How can I introduce parakeets/budgies without getting another cage?

Question

How can I introduce parakeets without getting another cage? I don't wanna buy another cage just for that?

Answer 1

unlike wat gigi said, not ALL parakeets will get along, especially if there is a "boss" bird. but put the new parakeet in the same cage and watch very carefully. the older bird may freeze in its spot and carefully watch the new bird, as if analyzing it. trust me i have experience with these things becus i have been doing this 9 years out of my thirteen year old life since i started with birds when i was 4, 5 ish. i had parental help then, but i have read almost evry book and experienced almost everything. if the two birds fight, quickly remove the new bird. you can also tell if the new bird is about to attack because it will either stand up really tall, or the feathers on its head will rise up. sometimes it will do both. but do not leave the room with the birds together until u absolutely know for sure they get along. sorry its long but there are some things u just gotta know. email me if needed.

Answer 2

you really dont need another cage. I have 4 parakeets that i didnt get at the same time. They like their own species so the separate cages are not necessary,

Just put the keet in the cage and you'll see they will get along. i guarantee it:)

Answer 3

This is not the part i get. Why do people compare animals with humans? Birds are not like humans, and would love to be with there own kind. If birds could, they would fly away with their own kind but they don't have a say in any of this. In some situations, birds will fight to show, that one is stronger than the other. Though i doubt that will happen, so there's no need to buy another cage. I've had 2 birds to start with, got another (never thought they would fight) and just put it with the others, they never really mind it. After a few months i get 2 more (same thing). So basically if my 5 birds didn't fight, it's 90% yours won't either. Good Luck.

Answer 4

They will fight and you need to be certain of what genders you put with what. There needs to be definitely enough room for them otherwise there are guaranteed fights... With some birds it works out fine but others can fight for their whole lives. Quarantine quarantine quarantine... you MUST quarantine the bird for about 35 days before introducing them because even if the bird is checked by the vet you NEED to make sure yourself.
