Bourke’s Parakeets

[DrKym]

Bourkes are a very pretty bird and sexually dimorphic, I am surprised to see them in a pet store as not many stores carry them.

They can make great pets , have a tendency to be loud an bit nippier than other keets (except for Quakers which are nippier). Not all parakeets are australian but most are.

Red rumps are a completely different bird, but can also make an engaging companion.

Aww, I've always found Bourke's to be so cute!
Its neat that you got to see one, Indie's breeder had a few for sale when I picked her up. I've never seen any in a petstore before, though.
Originally, I had planned to get one instead of an IRN.. funny how things change.
