Yep, unlike budgies, most people can control their sexual urges if they try.

Oh John, what are you like eh?

But it's my fault- there used to be a red bell in the cage that they humped, but I got tired of "ding, ding, ding!" all day long, so I took the bell. Then they discovered each other.

It's probably not that they're gay, but they're prison gay. They don't ever see any female parakeets, so one says to the other, "Hey, budge, we're not getting any younger, you know."

Is this a subtle way of shaming me for taking their sex toy away? I gave them other toys without bells, but they only want that damned red bell. Picky little fuckers.

Really, what's wrong with consensual, consequence-free sex?

Yes, I'm married, and I only have sex with my wife, but before I was married I didn't have any compulsion against a little fun in the sack. As long as precautions are taken and both parties know what the other is in it for (say, just some quick, enjoyable sex as opposed to getting into a relationship) then really, what's the harm? And don't say "because God doesn't approve" because there are countless instances of sex between unmarried people in the bible.

Take the dinger out so it won't make noise and see if they go back to humping it.

It's probably against his interpretation of the bible...or something.

They're both male, so that would be the scientific discovery of the year. I paid $19 for each of those little suckers- if one laid an egg I bet I could sell him at great profit.

My wife once got a duck.... ducks are a bit larger than those little birds you have.
She called it Fred, for she thought it was a male.... turns out.... ♀

They're definitely male- parakeets are easy to sex. They both have vivid blue ceres.

What did your wife want a duck for? (this sounds like a great set-up for a joke).

Pocaracas just misheard her one night.

Her place always had some sort of animal, usually birds... This duck had no mom, so she took it in, nursed the little guy... turned out to be a little girl... e then released it in a lake where other ducks were... She says she came back there and found her freddy a few times...

This entire thread has gone to the birds. I'm telling you - it's all foweled up now. Sorry, I had to swoop in on that one.
