I know you’re supposed to house your pet in the largest cage you can afford.
At least that’s what I’ve read in past issues of Bird Talk.
Anyway, I’ve done my share of parakeet rescues and as of now, I’m down to 2 birds.
They’re housed in an older Prevue cage #F099 which I purchased when a pet shop by us was going out of business and was selling out their stock.
I look forward to getting your email every Sunday and reading it has become as much a ritual as the old Sunday paper.
And now I have a question for you.
Thunder and Lightning are my bonded parakeets.
I’ve had them for years.
Last summer I saw more and more breeding activity, so I bought a box and let nature take its course.

Hello Mz Tobsing
I appreciate your advice on light therapy as that cured the hormone problem for my little girl parakeet.
Now I have a new problem or question, please.
I have two boys and one girl parakeet each with its own cage.
The little girl has a larger cage than the boys.
All the cages sit on tables.

Mitch: I read on line something you wrote about the possibility of training adult budgies.
I have inherited two budgies – about 1-year-old.
They are in a cage and have never been trained.
They seem very happy with each other.
They are very active and chatty.
Hi, Mitch,
I spoke to you about my parakeet’s diet and you were going to send me some helpful info. Thanks! Steve (more…)
We get the following phone call on a regular basis.
Me: “Hello, Windy City Parrot”.
Caller: “Hi do you all sell talking parrots?”
If you are a bird person you know there is no such as a “guaranteed to talk”, parrot.
