Bree - Intro

[Deleted]

My name is Bree. I'm 21 and in college (early childhood). I live in Kentucky (but have purchased both of my birds from a Petsmart in Indiana). I have a blue budgie who I think is female (I posted her photo on the budgie gender board) and we'll have had her for two years in April. Her name is Hedwig. I also have a Canary Winged Bee Bee who has been with us for a little over a month - he'll have to be DNA sexed. His [presumably] name is Dobby. We had a horrible experience with Petsmart when purchasing him and will most likely not purchase another bird from them -  although I do want more birds, and plan to adopt an African Grey in a few years.

Hi, and welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum.

I think with Canaries the males sing a lot more than the females and that's how you tell their sex.
But I am not an expert!

A canary winged Bee Bee is not a canary, Marianne Marlow, they are a parakeet ....... I had to look these little guys up .... they are a bit like a monk parrot to look at - probably much smaller, though, I imagine.

Thanks guys! And yes, I'll try to attach a photo of Dobby! We think he's about 9 months old!
