I have a parakeet and when I take her out of her cage I watch her and she starts to move her beak like she is speaking but no sound comes out. What is she doing? I have two other cockatiels and they do the same thing. What does it mean, what are they doing?

When I first got my parakeet, she never bit hard. Now she's biting harder. Is that a good thing?

My parakeet never comes out of its cage. What do I do? Someone help? It always jumps down when I try to bring it out.

I want a parakeet for my Birthday so I'm going to set up a little book of parakeets information for my dad. Are parakeets mean or nice, do they bite, and do they chrip a lot? Please respond.

I just got my first parakeet about three days ago. She is hand trained and not really scared of people, but she is nervous in her new home. When ever i take her out of her cage, thunder, seems ok. After a few minutes she starts to whistle loudly. I think, its because she wants to go back into her cage and when i put her back she keeps doing it for another five minutes or so. Please help! i don't know what she is trying to say!

I had purchased a parakeet a couple week's back and she was loving and affectionate. She never bit me once, and always wanted to come out of her cage! in fact she would go into her seed dish and start pushing all the food out of it in order to get my attention to let her out! All of the sudden she does not seem to want to come out of cage, sits in the corner of the cage and attempts to bite me when I try to take her out! I do not understand what happened for her to do this!

I just got two parakeets together a couple days ago. The first day i got them, they were very happy. They let me hold them and let me put them on my shoulder, but now they won't let me take them out of their cage. What should I do?

they need some grit in their diet, in nature they eat small rocks to diegest basically what is going on is they are trying to get the food to diegest,s o buying grit from your local pet shop and putting it into another food dish will help

Parakeets are one of the best talking birds. They have tiny voices and speak very quickly. Talk to your bird and say phrases slowly. Maybe he'll learn and want to talk. My last one spoke and I gave him to a Spanish speaking family. He also learned to speak Spanish.

It's a self comforting behavior, like rocking, done to relax and enjoy. As long as there's no gagging/neck contorting, it's a good thing

From 15 yrs exp. caring for budgies, to me it seems like the bird is eating, like regurgitating from its crop. Sometimes they also do that when they're happy. It's a good sign, at any rate. They love you.
