What would be the best temperature to bring a parakeet home in?

I am getting another parakeet in the next couple of weeks and would like to know if say a 45F weather would be okay for the bird. because I don’t want it to get a draft cold.

is it it possible to buy those bird cage grates for the bottom of the cage?

My budgies cage hasn’t got one.

Ive not seen any in the local pet shop, and looked on Ebay but nothing on there either.

How can I bond with my parakeet and get it to stop nipping?

I have a 3 and a half year old male parakeet. I bought him when he was a month old from a breeder who hand-fed him. When I got him, he had just started learning the step-up command. I can now get him to step up onto my hand and leave his cage without a fuss, but I haven’t gotten past that point in training.

He still hasn’t quite warmed up to me, and he gets totally freaked out and nips me when I try to touch his feathers. I know that nipping is bad behavior that should be corrected, but I don’t want to scare him by trying to “punish” him.

How can I teach him not to nip me in a way that does not scare or harm him? How can I bond with him? I really want him to become comfortable with me so I can be his friend, not just something he can perch on. Is being timid and shy normal for young parakeets, and will he just grow out of it?

Thanks!

What are the best cleaning products for cleaning a bird cage?

I was just wondering because I’m getting a bird.

How old is too old to finger train a parakeet?

We have a male parakeet who is finger trained. We are considering getting a female who is about 1 and 1/2 years old and is not hand trained. This is from a private breeder; the pet stores can’t sell birds until April. We would like to know whether to get this bird and try to tame her or to wait and get one from the pet shop.

What does it mean when my Parakeet bobs his head?

What does it mean when my Parakeet bobs his head up and down? What is he signaling to the other Parakeet?
