... can a budgie get this far with its ability to speak the English language? like for instance, Einstein, Griffin, or Alex.. all VERY famous african Grey's.

Question #6:

is there such thing as an english budgie?

i live in england by the way, i was looking at some videos of budgies on youtube and they all say "english budgies" and there arent any wild one here or anythin, arent they all just budgerigars? im confused :/

Question #7:

How to write a descriptive essay?

I need to write a descriptive essay for English and it has to be about the Australian Identity, and I want it to be about how Australians love animals. My plan was to have a kid walk home from school and find a cat and then later on hear a crash on the window and it is a bird. He looks after the budgie and nurses it back to health and he keeps the cat because he finds out it is a stray. But how do I make this a descriptive essay instead of a narrative (which we are NOT allowed to do)

This is just a rough outline of my writing. :)
The descriptive writing needs to have some sort of movement, something has to happen. (but it is not a narrative)
I am going to take out the bird and just have the cat.

Question #8:

Budgie question, please help! ?

So I have a budgie, he is kinda old , around 3 or 4 years. When we bought him , he was very friendly , he sat on my brothers' hand and everything . But then my brother moved to another room in the first floor , and the budgie stayed in our floor. I cleaned his cage but I barely talked and communicated with him , so that was my mistake .. he started to freak out if I move my arm very close to his cage , and if I open the door he won't even try to fly out . Now I try to talk with him and stuff , so he will be friendly again . Do you think I can do this ? Or he will stay like this ? Sorry for my bad English .

Question #9:

cockatiel or parakeet?

i've been thinking of asking my parents for a bird for my birthday (which is in december XD but i usually get something i use the first day then ignore it from then on) and im wondering which i should get. an english budgie or a cockatiel. ive had 5 parakeets in the past and none of them were tame whatsoever. ive only had one cockatiel which was also mean and tried to bite me. i saw a place called Omar's Exotic Birds in Brea, CA that have 1 handfed english budgie available. i want my parakeet to be very tame and nice =) but there's one problem: i have a dog =/ shes a mix and she was a rescue we adopted her from my dad's coworker's friend who couldnt keep her due to her apartment policy of no pets allowed. shes very calm and shes the size of maybe a maltese. sometimes we let her in the backyard where we'll be keeping my bird. but it'll be high up where she can't reach it. i will clip its wings (not me, a proffesional) and when i want to hold my bird, do i put my dog in the backyard and hold my bird in the garage or vice versa? im really hoping that won't be a problem.....so which bird should i get a parakeet or a cockatiel? im sorry i can only get one bird not a pair =(
i dont care about 'looks' i care about personality =/

Question #11:

How do I get my mom to get a bird?

We have two dogs, a fish, and a snake. The thing is, The snake is my SISTERS and she currently lives in COLORADO without bringing it. I don't want it, and neither does my mom! I'd much rather have a bird. The only thing my mom doesn't like about it is that it squawks, but I know that with training it will stop. What should I say? (I want an english budgie just so you know)

second one like to get out of the cage but the bird does not talk alot
and also they are both hand train budgie

Question #13:

Can an English budgie and a Australian parakeet have babies?

Ok so my sis has the budgie (bubbles) and a Australian parakeet Pettah. We put them together and they started to tweet to each other but the male was a little bit scared of the female. So I took them apart and now there tweeting to each other from other sides of the house. First of all idk if this is normal and second of all could they have babies thanks

Question #14:

What type of bird should I get? Cockatiel or budgie/something in between?

Ok, so I have a nice cage, big enough for a cockatiel in my room and I had a nice tame Rare Parakeet/Budgie and he somehow got a cold and died a few weeks ago and i want another bird. I was think of a Cockateil but they are said to wake up at 5:00AM and scream really loud(mostly males r loudest and more chattery) and bite hard I will not buy another bird from a pet store (petsmart, petco) so i will find a breeder. So my money limit is probably about 60 with I don't want it to be so high. And nothing bigger then a Cockatiel. I'm thinking about an English budgie. (I only want male birds no females. Not my type of personalaty) they are about only an inch bigger then a reg parakeet(budgie). Do they act different? Do they eat different? What are all the difference from them? I know how to tell a male parakeet from a female(by the beak). Is it the same with an english budgie? I've look all over online for one less then 2 hours from us. Atlanta ga near gainsville. Does anyone know where I can find one? They don't even sale them at a petstore.. I want the bigger type.

Thanks!!

Question #15:

Poll: Why do pets have a shorter lifespan?

I notice that pets age more faster than human. Today my English Budgie, Potter, passed away from old age. :(

Question #16:

Need help with my budgie!?

Okay so, I have a male budgie called Arthur, and he is about 6 months old and he was tamed when i bought him. And he talks to me all the time , for example he still doesn't like me sticking my hand in the cage and when i do do it, he bites me, but once he is on my finger, hes okay with me, and he started getting really lonely and started intentionaly plucking his feathers out because he was depressed, so I clipped on some fake birds onto the side of his cage, and put some mirrored toys around his cage so he would feel like he is with another bird, but I feel bad and i want to buy him another male hand tamed or not budgie. And I want to know if he will continue to talk to me and enjoy being on my shoulder... I do know this though, he will be happier with another budgie, but i really want to know if he will stop talking in english to me, and if he will just stop coming to me in general, and if he will just talk in his budgie language to his budgie friend. Thanks! 5 starts for best answer, not matter what. :P
