Buddy now calls my home his own. I am his third (or perhaps 4th or 5th home). He is very sweet, however is cagebound and does not like to be touched. He will step-up onto my arm whenever he "crash lands" and needs a leg-up to get back to his cage. He mutters a few phrases: "Hello, How are ya", "Good Morning" and some I have still to translate.

  • Wife and I rescue exotic birds. Mostly from abusive, neglectful, or homes where the owner has lost their home, or is dying. One of our first was Maestro, a female Alexandrine. Originally homed with a young couple, they had a child and gave Maestro up thinking she was a mean bird. I walked into the receivers home to pick up some wild baby birds and Maestro came right up to me, I put my hand out, she ran up my arm and perched on my shoulder. Shes been there ever since. Potty trained too.

  • Good lady for adopting such a beautiful creature. :)

  • love it

  • My Alexandrian is a rehome.. He knows how to talk but doesn't. Only talks when we have guests... The rest of the time he makes an ear piercing squeal... I don't believe parrots should be kept as pets... They are easily abused (even accidentally) This is by lack of attention and by separation of a partner. The result is this....

  • @danielleboogie They share the same general appearance but the Alexandrine is like an exagerated version of the IRP. Larger head, bill, body. IRP is pretty slender in build, Alexandrine is much larger/bulkier.

  • what is the diffrence between an alexandrine parakeet and a ring neck parakeet because they look the same to me really

  • I have a rescue Alexandrine he came from a terrible home where yorkies would jump up at his cage.. The bird has earned my mothers trust, but he won't let any one else near him... He also only ever talks when new faces arrive at our house,, never anyone he knows.. :(

  • Not a happy chappy!

  • Good bird, Buddy! What's new?

  • How do yu know if you've earned its trust? My alexandrine jumps on me and climb on my shoulders but when the cage is near it always jump back at it.

    It doesn;t bite me though!

    I'm trying to teach it talk.. but my Alexandrine is 15weeks old now is't still to young?
