i have a very large cage and i can aford another parakeet but if i get another one i"m afraid my other parakeets they wont except it.
2007-07-20 19:38:38 · 12 answers · asked by ?confused?.. well not completely 2 in Pets ➔ Birds
if you do get another one you can't not put it in the cage with your other 2 right away you HAVE TO QUARTINE it from the others for 30 days ( some sites say 90 days) and then introduce them slowly and keep the newest one in a seperate cage untill they get along extreamly well together
but you might even wanna get 2 more that way it's not "3's a crowd type deal" if you get 2 at the same store at the same time you can Quaratine those 2 together away from the other two, and then intrdouce them slowly to the other two, that way if they do all get along and you can get them all in one cage with out them fighting, they'll each have thier "pair" i'm not meaning Breeding pair, but that way the 2 you've already got that are no doubt best of friends, doesnt shun the other one out and it end s up bieng lonely even know there is 2 other birds right there - now granted that may not happen - but there is a chance it would
Hopefully that makes sense

As a pastime breeder, i could say neither of those recommendations are stable alternatives. I even have many times held domestic dogs for stable residences, while the customer has a visit planned. vacationing poses many subjects, including behavioral issues, yet greater importantly it heavily will advance well being detrimental aspects. The puppy could additionally want vaccinations, and worming probably in this time-physique. A sitter is a much better decision, yet a puppy especially, desires a relentless, good area. optimistically your breeder would be happy to do this. some would ask which you're making a contribution to the price of vaccinations, nutrition, ect.. which isn't unreasonable, in the event that they could be protecting the puppy for six-7 weeks. i could ask the breeder. in the event that they're antagonistic to protecting the puppy, i could discover yet another breeder, as they're basically interested in seeing the puppy long gone, and have no actual interest in that's wellfare. terrific of success!

No because sometimes birds like company I have had 3 birds at one time and its just fine. But 1 or 2 parakeets might get jeolus if your spending time with one bird so you have to keep track of your timing.

I had one in a cage, added another one, then another one, then another one. I ended up with 4 in a cage. No problem. Enjoy! Fun 2 watch the interaction.

Dont worry, as you see in any zoo, or birds garden, its always lots of them in one cage. Its nice to watch their different colors. Make sure no cats around.

if the cage is large enough, just get two more. that way one isn't left out or a third wheel.

It will upset them.
They have a very complex social structure, and there is no predicting how the newcomer will get along.
Stick with the 2, you won't be sorry.
