my parakeet.. weird behavior?

Question
QUESTION: Hello Leah,
Recently i have moved my parakeets house to the garage, it has been around 2 months. I think it is more warm then where it used to live, outside ith my rabbit in a "play house".
He is a lonely parakeet boy who just screams at random times.
I have not heard him screaming ONCE.
Also, he always hangs on the front door where you open the cage and just stays on there for a long time. so it kind of weird.
once or twice, i've caught him down stairs, down where he poops.. way.. down...
so.. what's up with him?

ANSWER: You shouldn't have your budgies in the garage.  This is a dangerous place for them.  The temperature and humidity are inconsistent, which is stressful for them.  Plus garages are known for having fumes from cars, appliances, or heating vents that can build up; it won't hurt humans, but it can kill budgies.  And they're very social, and like having lots of contact with people, which they may not be getting out there.

Also, they're with your rabbit?  This is also not the best idea.  They have very different needs.  And diseases can pass between species which they probably won't have built up an immunity to. The rabbit may be a carrier of a disease, but not sick with it, but the budgie might catch whatever he has, or the other way around.  

I think that this behavior is due to the stress of moving out into the garage.  It could also be that he is lonely and trying to get your attention.  You could try getting him a friend to play with so that he won't get as lonely.  Lastly, please take him back into the house.  Budgies do not thrive in garages.

so..... should i just give it away?

Answer
As far as birds go, budgies are not that loud.  They sometimes scream if they want attention, but they're usually pretty quiet.  They also don't smell as long as you clean the cage often.  And "feathery"?  They're birds, what does she expect?  You can buy these cage skirts.  They're elastic wraps that you put around the bottom of the cage to catch some of the feathers, seed, and poop.  This can eliminate a lot of the mess.

Ask your mom this: why did she let you get a bird to begin with?  It's a responsibility and if she didn't think that you should have one, she should have thought of that before you got one.  Its health will suffer out there, and it's cruel.  If she was just going to either keep it out of the house or get rid of it, she shouldn't have let you get one.  At least then it would have been easier on everyone.  Noisy, messy, smelly?  She has at least one kid right?  I've had budgies for eleven years now.  They're not that loud, they're not that smelly, and they're not that messy IF they're cared for properly.  If your mom still won't let you take it inside, as a last resort take it to a friend who would be willing to take it in.   At least then you can visit him. Or if you happen to live near Salem Oregon, USA, I'll even take him in myself!
