Need Help with Lose Parakeets

They hang around with all the rest of the birds, so they are present when ever food is available.

If you stay out there after you put the food down and sit quietly, would they still come by?

[emily_the_spoiled]

I don't know. Every time I get anywhere near the tree all the birds take off, so that is their cue. I think that if I were just to stand there, they wouldn't come at all because the other birds wouldn't come to eat.

[Karen]

It might be worth a shot to bring a chair out and sit, and see if they and the other birds will come by - otherwise I cannot think of anything that would lure them in that would not attract other birds!

Thanks for the suggestion. Right now it is POURING rain today, so I will have to try that when it is a little dryer

[Karen]

Oh dear, that may be "my" fault - the remnants of Hurricane Karen?

Yep, the rain is remants of the hurricane. But we are doing better than a lot of places: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...-Nebraska.html
