jdr Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 We will probably go see the baby grey tomorrow,and yes probably bring her back home with us.I fully trust the breeder,so I'm not worried about exposing this grey to my Severe Macaw as far as disease goes.The question I do have is my son who is 12 wants us to get a little parakett for him.They have some at a local pet store,so what do you think the danger would be from the parakett? should we keep it in another room for a while?

MommaFawkes Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I would keep them in different rooms for a while yes. This is very important!!! 30 days minimum, 90 days is best! Budgies(parakeets) are great!! I have 4 and they are so neat!! As long as you dont mind their constant chatter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdr Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 Sorry about posting that so many times I don't know why that happend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 I'll bet your excited jdr. We'll look forward to hearing about the new arrival and seeing photos. :-) I agree with others on the Parakeet, quarantine for at least 45 Days. I know Petsmart has an illness problem with all their birds and has had it posted for over a month now, that none are for sale as they are quarantined by the Health Department.

dblhelix Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Hi jdr, As others have said, even if you trust a breeder completely its best to adhere to the quarantine. You just never know and illness often is not initially apparent. Absolutely do quarantine with the budgie. They are mightly little parrots, so much fun!...

Nychsa Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Goodness Dan, our Petsmarts here in Baltimore have a quarantine going on as well! Is it nation wide? What is the issue, does anyone know? Sorry for the thread diversion :whistle: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
