Question by •??????•: Budgie (Parakeet) Questions?
I have a budgie, Angel, who is very special to me. I’ve had him for about two years (got him June of ’08), and he is a very sweet and weird little Albino. He is VERY outgoing, he will fly to you, act like a maniac, pick on the dog, eat with the dog, chase after you (you literally have to run from him) and he never bites, only nibbles. Now, he is a (very recently!) father of three not-even-week-old babies.
He gets along with everyone in my family, and all the pets. I love him so much! I really want him to live longer. He gets cooked corn, green beans, carrots, peas, and a few other veggies. He has never gotten really sick. Angel is a very special bird.
He IS a pet store bird, and he is actually very weird for one. His wings (when clipped, we only did that once) grew back in a week, and we got him young. He is now starting to molt.
Now, I’m wondering, how do I make sure he STAYS healthy and lives a long life? I make sure he has fresh seeds, vegetables, and a good cage. He gets let out for free roam, but well supervised, for ten hours a day, the rest sleeping.
How long can he live if he’s two years? How can I make him healthier (and stay that way…)?
His wife’s name is Emmy, and he is two months her senior, and they have three kids (well, chicks) together and he is a wonderful daddy! He feeds her and the babies, and as soon as he hears them crying, he goes into the cage.
I don’t have pictures of the babies (yet), but here are Angel and Emmy in their small cage when we were in the middle of a flood (they were kept in a small cage because their normal one was damaged)
The white bird is Angel and the green/yellow one is Emmy. Emmy is young in this one because this was when we first got her.
The green is just from a marker, we wrote down the names of the birds on the lower outside cage because they were bundled up, and we needed to know who was who, and it bled through and over the side, but we wiped it up and cleaned it.
So how can I make him live longer? Make him healthier? What other things can I do for him?
