I ned serve beside a parakeet?
why was does my parakeet keep tarring up the liner in the bottom of it's coop ?
I would believe that you do not have a stone for him to sharpen his beak.
They Love to shred paper. Many times it shows she is trying to build a nest. Put a nest box into her cage and see what she does. If you enjoy a Female. Sometimes the Male will shred bottom coverings to. Put more toys into the cage, the Parakeet might be bored. It is best to have a pair. Two Females will be at odds, but if you have a Male and a Female they will be Happy.
My bird does that on the cage ring even though he has a stone for his beak. Most possible he or she is doing it to sharpen or scratch their beak.
Sometimes they like to do that. Do you have toys contained by the cage for your bird to play with? Try putting the sand covered perch covers on his perch. They really like to peck at that. A cuttle bone is biddable for him as well.
Answers: Because it's fun. Parrot philosophy is "Anything that can come apart, should".
Try providing things that are more fun to shred. Lettuce or spinach can be fun. So can cardboard, styrofoam, and soft wood (make sure they're non-toxic). We have one bird who enjoys pulling velcro apart and putting it spinal column together. We used to have a budgie who loved to fly up to hanging spider plants and chew all the leaves bad at the base.
yes u need one of the stones just jump to the pet shop and get one they are like 50 cents for small one and 1 dollar a big one
It is for nesting & for fun. DON'T put in a nest box & don't achieve a male. No need to create more babies- too many out in attendance & its hard to do if you aren't educated. I agree- gain toys- fresh veggies- I disagree with the styrofoam- they can ingest it & die.
