TalonSis Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 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: http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y156/Wild_Horsefeathers/My%20Pictures/IMG_4477.jpg Melissa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
judygram Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemyGreys Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 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: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CeasarsDad Posted August 17, 2007 Share Posted August 17, 2007 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" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talon Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 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.

judygram Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 They are so cute, but no budgies in this household, I draw the line on no more birds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dblhelix Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
