We finally found a local breeder of parakeets and plan to replace poor Fruit Loop soon. I am wondering if a baby parakeet or a 6 month old would be better? I guess the advantage of a baby is we could hand tame him, but you can't tell the sex when they're so young, can you? I'm partial to boy parakeets, and perhaps a 6 month old would be young enough to hand tame.
