CategoriesTags | Adding a different colored parakeet to the same cage? I know that my parakeet gets lonely during the day when I’m gone because as soon as I get home she chirps madly until I pet her. I wanted to get another parakeet, not just for her company, but because I love birds. Does it really matter what color the parakeet is? I know they are different breeds, but is it life threatening to my parakeet? She’s all white except for a patch of blue on her back.

Hand-Feeding and Raising Baby Birds: Breeding, Hand-Feeding, Care, and Management
At the pet store, they’re often caged together, despite the colors.
When I was growing up, we had a blue and a green, in the same cage and they were just fine.
I don’t believe there is an issue when it comes to the different colors. You just want to make sure it is the same type of bird, i.e. a parakeet and not a cockatiel or something. I have two budgies (parakeets), one is a dilute, and one is a blue on white, and they get along fine. They fight over treats, but that is about it, and to be expected.
when i was little i had a yellow and a blue parakeet and they got along great.
It won’t hurt the parakeet at all, different colors dosen’t mean it is a different breed but a parekeet is a parot and there are different types of parots.
Whatever your parakeets breed is I would suggest buying the same breed. Colour has just about nothing to do with it. It also does not matter what the sex of the parakeet is. When buying your parakeet observe it in the pet store. Choose a parakeet buy how it reacts to the other ones in the aviary. Buying a second parakeet is a great decision it will keep both you and your parakeet very happy.
color is not an issue. If you introduce the new bird to the other bird’s cage, be careful. Keep it quaritined in a seperate cage for a few days to make sure it’s not sick. If it has anything coming out of it’s eyes or nose, don’t put it in with your bird! you might want to take the new bird to the vet first for a checkup. After that’s over, slowly introduce the new bird. Please be careful, not all birds get along!
I’ll assume you mean budgerigar, which is a type of parakeet. As long as you’re getting another budgie/budgerigar, colour doesn’t matter and they can be inter-caged safely AS LONG AS you quarantine properly (that’s 30 days of keeping the birds in separate rooms in separate cages so the new bird can let any illness pass through its body, and during this time, the bird should be taken for a vet visit to make sure it can’t pass any disease to your current bird). Even during quarantine, the company of each other’s voices keeps them from feeling alone, which is why many people who feel their birds are lonely leave the TV, radio, music, CDs, tapes, or DVDs on so their birds have something to communicate to and hear the vocalizations of.
However, be aware that not all birds get along. You’ll want to keep a second cage in case they wind up fighting and must be separated, if you choose to keep them in the same cage to begin with. I highly suggest you keep them in separate cages beside each other, and allow them to interact during supervised out of cage time. Many birds, even those who are mated and bond extremely closely, can do fatal damage to each other because of what began as a tiny “don’t do that” squawk.
no problem…i had about 10 white and blue parekeets when i introduces my yellow one…..after a day they all became friends and now i got green ones…lol…got 15 in total now…
