Parakeet.

We have to say, this parakeet seems a lot more stressed out about its turtle taxi ride than previous animals have been when riding on turtles. Perhaps it didn't realize it was resting on a living creature in the first place. As still as that turtle is for the first chunk of this video, it's not unreasonable to imagine the bird thought it had found a comfortable rock to sit on before it suddenly took off at a speed we can only describe as impressive for what's supposed to be a slow-moving creature. ...

Jaidipe, YouTube We love all pets at Paw Nation, not just cats and dogs. Still, some of you are a little restless. "More birds!" the avian fans cry. And we've heard you. That's why today we're featuring all bird videos, just for you (and for anyone else to). We're kicking things off with perhaps the quintessential home bird: the parakeet. And no offense, but we're willing to be that this budgie is more talented than yours. Can your budgie balance on a tennis ball? We've never seen it. "I'm not impressed," says Grumpy Old Cat.

Well, not so fast, reader. Here's a pretty birdie who's found a harder, plastic, more colorful version of himself, and he's in love. Is this a case of mistaken identity or narcissism at its cutest?

Flickr/Young in Panama Name: Budgerigar, aka Budgie or Parakeet Personality: Parakeets are friendly, active, talkative, intelligent and more independent than many parrots, according to About.com. Grooming: These birds need to be bathed every couple of days, says Parrot Parrot. If you leave a wide, flat bowl in their cage, they might bathe themselves, but if not, you can spray them down (use fresh water only). Flight feathers should be trimmed, as budgies can fly quite far with just a few flight feathers. Common Health Issues: Parakeets typically live to be nine or 10 years old. Signs of a healthy bird are bright eyes, shiny feathers, and a consistent weight. Common health problems ...
