How do we get a handfed baby if we're located in AZ 🏜️? Also I have your book good read. If I am understanding genetics 🧬 if mom is Opaline and Dad is normal and the three baby's come out opaline then they are all males ?
@RosieBirds 2 ай бұрын
If you write to my email I can elaborate. It is [email protected] Are you talking about Opaline Fallow? If so, it's my understanding that both parents have to carry that gene so that babies could be either sex. If you mean an Opaline Rosy (dark eyes vs. red eyes), then your premise is correct. If they are all Rosies like Mom they should be males ... However, if their dad carries the gene for Rosy ... I'd still DNA test them. ;-) That way you'll get verification that will help with future clutches too.

Hi 👋 My names Katie, I am interested in being a parent to a Bourke parakeet and I got a male budgie named sky at home and he has me but I would like to get him a playmate to play with while I am busy so I am wondering two things Do you live in Australia 🇦🇺 ? And Do Bourke parakeets get along with budgies ?
@RosieBirds 3 ай бұрын
Hi Katie, It's not a good idea to put Budgies and Bourkes together because of their personality differences. Sometimes it works out okay, but more often a Budgie will bully the gentle, quiet Bourke. A serious injury can even result. You would be better off finding a Budgie hen for your guy. If you want a pair of Bourkes then put them in a different cage from the Budgie. Also, Budgies are more active and do a lot of climbing. Bourkes need to fly for exercise, so a wide cage is more important than a tall cage. Bourkes don't climb, they are fliers. There is too much to cover it all here. I highly recommend you get a copy of my book: www.amazon.com.au/Rosie-Birds-Guide-Small-Exotic/dp/198676348X/ Best of luck!

What type of pellets do you feed your Bourkes?
@RosieBirds 3 ай бұрын
I don't like pellets and don't use them. Our birds eat a fortified Budgie seed mix by Hagen. They also get assorted vegetables, like cooked corn, peas, green beans and carrots - whatever we are having for dinner works well. Also Fresh broccoli and kale are offered once or twice a week. Treats include Calif. Golden Spray Millet (not the old gray stuff sold in some stores) and Rice Chex Cereal (not wheat or corn chex, only Rice). Babies start out on the Millet and also a Nestling and Breeding formula that we buy from myparrotfood.com in Monroe, Oregon.

I put Gail's video on for them and they all fly to the phone and become so animated and happy chirping away and landing on the phone. They ADORE the sound of Gail's voice and yes, the oldest ones remember her just as much as the youngest! I'd bet they NEVER forget their momma Gail and I think they enjoy hearing their siblings too!

I bought my first Bourke's Parakeet today at a bird show. I was looking for a hand fed parrotlett and found a little fallow hand fed Bourke's. His breeder was kind enough to tell me all about how sweet these little birds are, and I decided to bring him home. I'm trying to learn the colors. He looks very similar to the cream blue edged fallow boy you showed in either this video or the other one you taught us the colors in. I'm excited to see how bright his colors become.

I just got a splendid pair, wild color male and a blue female. I work from home and have them in my office/ bedroom. They're vocalizations are really different from a Bourke. I live in Tucson Arizona, do you think they'll be OK if i keep them in my patio, that has shade all day. They'll have a swamp cooler and a mist system? I'm just worried they're not acclimated to living outside. I have no space else where in my home to keep them inside. What do you think?

@RosieBirds 4 ай бұрын
Australian birds are all at risk from cool drafts. Does Tucson have low temps at night like other desert areas do? They can acclimate to lower temps in the high 60's if there are no drafts, but I wouldn't put them where it gets any colder than that. High heat while in shade is less of a problem. If outside, are they enclosed where other animals cannot reach them or frighten them? One of our buyers left two birds in a cage hanging from a tree one afternoon and a neighbor's dog knocked it down and killed both birds. It wasn't even a cat, which would be more likely. Also, hawks or even Jays, can frighten the birds, causing them to crash around and injure themselves. Is the mist system something they can get into and away from if they want to? Or, does it act like a humidifier for room air? I hope this is helpful. I know our Splendid male, Glitter, whistles more often than the Bourkes and he likes to have me copy what he whistles and whistle back to him. It's kind of fun to do that. ;-)

I've seen misinformation too. Bourke's live much longer than Budgies. They also mature more slowly, needing hand feeding longer and their bones are still growing up to two years of age. Several people have written to me about their Bourkes that were in their early 20's! My own have mostly lived into their high teens, and a few are there now. Hope they make it to their 20's. The oldest Budgie I ever had was 12 years old ... very old for a Budgie, but not for a Bourke's Parakeet.

