A Connection

I have two parakeets, one male and the other female.  The male's feather coat is a sky blue color with it's wings distinctly underlined with white feathers.  The female is a mirage of colors, mostly blue and and yellow with an intriguing pattern of black spots on it's back/wings.  This is where the name "The Yellow and Blue" comes from.

The power of a bonds can do many things, or maybe in this case, it is just a matter of communication.  I don't know (yet), but it has a clear connection with an event that occurred during one of my observations.  My two parakeets are seemingly in love; or that's what I assume.  They have a close bond; I'd almost go as far as saying they have a relationship with one and other.  Placing both birds at each end of my house, I put that relationship to the test.  At first, all I heard were these chirps, as if they were talking to each other. In a flash, not even five minutes since I had separated them, "like magnets, the two were together once again" -observation 09/23/14. This moment was truly shocking because of how fast the were able to locate each other in mid-air! Maybe it was communication, or could it have been their bond?  We'll all have close bonds, and they drive us to do better and do things that we didn't know we could do. I have a hunch that this might be one of those times.  The fact that this happened is still mind boggling to me, even after two weeks.

  1. your parakeets seem to be very close together, I agree that this was a form of communicating so they can find each other again. Have they always been this close?

  2. Your parakeets remind me of an elderly couple that has been together their entire lives. They seem adorable. Did you get them both at the same time? Do the play and or eat together? I think you should post pictures of them and maybe do your experiment again and tape the sounds.

  3. I love how you write ""like magnets, the two were together once again"" to describe Yellow and Blue's relationship. I can just image the two parakeets acting like doves when you turn your back away. I hope in your next post you can add a picture of the two.
