What do I do when I want to give Parakeet eggs to a new parakeet to watch and raise?

My friend’s parakeet just laid her second brood and is most likely going to lay a third brood. If that happens my friend wants to know if it is possible if my adult female parakeet could incubate the eggs of my friend’s parakeet’s third brood and then raise the babies when they are hatched. If so, what do I do to make it possible for that to happen?

How do I get my parakeet to bond with me?

I have a male parakeet. He is the only parakeet I have. I’m not sure if he is hand raised or not. He did used to have a male and female with him but I no longer have them. (Long story.) He will sometimes go onto my finger, but he is usually afraid of my finger. I want him to be comfortable with me so that I can take him out more easily and have him stay close to me when he’s out. I know that this won’t happen over night and I am willing to take as much time as needed. I’m also looking to see if I can teach him to talk. One other thing, does anybody here know how to read the rings on birds feet? I’d like to know his birthday and he has one. Any help is great.
Serious answers please.

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.

My parakeet has babies and she killed 2 of them, and quit feeding them. How do I feed these babies?

So this parakeet, Spunky, killed her two of her 4 babies. She literally ripped off one of their wings, and broke one of the baby’s necks. Two survived the brutal beating–a green parakeet and a beautiful canary yellow parakeet. The green baby knows how to eat normal bird seed, but the yellow one does not. How do I feed this yellow baby?

Due to stress my parakeet pulled most of its feathers. How long does it take for them to grow back?

I just got a new parakeet and it pulled its tail, chest, and back feathers out. He still has feather on his head and wings. He is still very healthy and playful. He stopped pulling once I bought him some parakeets to share the cage with. How long will Kojack (that what I named him because he is now bald) to grow his feathers back?
Thanks for the replies. I am sorry to say, but the bird broke its leg in the cage and later died.

What happens if I put an injured parakeet back to a cage with others?

I have some parakeets and they attacked one parakeet so I separated the injured parakeet and put him with another parakeet. Could the other parakeet try to hurt him too? He is really badly hurt. What should I do?

How do I retrain my first parakeet to sit on my finger after getting another parakeet?

I had a single parakeet for about 3 1/2 months. He was trained to sit on my finger and loved spending time with me. He would jump on his cage doors when he wanted to come out, which was quite often. I got another parakeet and now the first one won’t sit on my finger anymore. He constantly has to be next to the new parakeet and won’t let her out of his sight. I know this happens sometimes with two parakeets, but I miss having a trained parakeet. How can I retrain him?

parakeet??

My husband and I took in a parakeet and he seems to love being held and he will sit on my shoulder for a few hours. But when we try to get him out of the cage he always wants to bite us. He is great outside of the cage but once he is in the cage he is completly different. Is there any way to teach him to act nicer and not to bite?
I open my cage in the morning and he come out when he is ready but he doesn’t want to. I want him to be able to fly freely. My husband can get him but Im afraid to do it. I will sit my hand in the cage for 15 minutes or longer and he still wants to bite me. My husband can stick his in and get him within a minute. He tries to bite him to. My husband is a little bit more braver than me.
