She is in love with it and is no longer sad. I should have done it sooner. In our situation, putting a little mirror in our crippled parakeets home was a real answer to her loneliness.

I just put a mirror in their cage a few minutes ago. Noe they seem to be very curious. Reading about parakeets and mirrors seems to have two different opinions. some say it is a good idea and others not. I really love these guys and want the best for them.

He's still a little shy with people and i just removed his mirror to see how he will react. I hope he comes to love me like Perri loves you :~D I just got a parakeet and a mirror for a toy I noticed that he does sit in front of it a lot but he still eats and drinks as needed.

I put a mirror in his cage he only bites when in his cage otherwise hes weet and will come right to me and hasnt had any eating problems since the mirror and plays w his toys all the time...... hes rather smart and sometimes i think hes trying to clean me because he gives a light nibble not like the hard bite when hes in the cage My parakeet was very tame when i first got him but my two yr old got a hold of him and squeezed him so he started biting after that.

Maybe it's because he feels more comfortable- I think maybe they think there is another bird in there with them when they see their reflection. However, it isn't healthy for him to do nothing but stare in the mirror all day, not exercising or eating/drinking. If there is still a problem, I would suggest taking it out for a few hours and see if he will still get on your finger and interact with you. You can put the mirror back in for a little bit as a reward- this will teach him it's a good thing to bond with you. Good luck!
