These birds have lots of personality. Parakeets are easily tamed and trained, they love to chatter, can learn to talk, are not loud or noisy like their larger cousins, and come in a variety of beautiful colors. They are a great beginner bird because of their ease of care and personality.
The most common colors for Parakeets are green, yellow and blue. But do come in white and mixed colors. Parakeets have many new mutations on the market which can make the price go from a normal range of $10 up to $30 and sometimes more. I keep my prices down no matter what color I have to sell.
In the wild, Parakeets are social creatures and this is why they love attention. This is also why these birds are capable of a strong bond. If you would like your bird to bond to you, it is recommended that you do not keep two birds in the same cage. Also we do not recommend keeping a mirror. If kept with a mirror or other bird, your parakeet will not bond with you. The lifespan of a Parakeet can range from 15 - 20 years making them, in some cases, lifelong family members.
Differentiating between the sexes can be fairly easy because as a male matures, his nostrils will become distinctly blue and he may even have a blue tint to his legs. The mature female will have pink of flesh colored nostrils and pale pink legs. As youngsters, they will look very similar, only as they mature do the differences show up.
Parakeets are not considered great talkers but can learn several words well. They do love to chatter though!
Life expectancy as pet is 5-7 years
bathing and a nest box.
Danger: Ceiling fans, other pets, kitchen areas, toilets, etc. Keep your bird's wings clipped to prevent escape.
Health: The common health problems with parakeets are mites and upper respiratory infections.
