We Got a Parakeet!

[TalonSis]

My little brother had been bugging my parents for a pet, so today we went to the pet store and brought home a Parakeet. We're guessing its a male because he's so colorful, and they guessed they were about 8 months old.

 

So far he's been named Sparky, but it might change.

 

 

 

Talon was just all over the cage when we set it up. She wasn't nervous at any of the toys, she seemed to think it was hers! :laugh:

Oh what a sweet little bird, Melissa, so he chose a keet over a dog, well good choice, I say and I bet Mom is glad too, ha ha. Name choice is good too, I like Sparky.

Wow what a sweetheart I'd say Sparky sure is a boy as he has the blue cere, the little bit above his beak.

Age seems about right,as Sparky has lost the black stripes on his head if he was a baby they would go all the way down to the cere, & the good news the boys dont bite as hard as the girls :lol:

That is great Melissa, I would imagine your Brother will have "Sparky" trained in no time to live up to his name. :-)

 

Great photos too, He is a very good looking Parakeet!

Congratulations! I love budgies. You all will have a blast with him, no doubt he's a boy! Attached is a picture of Lucky when he was 13 yrs old...he had over a 100 word vocab, flew to me on command. Mightly little beings they are! B) enjoy him, I am sure you will!!

Yep.. it's a boy.. Look at all that blue.. and thats a good thing because in parakeets it's the boys that do all the talking..

 

I wish I was this little bird.. Do any of you guys know just how wonderful a life this bird will have? He will be given all the love and care humanly possible.. This I am 1000% sure of..

That's very kind of you to say, Thank You! He will be treated with lots of care and love by all of us. :kiss:

I surely know this Talon.... That little bird hit the lottery when you picked him out of all the possibilities there were at that pet shop.. and it won't take long for that bird to realize that he is one lucky "keet"

[CeasarsDad]

Mark, I love that photo.. I have seen it in the past and just love it.. Thanks for posting it again..

TalonSis, Sparky is a handsome chap He definitely looks like he is going to give you alot of fun.

[danmcq]

Very nice Photos Melissa!

 

You are really perfecting your talents! :-)

[judygram]

She learnt from the best, Dan, she certainly has talent. Melissa, you take good pictures, and the subject matter helps too, I might add.

Here is a picture of Gizmo (yellow one) and Sparkey (blue one)

 

They are still under quarantine and hopefully in 2 weeks after their second vet visit, will they be allowed to be introduced to Talon.

They are so cute, but no budgies in this household, I draw the line on no more birds.

[dblhelix]

Super cute and nice pics too! They sure look healthy and chances are good that they will get the "all clear" soon enough to come out of quarantine. The budgie that "adopted" us (we named her Macaroni) is also still in quarantine until Oct 10! We too are looking forward to a clean bill of health and letting her have more free reign over the house! heheh.
