2. I live in a college dorm, is it a good idea to bring the parakeet to live with me there?

3. male or female

Answer 1

all birds should have their wings clipped, for they can fly away.

if it is okay with the college, i think it would be okay id there are no wild parties there.

both male and female can aproach you with an open heart!

Good Luck!

Answer 2

You should clip its wings but you have to be VERY careful! I suggest if it is your first time go to a vet to have it done just in case. But I dont think that you should bring it into a college dorm unless your by yourself. It doesnt really matter male of female. Although when you get a budgie you SHOULD NEVER let it go by any windows. If it gets a chill ( and they do very easily)  it will get very sick and unfourtunately die. And if you get a budgie alone you MUST get a nother parakeet so they can keep eachother company. You can get male/male female/male but never put 2 females together.

Answer 3

#1 - You don't really have to since you live in a dorm, but if you do, take it to a vet so they can do it.

#2 - There is no problem with you living in a dorm, as long as you have a window with good sunlight, it'll be fine.

#3 - Doesn't matter, they both come in the same variety of colors, and there isn't much of a difference in behavior.
