I have 1 young albinos budgie and I want to buy a second one. I found a really cute one at the store the other day. On the cage there was a not saying that they were 3 months or older.
I would still like to have it but I was told that it would be harder to train since it was older. I was also told that if I were to put the old untrained one in the same cage as my albino, my albino (who is only starting to get trained) would ignore me because it had a companion. I have 2 cages, I could put one in each one, but if they heard each other, would they ignore me?

My questions:
1# Is it true that if a budgie is old (3 months+) it is harder/impossible to train?
2# If I were to put it in the same cage as my albino budgie, would it simply follow the old untrained budgie and not want to be trained by me?
3# If I put them in separate cages, and they could hear each other, would I be able to train them individually? Would I be able to put them in the same cage after they had been trained?

Ideas?

One day, I went outside and something had gotten into the barn. It ate 2 chickens, so I buried them. Then, I covered up a hole that they dug to get in. 3 days later, it dug up the dead chickens and tried to finish whatever was left. I got a trap sized for raccoons and skunks, I think foxes could also fit in. I put some cat food and peanuts and cheese in the trap, nothing has happened for about 3 days. Does anyone have an idea of what this animal could be? Any type of food I should set in the trap? Thanks. Please no stupid answers. Best one getes 10 points! :)

I have a Blue and Gold Macaw and latly she has been screaming constantly! We spray a small water gun at her which only helps for the time you are spraying her and we hang a sheet over the cage which keeps her quieter, but she still screams, Any ideas of what else we can do to quiet her down? This is horrible when your on the phone or have company over. Thanks!

I have 2 cockatiels, I don't know if they are male or female. Well one of them must be female, because when I woke up this morning I checked on them and there were 2 eggs. One of them was cracked. I removed the cracked one, and lefft the normal one in the cage on top of some paper towels. Niether of them seem interested in it. Should I keep it there or what?

I rescued my cockatiel, Pixie, from a neglectful, smoke-filled home so I'm trying to provide the best environment for him possible. I've read that birds' cages should be covered at night so they can sleep undisturbed, but I also read that cockatiels can suffer "night frights" and that the best way to avoid this is by using a night light near where the bird sleeps. So should the cage not be covered so the bird can see with the aid of the nightlight? Or will enough light come through the cage cover? If so, what is the best material for a cage cover to allow some light in? Pixie and I thank you in advance for your help! :-)
