I Serve Larry's Stick
I just adopted a stray parakeet and I have questions. Anyone here have experience with birds??
Well I guess that answers my question aboveThe vet was really surprised at how tame he was. Looks like he's a little escape artist.
Mirrors are a big one, anything with bells or otherwise makes noise, ladders, swings.. You can get strands of millet seeds - they looove those. Cuttlebones are great for gnawing on. What else..I think my big question, right now, is how do I work on keeping him content in his cage when I can't let him fly around? I just put a slew of toy/fun things in his cage today, so hopefully that will help. I've Googled a bit about them, but this bird thing is brand new to me. I've only ever had furry animals.

And a budgie (Herbert)
I am a vet that sees a ton of birds so I can help with any questions. The book "Birds for Dummies" by Brian Speer is actually an excellent beginner's resource!
i had a budgie but it died