Hi Gail. I am curious... You mentioned that the baby with pink feet is split for Rosa, are its two siblings with dark feet also splits? Lyn
@RosieBirds 4 ай бұрын
The baby with pink feet is definitely a Rosy. Might or might not be split to another color. The bird with the darkest feet is no doubt a Normal. The one with feet that are not quite as dark as the one with the darkest feet is a Normal, but only growing feathers will tell for sure. Because its feet are less dark than the other, I proposed that might be because it is split to another color, but no way to be certain at this stage. Sorry if it was confusing. Splits can only be guaranteed when, as an adult, they produce a different color that's like that of one of their parents.

Thanks Gail, you have explained it very well. Im curious because I have 3 young ones from a Rosie mum and Normal dad. They are each a little different but normal coloring.

It is best NOT to put Budgies and Bourkes together because Budgies can be aggressive to more gentle Bourkes. It's better to get two of the same kind, either two Budgies or two Bourkes. BTW neither of them can interbreed with any other kind of bird except their own kind.

The mom always in i even think there is some days she wont even come out and the dad go in often and stay a while. The mom just took a minute break not long ago so i rushed to take a look so there were one baby and i took a look and is crop was empty...sooo..how long after hatched the baby get is first meal from the parents...if they feed them..should i see something in is crop or as he is young they give less food and more liquid?... and how long can he survive without eating assuming he is born at least 12 hours ago... if i have to go get him i probably will have to scare her out of her box witch i never do so.becaus if i wait for her to get out to see what is going on he may not make it till then. But i dont want to traumatise the mom or something she is not hand fed and I must say she was a little grumpy when we first met when i brought her home she was even growling at me😅 If ever you would like to answer thank you❤

Do you have email? It's easier to write detailed info. through email. Mine is: [email protected] I can write back to you with lots more information and suggestions. Since this is their first clutch I'd let them try to raise them on their own. If a baby dies, they learn from that and should do better next time. Bourke hens go right back and lay another clutch immediately after their last clutch. After 3 clutches in one year, you should remove the nest box and do what you can to discourage a 4th clutch. Let them wait 8 months, resting, before starting over again the following year. Write to: [email protected]

@RosieBirds 9 ай бұрын
Others measure, but I don't. I feed until they appear full or want to quit eating. I feed gradually, little by little and let them eat naturally, not all at once as some people do. If you watch my other videos on hand feeding in one or two I show how very full good parent birds feed their offspring. They almost look like they will pop. I don't get them quite that full, but do fill them up. Too often people don't feed them enough. I feed gradually, little by little and let them eat naturally until they stop ... not all at once as some people do.

He won’t step up. He loves my other Bourkies but he just is so afraid of us even though we are so so gentle with our Bourkies. I have very tame Bourkies but he just maybe needs some one on one food time? Would you suggest that?
@RosieBirds 9 ай бұрын
Hi Alexandria, Hand feeding a 3 month old bird is unlikely to change him. At 3 weeks of age and older they resist hand feeding. My adult birds that like the hand feeding formula were hand fed from about 2 weeks of age. My birds that were NOT hand fed don't eat the formula, they ignore it. I think your youngster will too. But, if you want to try it, we use Kaytee Exact Hand Feeding Formula. Be sure to buy it for small birds and not for large parrots. Follow package directions. I mix ours into boiling water and let it cool. It mixes better that way. Have you tried offering your bird treats in the hand while your other Bourkes are eating that way? Ours love rice cereal squares (like Rice Chex) crumbled in the hand. He isn't likely to take it right away. Offer a little bit in a dish so he learns how good it is, then offer it in the hand while your others are also eating it in your hand. He should eventually copy them. Good Luck!

Is it possible? or maybe is better to put into the cage another male? Thanks in advance for your comments!
@RosieBirds 10 ай бұрын
Do not put another male with her. That could be tragic. I hope you went after the father that flew away. Sometimes they tire and you can catch them. Watch for him. If he hears your other birds he might return to your area. Give your hen plenty of food. Maybe place spray millet into the nest with her so she can eat without leaving her babies. She will leave to defecate and can grab water then too. But, usually the male feeds her in the nest. Giving her food in there will increase the babies' chances of surviving. I hope she is used to you and won't panic and fly away too. If the box lid makes it possible for that to happen, put a towel or blanket over the box to cover the lid or door to keep it safe while you add food for her. Good luck. Email me for a quicker response at: [email protected]

I hope you have my book. It will help. Remember to slightly turn the eggs several times a day, always in the same direction, stopping only when close to their hatch date. I hope you know when they were laid and that they did not get partially warmed and then allowed to cool. Hatch occurs 18 to 21 days after being laid, but wait at least 25 days before giving up on them. Candling is fun, but handle gently and don't candle them the last few days before they are to hatch.
