G amill: xxxx Parakeets Temperament Parakeets are highly social birds that live in large flocks in the wild. For this reason, parakeets need a lot of social interaction with their owner or with a mate to stay happy and healthy. If you would like to train your Parakeet to be friendly with humans, we recommend getting only one bird to start with. Parakeets are most active when kept in pairs or groups. Still, careful consideration should be taken before any two birds are placed together to prevent injury. Parakeets are among the best talkers in the bird world and can learn multitudes of words and sounds if exposed to them repeatedly. There are a variety of training tools that you can use to help teach your bird to talk, such as digital speech recorders (Wordy Birdy) and CDs. Your best training tool is your own voice. You can train your bird to talk just by talking to your bird frequently. Please keep in mind that while many birds choose to talk, it is up to the bird whether it wants to learn or not – not every bird talks, and there are no guarantees. Housing Parakeets Parakeets are playful birds and should be provided with a cage that is a minimum size of 18″ x 18″ x 18″. The larger the cage, the more comfortable it will be for the bird. A right cage should have horizontal bars on at least two sides, as hookbills love to climb. Horizontal bars help to make climbing easier. Bar spacing should be no more than 1/2″ apart to prevent injury. Parakeet Diet A Parakeet should be provided with a proper diet to keep it happy and content. A pet Parakeet’s regular diet includes pellets, veggies, nuts, fruits, small-sized pasta, cooked chicken or turkey, and other bits and pieces of foods. Many even prefer boiled vegetables to fresh ones. Give plenty of fresh water to your Parakeet for a happy and healthy bird. Beware that a Parakeet can become bored with a formulated diet which can trigger off negative behavior. Make a combination of small parrot mix and supplement with your bird’s regular meals. Vitamin supplements can be added to their drinking water or sprinkled on their food. Make sure you never feed your bird avocado, cabbage, parsley, and iceberg lettuce. Remember, your pet’s diet will improve its health and will keep its content. G maill:xxxx
