They are wonderful. We are on the south coast of Oregon and don't ship our birds. If you are near us, or are willing to visit, let me know. Coos County, Oregon is a beautiful vacation area. Write to me at: [e-mail]

Do you take all babies at once or do you sometimes take the younger ones later

[@RosieBirds]

Since four is a typical clutch size they are near the same ages. However, when Peaches hatched seven I did leave the three youngest until they were a little older. So, I've done it both ways, but most of the time I pull the whole clutch.

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 ?

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!
