I have 2 parakeets and I would like just alittle info…?

I bought them about a month apart from different stores. We are pretty sure one is male and the other female…which is what we want. The yellow one has a light colored nose and the green one has a purple nose. I have a nesting box which neither seem to use while we are home….however, the grass which is in the box, has been brought outside of the box, which i found yesterday when i cleaned the tray…so they must be “using it.” I dont know their ages, but when do they begin to “court” or mate and what are the signs of courting? They have access to the room, for we leave the door open so they get flying exercise everyday. I had purchased another bird but he fought with the female, so we took him back and got this green one. They seem to “love” each other. They groom and sing and follow each other during exercise time. Any links that would help would be great…Thanks
Edit; They dont seem to use the box at all. The cage is a double size which seems to be fine. I dont see any signs that they are trying to mate. I’m not even sure it they are m/f. What kind of foods other than seeds can you feed them? thx for all your help.

I have two little Parakeets and I need info.?

I have two sweet birds. problem is I work all the time and hardly have time for them. I feed them every night, clean cage, fresh water, food, the works! Should i make time to spend with them so they will be more friendly when someone trys to hold them or are they just fine together?

I have two African Grey Parrots that starting to mate again?

I need information on the measurements for a nesting box. They have bred before and usually lay 3 eggs each time. I just inherited these great birds. Any info would be great, food desires and toy info would help as well. I want to keep them happy
I do know how to take care of Birds I just haven’t experienced Greys beore. I know the breeding process and how to handle and hand feed babies. I just needed specifics. I wnat them to be happy. IF making babies makes them happy then so be it.

I just found a bird who seems to have a broken wing, i need advice on what to do.?

I tried calling a vet but it’s too late in the nite to get any info. – should i feed it? what should i do?

What should you feed, how many times a day, and whats required in taking care of a parrot? Any info please.?

My husband was given two green parrots with yellow on the head and some red on the top of the wings and red and blues on the bottom of the feathers. The one parrot died the second day – the other is doing okay and we are trying to find another to keep it company. All helpful knowledge and suggestions are appreciated. I’ve never owned a bird before. I told my husband to build on our open 9ft by 9ft patio a roof and put screening for them. I feel birds should be free but it was my husbands present and all I can do is to make them as happy as possible. In the short time with the parrot (Jose) I’ve enjoyed him and gotten close to him but they’re alot of work and time consuming – feeding and cleaning – just like a baby.

What size / shape nesting box is suitable for Lovebirds?

I have a few books and surfed the net for info on nesting boxes suitable for Lovebirds in general and only found vague dimensions. I have not bred Lovebirds before, but have kept them and my family has been breeding various other birds for many years. The boxes we currently have are budgie (long flat shaped), small finch (cube shaped), large finch / Gouldian finch (shorter than a budgie box with an entry “room” and a nesting “room”), and Bourke parrot (similar to budgie box but bigger) nesting boxes. Would any of these nesting boxes be suitable for fishers and Masked Lovebirds? If not, what dimensions – more importantly – what shape boxes do they prefer? Do they prefer long flat, tall narrow or cube shaped boxes?

Can any one point me in the right direction either though their info or a website I can access? Thanks!
My birds currently live in a large avairy and just need some boxes to nest in. Just like the hollows in trees that wild birds use. The boxes to nest in are what my question is about, not the total living area.
I would never keep birds or any other animal in small cages. That’s just cruel.

I have two adult Double Yellow head amazons to breed, can I mount my nest box OUTSIDE the cage ?

My cage is not real big (3x5x5) so I don’t want to clutter the inside of the cage with a huge nest box. I’d like to make a hole in the bars so I can mount the box outside and have the birds access it from the hole in the cage, but I don’t know if the birds will find it foreign and not enter the box. Any info would be appreciated.
