Whenever we think about parakeets it means colorful, vivid and cute pet bird in the world. Yes they are so cuddly and lovely to have as a pet bird because parakeets are less maintenance than macaws or cockatoos in every angle. They need simple wide cage, tiny amount food and a small time of owner. On the other hand larger bird need larger of everything you get. Only five things like parakeet food, toys, companion, parakeet cage and vet, these are the common and basic acquirable lists of parakeets. Pet means you have the ultimate great companionship. I have parakeets, rabbits, cats and a puppy in my pet collection. They are super adorable and charming to spend time with them. And also i have a huge collection of pigeon, its for business purpose but i love them as the most incredible pair angle you have.

Back to the point of parakeet, the larger and spacious cage you can afford is best for your little bird. Because in the wild area they fly and collect food on their own so keep as simple as it is. And the important facts about food, make sure the food is dry and germ free because most seller has damp and wet food in store, in my opinion choose the air sealed package food for your parakeet.

The next thing is parakeet love companionship means not only you, they need their other version like female to male and male to female. Male and male can get into fight, so that will be not wise choice. Because they like to spend time with their mate in general and you can not put another species bird like love bird or cockatiel in same cage. 

 For their fun and enjoyment ensure colorful and exciting playing toys in their cage, at first they can ignore it then love it in general. Swing, boing, perch, mirror, ball, knot, cave etc playing stuff you can find out. 

Who does not love to talk with their pet bird, but unfortunately they can not talk just a little whistle and mimic you have to please with that. But you can tame them to feed in your hand and dance a little bit. For this a quality time is essential, if you can not get enough time then switch the radio or TV on, believe they love human talking, isn't it amazing?

I hope you get the basic things about parakeets and the last things sometimes it might confusing whats the different about budgies and parakeets, don't worry both are same just whole world known as budgie only american love to call as parakeets. And one thing is must point out English budgies are smaller than american parakeet none other than everything is just same and fantastic.
