Pet Parakeet/Budgie Review

Wow! That's a tough question. Birds can very picky as to who they chose as friends (feathered or human!!). Sometimes, the bird will only be bonded to their human companion and reject feathered friends because they view the other birds as aliens. This is especially true in hand reared birds. But even if they don't seem to get along, I'm sure that she does enjoy the company when you are away. Female budgies, in my experience, don't seem to readily pick up language. But over time you will notice a few words here and there. Try hello and pretty bird. If you have mirror toys in the female budgie's cage, try removing them and replacing with a different toy. Sometimes they will fall for the "bird in the mirror" and not pay attention to the new friend you introduce. Also, female budgies are very territorial and may not like having an "intruder" in her cage. Try separate cages and let them out on a neutral area (like a play gym). She may take up with him then. Coli had a very special loving Momma.

Awww...your baby sounds like a sweetie! You are most welcome for the info. I didn't know about it until a few years ago myself. My Granny had a kitty that sounds like yours. I had a guinea pig and the cat would beg us to let her play with the guinea pig. She would clean the pig; snuggle with it and if the pig make a squeal, she'd make sure that we would come and take care of it's need. We had to get a bigger cage so that the cat could sleep with the pig!! EEP.... what a strange pair. Thanks again for taking time to read my post. Your kitty sounds like she has a marvelous 'mommy.' Pleasure to met you.

Please remember that bird's are prey animals and the cat is the predator. Even if the cat "only scratches" the bird or gets close enough to drool on it, the bird can die within 24 hours. The cat has bacteria in it's salvia and claws that is highly toxic to birds. In my humble opinion, cats and birds do not belong in the same household. Please consider this thoughtfully. Thanks for listening! :-)
