About Parakeets?

Question

JUST A FEW QUESTIONS: WHY DO PARAKEETS STAND ON ONE FOOT? I OWN 2 PARAKEETS THEY BOTH DO IT. WHEN DO THEY MATE? HOW DO YOU KNOW IF SHE IS PREGNANT? ANY SIGNS?

Answer 1

All birds at one point or another will put one of their talons up into their body ad chill out,nothing to worry about,they usually mate after the raiy season,which if you live  in the east coast would be around April,May.If you want to increase the chances you make sure you have both sexes first,and a nest box or a little nesting area for the hen to lay the eggs.The signs of pregnancy are basically seeing an egg in the nest,if this is what you want you have to do some reading on this before you get involved and do your homework.It could be a lot of fun to have babies around.Or to hand feed the babies,but only if you know what to do.

Answer 2

To rest.  They also tuck their head under one wing and stand on one leg when sleeping.

Answer 3

They stand on one foot when they are relaxing

I own 10 parakeets but started out with 2 so you know when the bird is pregnant because the lower part of her bod is a little fatter and sometimes there p**p is bigger than usual     way bigger
