Im getting a bourkes parakeet....
Can anyone tell me about Bourkes Parakeets? The pet store I work for might be giving me one...its a handfed baby and its very lonely so they want it to come live with me and Marley... so Ive heard they are quiet and stuff but what do they like to do and eat and what kind of toys? Are they agressive...passive? Thanks in advance!

Ive got four Burkes and they are lovely little birds. They are very quiet and placid and have a sweet little twitter. In the aviary they are early risers and late to bed. Keeping the other birds awake as they are noisy fliers. I feed mine good quality small parrot mix (seed) apples, brocoli, bok choy, silverbeet, corn on the cob and they love love love multi grain bread. Even though mine arent tame, they will let get as close as to almost touch them. My older pair are Rosie (rosa burke) and donald (for the aussies named after Don Bourke who visited my house for a story). They arent at all aggressive and would imagine they make great pets. Have fun, they are lovely.
