why does my parakeet flap her wings rapidly2007-11-24 17:27:35

once and a while my parakeet will start flapping it's wings really fast for no apparent reason while she's in her cage. A couple of months ago my other bird did that once and it fell off the perch and died. Is my bird getting ready to die?

Answers:

No, your bird isnt getting ready to die. Did you have his wings clipped not too long ago? If so, his wings are probably growing back and he is trying to see if he can fly around. I have an African Grey and he does that ALL the time after he gets his wings clipped. I hope this helps and good luck!

I have a parakeets too.They do that because they want to fly around in a room or something.When they do that,I let them fly around.

It isn't likely that your bird is getting ready to die. She is probably just stretching them out. My parakeet does that often and is fine.

Stretching & Exercise.

let him out once a day to fly around. he needs to spread his wings

no hon your bird is just exercising her wings i have 7 birds at home and there is allllllllllot of flapping going on

---

Exercise and having fun.

Mine do this sometimes in their avairy which as room to spare if they want to fly about.

Hi Smiley,, I certainly hope it doesnt mean there is something wrong with your pet. more than likely it is checking his wind speeds to see if he can fly. They exercise this way to strengthen their wings for flight. They begin doing this even before they get thier flight feathers. So sorry to hear about your other bird, but I dont think flapping his wings caused his demise.

if your bird just got its wings clipped its flight feathers that make the bird fly are growing back. some birds also do that to exercise their wings. so do not worry your bird is not going to die. if you have any questions you can email me at:
