Summary: Parakeets, also known as budgies, are small parrots native to Australia. They average about seven to eight inches in length and are usually bright green or yellow in color. In this free pet-care series, you will learn everything you need to know to be the perfect parakeet owner. As pets, they are easy to care for, especially when compared to the food demands of larger pets like cats and dogs. All you need is a cage and birdseed, right? While this is true to a certain extent, there are specific requirements for a parakeet cage. And if you want your bird to stay happy, you need to provide it with nesting material and playthings such as mirrors, bells, wooden blocks and ladders. You also need to feed them right, which means adding plenty of calcium to their diets. Not sure how to go about breeding your pet bird? Our expert answers this and any other questions you may have about your pet bird.
