Hello, I'm new here! I'm not usually a forum person but I would be very happy if someone could help me out with my bird situation. Two years ago, I got two male parakeets named Zeus and Tango. They get along fairly well and are content. One will step up(Tango) and both aren't afraid of me, but whenever I let them out of their cage they fly around like crazy. Because of this, I don't let them out very often(I'm afraid they'll fly into something).
Two days ago, a friend of mine found a parakeet behind our local high school. She called me, and I took the new parakeet in a spare cage I had. Right now, this parakeet is in quarantine on the opposite side of the house as my other parakeets. I haven't had the chance to bring her to the vet yet, but she seems pretty healthy aside from how skinny she is from living in the wild. She's still acclimating so I've left her alone.
In general, I just need some advice. I eventually plan on moving all my birds to same room, but I'm not exactly sure who should live with who and how many cages I'll need. I would like to get my friendly male parakeet Tango 100% hand tame as well, but it's hard to do with his unclipped wings and his cage mate Zeus. Should I clip and separate Tango? As for my new unnamed parakeet, I would also like her to trust me and be hand tame, but I also want to give her time to settle in. Advice would be greatly appreciated!
