BOURKE'S PARAKEET BABIES FLEDGING -- 14 OF MANY COLORS

[@nancyhonea1935]

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.

Hello Nancy, Congratulations. These birds are wonderful, however, it's sad to have them live alone. Try to get a companion for your Bourke. There is so much to tell you. Please email me at [e-mail] and I can give you lots more information. Also, I highly recommend you get a copy of my book www.amazon.com/Rosie-Birds-Guide-Small-Exotic/dp/198676348X/

@RosieBirds thank you, I have your book in my shopping cart. I've been in touch with my baby's breeder and plan to get a rubino hen to go with him. I also have red factor canaries and lady gouldians. He's not entirely alone, we all hang out together in the same room and he likes sitting on the canaries cage and me. I wanted to bond with him awhile before getting a 2nd Rosie. He's only 2 months old. I will email you after this weekend Thanks so much for replying. 🙂

Oh my goodness... all the babies are so gorgeous but Peaches and Stormy have the most beautiful ones in my opinion! I would love to bring a couple home :) :) :) ... just gotta find a way to get to Oregon. :D

[@RosieBirds]

Great idea!!

[@Sylvelourie]

@@RosieBirds Difficult seeing as I'm in Missouri!!! :(

[@RosieBirds]

@@Sylvelourie Beautiful Pacific Ocean ... worth a trip here for a lovely vacation. Smile. Although we don't have any birds available now until next Spring.

[@Sylvelourie]

@@RosieBirds I would love to see the Pacific ocean! But now isn't a good time to travel anyway! Maybe next spring, or the spring after, I'll find a way to make it work. Although I am concerned about traveling with the birds and the stress it would put on them. My budgie traveled just fine, but it would be a lot of traveling for more sensitive birds from what I can imagine!

Adorable 😍

[@RosieBirds]

Thank you, but these are not Budgerigar parakeets (Melopsittacus). They are Bourke's parakeets (Neopsephotus bourkii). They are a different species and very different in personality and habits. Much quieter and sweeter-natured than Budgies.

The breeder just let me know he has two Turquoisine chicks for me, only 5 days old 🐣🐣 I'm thrilled to bits, not sure what colours they are yet, theyll be here in 9 weeks . Turks are quite rare in this part of the U.K 🐦🐦 xx

When ever you guys start delivering I would love to buy them from you

[@RosieBirds]

We are four hours away from an airport that would take them, so just not practical for us to ship them. Sorry.

[@sukhninderjayia933]

Morroco is watching hhhh

[@stevemunn367]

Absolutely beautiful birds, what size rings do you use? 👍🏻🇬🇧

[@RosieBirds]

We use Parakeet, American Budgie sized bands. English Budgie is supposed to work too, but I like the slightly smaller bands so the mother bird is less likely to remove them. It's important though to get them on soon enough at 7 to 9 days of age. Smaller clutches grow faster than larger clutches, so watch the babies for the optimum day/size.

[@stevemunn367]

Rosie Bird thank you for the reply, very helpful 👍🏻

Bringing home a little Bourke hand fed baby today 😊 Any advice? I had a male who lived for 23 years! He was so friendly he would fly to me when I called. But haven’t had a baby for a while.

[@RosieBirds]

Sounds like you don't need any advice from me, unless it is to recommend you get two Bourkes. They are flock animals and people can't be present 24/7. It's too easy for them to become lonely while owners are off doing something else. Congratulations. May you enjoy this one as much as your previous fellow.

[@deborahgentry1932]

Rosie Bird I have a three year old bird, “NuNu” who just lost her friend. So my new baby will be with her after some time. I’d like to socialize the baby for a bit, as well as quarantine her, before I put them together. But NuNu never really socialized because she had a friend from the beginning. So my goal is to try to socialize them both before they’re put together. Is it possible to friendly a 3 year old? She will step up on my finger, but flys like a crazy thing when out, then runs from me. Advise? Please help.

[@Sylvelourie]

That sound Rosie was making there at the end... is that a sound females make when they're upset? My female Sasha seems to do it a lot when I come into the room, especially when I come back from running errands/work, and I always say I'm sorry for upsetting her. :)

[@RosieBirds]

That was a fear response from the baby bird in the box. Rosie herself has no fear. She was hand fed, but the baby hasn't had enough human attention ... need to work on that. I'm spending more time with the others.

The male kills the young when they come out of the eggs Why?

[@RosieBirds]

This is sad. Is your male a Bourke?? Every bird has its own personality, so if you know for sure it is the male, separate him from the hen and get her another mate. He's mentally disturbed. I had a hen once who hatched her eggs, but would savage her young. Discovered which bird it was when I changed mates. With a new mate the hen still had a problem, but the male with his new mate did not hurt his young. With her I would take the babies out of the nest as soon as they hatched and hand feed them. She died young of some unknown cause ... I always wondered if she had a brain tumor or something. Don't know how she was treated before she came to me, but obviously she was not mentally right. Her youngsters have all been fine, however, so it wasn't a genetic problem ... more likely how she was treated before I got her that made her crazy. Good luck with yours.

[@rajul_arbaeini]

@@RosieBirds I asked someone about this condition who said that the male is jealous of the female and that is why he kills the young or that he wants to mate again and the young are a hindrance to him! I tried to marry him to another female but hit the new and call the old female Thank you dear 🌿

[@RosieBirds]

@@rajul_arbaeini I believed this to be true of a zebra finch that started killing his young after raising some in the past. However, with Bourkes I don't think it's just a desire to mate again. They go right back after raising a clutch anyway. I truly do think they are unbalanced in a more complex way.
