Sky the killer

By omnomnom - 05/02/2011 00:29 - Canada

Today, I bought a pretty blue parakeet to keep my parrot company, and named her Sky. I went to work a few hours later. When I came home that night, I found my parrot dead. There wasn't a huge mess to clean, though; Sky had already eaten half of his corpse. FML

honestly...its two birds that didn't know each other, and you put them in a cage together? You didn't know if they would fight, love each other, etc. and your locking them in a cage together while you are at work for hours and hours.. They most likely fought to figure out who the "big dog" is, and it was a fight to the death...i am sorry your bird died but really, common since says dont do something like that til they aer accustomed to each other.

blue parakeets are evil. mine clawed my green parakeet to death, then perched on its perch with a smug look in its eyes.

"The parakeet is cannibalistic lol" No. They are two different species of birds.

But they're both birds. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that's kind of like saying it's not cannabalism if an Asian eats a Caucasian, no...?

A parakeet and a parrot are different species. Asians and Caucasians are the same species. Saying that a parakeet eating a parrot cannibalism is like saying a human eating a chimpanzee is cannibalism.

Ninjaprototype10, No, Asians and Caucasians are NOT sub-species in the human genus. We are all **** Sapiens, everyone from Africa, Australia, Asia, Europe, and the Americas are the same species. I think you're talking about different races, but that doesn't count as a sub-species.

They aren't sub-species they are the exact same species.

Me too! xD Then I got tempted me to query a bunch of other memorable MP sketches on YouTube such as the "My dog has no nose" sketch and the correctional cosmetic surgery sketch. 8)

PARAKEETS ARE FREAKING PARROTS! you can't say that you put your parakeet in with your parrot, when parakeets ARE parrots! there are literally hundreds of types of parrots, you can't just name one breed and generalize the other. that's like saying "my Labrador killed my dog" seriously, are people really that stupid???

Just google it. Parrot is the name of an order, specifically Order Psittaciformes not species. So, it's like saying my Carnivora (order that dogs are in) ate my dog.

I didn't say they were a species, BUT parakeets are a member of the parrot family, so it is completely stupid to say that a parakeet killed a parrot. if you're going to name one type of parrot, you can't just call the other type a parrot, you gotta name it's breed too. unless your so stupid that you don't know what your own pet is

First of all, as a bird owner you should know that you never leave to unacquainted birds alone together in an enclosed space for any length of time without supervision. Birds are very territorial of their space, as instinct dictates they protect the space to keep others away from the nest so that when they have babies they aren't immediately eaten by predators. They should have been put in separate cages close together for several weeks at the very minimum so they could get used to each other. Secondly, parakeets tend to be much more aggressive than more expensive birds simply because many are often caged together and they spend most of their early lives fighting for space of their own in a tiny cramped area. More expensive animals are almost always better cared for and given more space simply because it's a bigger financial loss if something happens to them before they're sold.
