Is parakeet food safe for cockatiels?
Question by spirithawk06: Is parakeet food safe for cockatiels?
I just realized that the mixture I bought to add to Soren’s (my 6 month old Whiteface pearl cockatiel) feed is for parakeets. It has all the same things that the cockatiel mix had minus the sunflower seeds. I was trying to find a mix that didn’t have a lot of sunflower seeds. He already has sunflower seeds in his regular seed mixture and I try to pick out as much as I can because I have been told by several people, an avian expert included that they are high in fat. Does it really make that much of a difference if he gets fed parakeet food? The mix I bought was Ecotrition Grains and Greens Variety Blend. It has a lot of dehydrated vegetables in it along with seeds and is fortified with vitamins that is the only way I can get him to eat vegetables as of yet. The only difference between this one and the one that was for cockatiels was the sunflower seeds from what I can see but I don’t have a container to look at. Does it make that much difference?

How to get my new Parakeet to start chirping?
Question by kvnniv: How to get my new Parakeet to start chirping?
I just got a blue parakeet last sunday. I know that it takes a few days for the birds to get used to their new environments, but he has just been sitting in the same spot doing nothing except for the occasional meal, making no noise. Is there something that I can do that will make him happier and begin to chirp? Any music or certain toys that parakeets love that makes them happier?

through the pictures it looks to me that she is holding an egg but could be wrong. it take 10 days for the first egg to be laid then she lays the rest every 2nd day. she is no egg bound signs of this are things like sitting on the bottom of the cage fluffed up and being alot less active. she looks like a very healthy hen so all should be fine. make sure you feed her egg food aswell which is a hard boiled egg grated and can also add other grated veg to it.
hope this helps

Answer by Mr. Clever
“Browns” Parakeet food is the BEST.
$ 14 will give you a good 1-3 month’s supply, accompany that with a little millet every night, and some other treats as well.
My bird would not eat Kaytee, or any other “brand-name” bird food for 2 days, I was so scared; I found this food in my supermarket one night, and guess what? He ate every last piece of it.
no additives,no chemicals, nothing, just pure natural bird food the way God intended.
Good luck and let me know how this works out for you.

Question by prudence: are there any parakeet breeders in northeast ohio?
Bought a parakeet 3 weeks ago from Pet Supplies Plus. He was a sweet little thing, but they knew nothing about him. He was very active and did not show any signs of illness.Then lastnight he just dropped from his perch and died.I am very upset.I need to know where I can purchase a bird from someone who knows about birds.
