Known as Linnies this small parrot is just six inches tall, and allegedly therefore, is a pleasure to own. Most have a tendency to be friendly, are kept as breeding birds, and as pets. In all essence you could not ask for a better bird. The Lineolated parakeet comes in green which is their natural wild color, as well as turquoise, mauve, blue, and a couple of others. The genetics are straightforward recessive with the exception of the Lutino, which is sex linked. The Lineolated parakeets were imported into Europe in the 1970's but have not caught on in the States till current years. There's a terribly robust population in Germany, Belgium and Holland, but not too many other places. Since the varied color mutations have become obvious, …show more content…
They do need lots of exercise so a bigger than standard cage would be wanted to raise them, as compared to other cage raised birds. As an example a cage size of 24x24x36 inches is advocated for a breeding pair. The call of the Linnie is a chattering sound, and as a flock they can get extraordinarily loud indeed. In the early and later hours of the day the chattering sound appears to be much louder, but between these times, they're essentially quiet, unless something happens to annoy them. Linnies always appear to be conscious of any presence and they have good interaction with people. Some try to chat, but there were few reports thus far of people essentially hearing clear and accurate words. The Lineolated parakeets are for someone who is attempting to find something bigger than a finch, but smaller compared to a cockatiel. They do have growing wants, like their toenails can get long and curl. When this occurs they have to be clipped. They adore to eat fruit, doused seed, and some grain bread. Apple, cranberries and grapes appear to be favored, and make great nibbles. A good grade of parakeet seed should be used, and a good quality fruit mix (from the superstore baking isle) can be mixed with their

They are the largest gulls in the world with a domineering attitude as they follow fishing boats to pick up scraps and bait. They eat from trash cans and landfills. And their built serves to intimidates other seabirds and they steal their catches from them. They breed during the months of March to late June.

It won't take up much room. It will have a small cage because it will run around when I am at home. He will go everywhere with me when i am home. It will stay in my bed to sleep.
Some of them are blue and white, some are yellow and green. They are very small, thus the name parakeet. Parakeet means a small parrot. Budgies are referred to as parrots because they are small and stay the same size. They are very docile parakeets which are not loud and they do not bite as hard as your typical macaw or cockatoo would. These are possibly the easiest birds to care for and maintain because they are so small. You can keep them in a small bird cage versus a cage you might pay thousands of dollars for to keep a macaw in. They don't eat as much as the larger birds either. You will need to purchase a small bird cage for the parakeet. They will do well in pairs as well. They will need bird seed and a cuddle bone to chew on. They will also need some toys that they cannot cut themselves on. Birds love mirrors with different objects that hang from them. Avoid anything in the cage that will cut them such as metal toys. You will want to purchase a few perches for the parakeet to sit on through out the day. You will need a water and food dish that clips to the cage. Budgies live to be about five to ten years old depending on how healthy they are. Budgies love companionship and love to exercise as well. You can bring your budgie outside of the cage to run around on the floor but make sure that all of your pets are locked up or there could be a problem. Also make sure that your budgies wings are

The animal from my March field guide that I chose to report on is the Common Ground Dove. The common name for this bird is the Common Ground Dove and its scientific name is Columbina passerina. The bird was located outside my house in Crystal City, Texas. The Common Ground Dove looked as if it was in search of food, while it walked on the front lawn. It then flew away when approached. My opinion is that the size of the bird affected its decision to fly away. Since it is a small bird, it is more fearful of bigger animals. This bird is found in the southern U.S, Mexico, central America, the Caribbean Islands, and the northern part of South America. They are found in open areas that have bushes and trees. They can also be found in forests with
The males choose the nesting place which is ideally in a large tree near bodies of water. They live in the Black Hills but, with sites like these declining it is making it hard for the population to expand.
- Red Tailed Black Cockatoo. It is listed as vulnerable on the NSW Threatened Species Conservation Act 1995. They are around 24 inches in length.
Not until 2002 did scientists begin to recognize the evolutionary changes in subspecies, and create an entirely new species scientifically labeled Parus atricristatus. In 2017, you can now find a variety of closely related species of tufted titmice who have adapted to more diverse environments across America including a wide range of the South/Northeast, and even a few states out branching out West; each adapting to their environment beautifully.

This drought contributed to mortality of some of the birds. It was found that out of a total of 388 juveniles only 1 survived. Most of the smaller birds died due to lack of smaller seeds. In 1976, 17% of seeds eaten were large. The number jumped to 49% in 1977. The smaller birds were mostly females. This lead to a depletion in the sex ratio. Before 1977, there was one female to every male. However, in 1977 there was inly one female to every six males. During this same time the amount of seed
April showers bring May flowers, and ladybugs. Those darling spring beetles are, in fact more, important than their cute appearance leads you to believe. These metamorphic beetles are an important part to any garden’s ecosystem, from larva to full adult; ladybugs play a vital role in our agriculture.
You can buy a couple small bird safe toys for your canary if you wish, my Grandmother had a small bell attached towards the top of her cage, every once in awhile one of her canaries would peck at it, and seemed the birds enjoyed hearing the bell ring, also she had a small mirror fastened to one side of the cage, often one of her birds would sit and look at it's self in the mirror.
This makes them great companions for a single person or a whole family, if the bird is socialized properly. However, being inquisitive has its draw backs. These birds see everything in their environment as their toys or food; therefore they can chew on electric cords or tear up those cherished keepsakes, so keep this in mind when you let them out for fun and exercise. Also, because they are so intelligent they sense our mood and often get in that same mood too; i.e., if you are angry they get angry, if you are happy they are happy. Remember, approach your bird as a friend and family member and enjoy a happy and lifelong companionship with your lovable giant, the Green Wing
