I live in the area of Australia where we have these gorgeous little parakeets all over our grassy areas.

[@Loveofpets]

You are so lucky to see them in the wild 😊

[@jima9356]

This is so nice that Starfire has a great home in the bird room and lives in harmony with all the other small birds. I have never heard of Turquoisine birds before; I have always been a budgie owner. Anyway, please keep the videos coming. Hope to see the next species spotlight on Moustache parakeets; Marbles has become a real favorite of mine. Donna, you are so wonderful for putting out these videos, especially during this very trying time with the quarantine that requires us to stay at home.

@@Loveofpets Hello again 🐦 and hello Star-fire , I think you might have answered my last question to you, on your other Linnie video . I don't know what it is, but something draws me more to the Turquoisine species, i just have to find a good breeder now . Thanks for these wonderful, informative videos 🐦 xx

[@lisaenglert3202]

@@m-o-l from what i understand, they are difficult to breed. I got mine from a excellent breeder in Cali whose mate had previously died. Another pairs female was having a hard time too and was receiving extra care. He told me that he was no longer going to breed them due to their difficulty. Mines named s Picasso. 😬

I used to have Browzie, a beautiful elegant 'keet. Unfortunately he passed away at about 7 years of age. He never became tame, but would hop up on a stick. My blue crown still says ";hop up little birdie, hop up! Come on little birdie, hop up!" I tried for a long time to get Browzie to hop up on my finger.

I so so enjoy your video. Please keep it up. And tell the world clipping wings is not an option. And yes birds need calcium minerals everyday. I hear it so often people say. All the minerals calcium. Is in the seeds. It is not. That is why if you give them a collarbone they will eat it. I’m so glad to see a honest person shaving a video. Thank you.

Hi thank you for nice information

[@philrempel2246]

It is so nice to see that she is looking after the birds so nice. And yes birds like to fly and bath. She has the big bath options for the birds. They are in good hands. Please do not let anyone have a bird if you know they will clip the wings. I try my best is a person is in to clipping wings. If they are they do not get a bird from me. And I hate going in to pet stores seeing all the birds with no wings. That is animal cruelty. How many people will say something about that? No one. Because it is a store. And people think they know what they are doing. But they do not at all. I should not get all med. but it hurts me to see it. I try not to go in to a pet store.

All your birds are gorgeous! How do you keep up with cleaning after pooing on the floor of the bird room? I have sensitive ears and leaning towards the turk or sierra because they are quiet, non-destructive, and don't bite hard enough to break skin. If I'm comfortable enough also add the GCC to the family.

Ohh my gosh are these guys beautiful. I have an american budgie that seems much happier with other birds around, I wonder how keeping them together might go

[@Loveofpets]

Hi, mine are okay together but I have 7 budgies that play together. Not sure how one on one would go. They would definitely need separate cages. Budgies can be very pesky and are very active compared to Turquoisines. A Turquoisine can't keep up with a budgie

[@macintoshimann9892]

@@Loveofpets thanks so much for the info! Yes, I have noticed my budgie really likes to pester other birds haha.

[@Pabzmusic]

It seems that a Bourke and a Turquoisine parakeet have a lot in common. Would they be happy together in a decent size flight cage and access to fly in a room? Thanks again for your informative great videos.

[@Loveofpets]

It depends on the birds. Some may fight. I would have them in their own cages and let them out together

[@Pabzmusic]

Comparing Bourke, turquoisine parakeets and budgies, in general which one is the loudest and the quietest? Thank you.

[@Loveofpets]

Hi. Budgies are the loudest.

[@ellierome9619]

My budgie sort of hit his wing a little against my bed when he flew down. Not hurt but One of his feathers is now sticking out and it looks like it really bothers him. Not bloody or anything....at least not yet. I don’t know what to do. Can you give me suggestions?

[@Loveofpets]

It will probably fall out on its own.

[@newmel82]

Hi I love your video, I bought one yesterday. He is so beautiful, but i was hoping to try and tame him. Can I take him out of the cage and hold him in my hands while i watch TV, or is this a bad idea?

[@Loveofpets]

Avoid holding him but allow him to sit on your finger, arm or shoulder if he wants to. Also, sit beside his cage and offer spray millet or simple hang out with him. They don't like to be held.

[@nicolesmeets8436]

This is an absolute gorgeous video so informative and detailed and very caring. I love it. Thank you so much. I have four parakeets and have them regularly over the last 40 years. I would love to learn more about birds to hold them both those together because I love them so much they are all tamed well and I can kiss their belly they come on my head I can shower therm etc Everything is really sweet I love the interaction. I would probably like to provide for children a big aviary and would like to know which birds are best together to hold with them, so they create the most joy and sensitivity for the kids? And which would be the best size to build as aviary ? and where to get them best when I want to import them into a more tropical country ? Thank you advance. If you can take your time to respond sending much love to you at the birds.

