Thank You

So the noises they are making are normal then?? I wasn't sure if the squawking from Sunshine was a good thing or a bad thing. I guess it is good since he does it ALL DAY everyday. lol So I guess I must be doing something right. Thanks everyone for easing my concerns, like I said I am very new to all this and just want to make sure I am doing what I am supposed to be.

She doesnt want to sleep in it. She throws everything out of it and then tries to sit in it. I just wanted to make sure it was normal behavior as I am still pretty new to owning parakeets. If someone does not mind taking a second to look, I have a few videos up on my you tube page at http://www.youtube.com/user/rikkisboutique can someone tell me if the noises Sunshine is making are normal. He seems to be doing it alot lately and again I am unsure if it is normal budgie sounds.

okay Birdy has done this since I brought her home about 10 weeks ago and I just now got some of it on video to see if someone can tell me why she is doing it and is it normal? Thanks Rikki

Wow that is a relief. Thank You. Now I am really confused. I hate photos sometimes as it can be hard to tell. I guess in time I will know for sure. It is males that usually do the head bobbing correct? If so, Sunshine does it all the time and I think I have seen Birdy only do it once or twice. Also who is usually more vocal a boy or a girl?

I see why you say Birdy is a she but I think that is just lighting that is making her/him look like a hen as in person there is no white around the nostrils at all. I will try to get a better picture and post in a bit if he/she will hold still long enough. Now for the beak. I know I probably sound really stupid but I just dont know what you mean by as not the right shape. It looks just like the other one in person. She has to be older than 10 weeks as I have had her for almost 9 myself, and I would assume it was older than a week when I purchased. And thank you, she/he is my baby. Sunshine has no iris rings if thats why you wanted the picture of the eyes. I was thinking cock also as his cere is really pinkish. He has bars on his head they are just really really light. They have been from day one.I didn't see the other text below the picture.No his beak does not sit inside. I think that is just the way the picture looks. I think these may be a little bit better pics. They are older but the still look pretty much the same:

Why? Whats wrong with his beek?

Hello, My name is Rikki and I just signed up today so I thought I would introduce myself. I have 2 Budgies. Both babies. I will post a few pics. This is Birdy who is probably around 12 weeks or so. I got him/her from a pet shop and they were unsure of how old. I think he is a boy but again I am not sure: This is Sunshine who is probably around 12 weeks also. I again got him/her from a pet shop and they were unsure of how old. I think he is a boy but again I am not sure. I look forward to reading through all the posts.
