I got something new for my little shredder loving hen. Petco had packages of little popcorn on cobs. I didn't pop the corn as she doesn't care for popcorn, but I put the whole cob in her cage. She had that cob stripped and the corn eated in half an hour! Your male birds are probably close to a year old. their ceres don't turn blue until they are that age. younger birds have very pronounced stripes going clear across and down to the cere. They lose those at the first moult at about 3 or 4 months of age. You are right...the keets are like tiny humans. They each have their own personality don't they? Too funny that they hide under your bed!

the males are really small to be adults I thought. they are smaller than the females even tho it does not appear in the picture. they have stripes to the cere but faint

Well, I have never seen the ceres turn at such an early age, but there are so many different bred varieties. If the eyes are still little black buttons they are probably younger. Size doesn't always tell the age. My oldest girl is tiny compared to my year old little one. my little yellow gal will always have the button eyes with no iris as that is how her mutation looks. There is a good forum at talkbudgies if you care to google it. I enjoy reading about the little feather bundles and learn a lot from the posters.

Just saw this thread & loved seeing all the pics. I used to have birds many moons ago, & it all started w/ a parakeet. In the beginning, I didn't even realize that he talked, as I hadn't learned to hear that funny little voice yet. It was a neighbor who pointed it out to me. As it turned out, he was repeating all the things I said to him. "Sunny, I love you! Is he mama's baby? Is he mama's pretty boy?"

I've always said that someday when I'm an old woman, I'm going to get another little boy 'keet to keep me company in my dotage. They're a ton of company!

Enjoy your birdies!

Beautiful, and they're really so affectionate. Seeing your pictures makes me want to go buy some more! They're so gentle. I always tell mine that God sure made him beautiful. I'm always amazed at how pretty birds are. Love 'em!
