So I’m planning to buy two parakeets some time. I’m also planning on building an aviary for them. I know what materials I need, except for the size of the wire mesh. Is 1/2″ safe? Or do I have to buy 1/4″? I’d also like to know a little about new parakeets.
1. I’d like to know how long I should wait to let them fly around?
2. How long until I can hold them?
3. Should I take them to the vet for a check up soon after I buy them?
4. How can I train them to hop onto my finger inside the cage to take them out?
5. Should I get a cuttlefish bone or a mineral block?
6. If I get a male and a female is it safe to assume I’ll need a nesting box?
7. Should I repeat their names to them often?
8. Should I keep my cats in a separate room even when the birds are in their cage?
