Environment
Parakeets need to have a medium sized cage. This cage
should have enough room to fit more than one parakeets.
Parakeets are best kept in small groups. They are not very
solitary animals. When you get materials for your cage make
sure you get perches so that your bird will have places to rest
on. Fake plants can be provided this will help your parakeet
feel hidden and not as open. Parakeets can be displayed in
open areas or in places with not many people. Parakeets do
best with people around although parakeets usually prefer to
be left alone at night. In order to properly care for your
parakeet make sure that your pet is always provided with toys
that they can play with. Don't buy toys that are too small for
your Budgie parakeet otherwise your pet might choke on it.
Make sure that your cage door for your Budgie parakeet is
strong enough so that your parakeet cant pry open the door
and escape.
Behavior
Your parakeet can come in all different colors from red to blue
to green to purple. Parakeets like all other animals have
many different moods. Your Budgie parrot may not get along
with other birds in the same cage. This is completely normal.
Usually you should switch cages with the parakeets but
sometimes your pet may overcome its rivalry with the other
birds. If you so not want your parakeet to develop baby
parakeets make sure that you keep your Budgie males and
females separate from each other. If you want to breed your
parakeets make sure that you do not let the other parakeets
interbreed this happens a lot if you put males and females of
the same parent together. When you buy your parakeet it is
best to get two female pets instead of two males. Males will
often fight with each other as females do not.
Food
Parakeets should always have food and water containers
available. Make sure that each parakeet has its own food
container or your pet might get upset. To properly care for
your parakeet make sure that the water bowl is always filled to
the top and make sure that your pets water is clean and fresh.
Parakeets should have supplemented diets made for them.
You can find some of these diets at a local pet store. Make
sure that the food you give to care for your pet has nutrition.
You can also feed your pet snacks. This will make your
parakeet happier.
