I know I showed some pics of Petey a looong time ago. He is the pet of my brother and his wife. A while ago they got another parakeet, Chip. I went over to their apartment the other night so I finally got some new pics.
We weren't there very long and they didn't get them out of the cage, so the pics aren't the best. They are in separate cages right now. Apparently they get along ok, but when they put them in one cage Petey the brat wouldn't let Chip eat.
:rolleyes:
Here's a pic of Petey:
Pic of Chip:
Both of them:
They're ADORABLE! Look *exactly* like my friend's pair. Are the friendly/hand-tame, or do they just stay in the cage all the time?
They are pretty friendly. Usually when we go over there they get them out, they just didn't this time. They like to sit on people's shoulders...I've had them each perch on my finger a few times. :)
Petey's the loud, bossy one...Chip is rather quiet and not quite as snotty as Petey.
Aw, poor Petey and Chip, only one comment...:o
Is it just me...or is Petey a girl? :)
They're both gorgeous!
Aw, poor Chip, getting pushed around. Very cute pics. :)
Oh yeah, D'oh. :o I don't know anything about birds, but I remember Britney (my brother's wife) saying she thought "he" was. So I guess "her" real name is Petunia or something lol. I'm so used to saying "he" though I totally forgot about that.Quote:

Has Nebo ever met his feathered *cousins*? :p
Nope, they live at an apartment where dogs are not allowed. :(
OMG!! Petey looks JUST like our Izzie! Aren't parakeet's the best? I love them. But Izzie growls at you, when you even lay a finger on him. :rolleyes: Brat! And in the last pic, of the both of them, in the cage on the left, the toy with all the rings that hangs down, Izzie has that one. Great pics! What beautiful birdies!:)
Aww! they are beautiful birdies!! Budgies are soo much fun!!
Petey is a girl. Male parakeets have either a blue or purple "nose", like Chip. Females have a peach color "nose", like Petey. Also be careful with those cottlebone holders. I know of many birds that have been cut or even died due to those metal holders. They do make plastic holders that are much more safe. I'm glad you love your birds, they are beautiful.
Petey and Chip are both so cute!
Our parakeet T-bird did the same thing that Petey did, we thought she was a boy when she was a baby but then her beak color changed to brown and we figured out that she was a girl.;)
Here is a link to her Pet of the Day photo.
T-bird
Luckily we picked a name that would work for a boy or girl birdie.:)