[@Loveofpets]

Hi, Cockatiels can go with Budgies in a large aviary, however avoid putting in nest boxes to breed as Budgies can hurt the Cockatiels. The bigger the better for aviaries. Google breeders in your area to find the birds that you are looking for. Also search your local classifieds for people looking for new homes for their birds. Join Facebook groups on the birds that you are considering and ask there.

[@Loveofpets]

Hi. Birds are very good at adapting to their environment. A large cage is ideal. Since she walks around on the bottom the bigger the better so she can walk further. If she tries to fly then she will have space. I have a blind canary and he gets around good.

Hello, I have a 20 days old baby budgie that i handfeeding him from day 7 and rescued from atacking parents.He grows feathers but is so tiny and i can feel his bones.Any advice? Really do not know how to proceed.Thanks!!!!

[@spiralpython1989]

I keep Turks and Bourkes. (Bourke rhymes with turk, not the similar sound to the vowels in ‘talk’), and they are not called ‘parakeets’ here in their local environs… they are Grass Parrots here in Australia. I adore the Turks, they chuckle and chatter and are really animated. I put prunings from the native flora in my garden into their aviary which they love (and shred). I also feed them seed heads from my ‘weed patch’ and lots of eucalyptus and bottlebrush flowers. Their activity patterns match their natural environment…. Cooler mornings and evenings and hot days are very typical of eastern Australia, and many animals from the eastern sea board do have the same ‘schedule’. And I would not ever have them share even a large indoor aviary with any other species (inc Bourkes) as the Turks are most likely to be harassed by others, and not defend themselves. They are too easy going for their own good! Given their preferences for being low and on the ground, and not fighters, I am amazed they are still reasonably abundant in the wild! And watching a wild flock of Turks on a summer evening is an absolute joy. They are a really nice bird to keep in an aviary. They respond to their family, are not particularly demanding (unlike many Australian parrots) and are extremely easy to care for. I am always amazed that they are not more popular as a ‘pet’.

Can you pls tell me which is the best parrot can be friendly and mimic human words

[@amywyse]

What do you think of the Omlet cage for a bourke, a turquoisine canary or a budgie?

[@Loveofpets]

Hi, its okay for a canary or budgie as long as they can come out to fly. A bourke or turquoisine need a wider cage

[@chicken5761]

These are so cute! Are they a similar size to green cheek conures? (To be housed in the same aviary??)

[@Loveofpets]

Hi. They are smaller then a green cheek. Avoid housing them with green checks, its too dangerous. Green cheeks can severely hurt them or kill them.

[@musicalmarion]

Beautiful birds Donna, it's a wonder their tails are so long when they are on the ground so much. It's pretty hard here to find these exotic birds, especially youngsters. If you get to a bird shop or a show they're usually older birds who hate humans. I'd like to ask what you think is a good choice of pet if you want a quiet bird that's quite large, that isn't dusty!

[@Loveofpets]

It's a hard question to answer as it depends on what you are looking for in a bird and they all make noise but some are louder than others. Senegals are on the quieter dude but they do have a call that is high pitched but they are not screamers. Female Cockatiels are quiet but dusty. Some conures are on the quiet side. Avoid Indian Ringnecks as they are very noisy.

[@Loveofpets]

I mix Cockatiel seed mix with canary seed mix for their dry food.

[@patrickb8533]

@@Loveofpets ♥️♥️👍👍🙏🙏

[@Loveofpets]

They are considered a Parakeet and also small hookbilks. If you are looking for a bag of seed I can imagine it's hard as the bags say small hookbill and it could mean for conures or similar sized birds. Feed them Parakeet seeds with canary, finch and cockatiel seed mixed together. They eat smaller seeds with a few safflower and sunflower in moderation.

[@AM-xf8mu]

Hi more conures are going to have hatching eggs soon, just wondering this being their first ever eggs in their life, is it ok for me to still take them all to handfeed, or can I leave half and take the other half to hand feed?

Hello. Hope I can get some help. I have cockatiels. I just want to ask how can I wash the fruits and vegetables we give to birds to get rid of pesticides and other stuff. Can I use vinegar, white or apple cider, for this purpose? If so, what are the proportions to use of vinegar to water? This is for non-organic produce. Does it matter if the vinegar is organic, distilled? At least apple cider vinegar

[@Loveofpets]

Lol. Some breeders call them by color and not the species and not sure why, lol. I feed mine a mixture of canary seeds and a cockatiel mix. Also I give them australian golden feast, they really love that. They also eat pellets. They like Tops Pellets, Tropican and Canary Zupreem fruit flavored. I give them a chop mix with dark leafy greens in the morning and they all go and eat it. Hope this helps.

Hi Donna. Would a grass parakeet and kakariki be able to share a very large cage if I got them both at the same time from very young?

Hi. I wouldn't recommend housing them together. Kakarikis are so active and grass Parakeets are calm and docile. My Kakariki is attacking my turquoisine lately and have to let them out separately. When babies they may be okay until hormones kick in and they may harm or kill each other.
