Parakeets for Sale
Parakeets (Melopsittacus undulatus), also called Budgerigars or Budgies, are small, lively parrots native to Australia. They are admired for their vivid green and yellow plumage, social nature, and ability to mimic sounds and simple words. These birds are ideal for home aviaries or as interactive pets.
In captivity, parakeets thrive on a balanced diet of high-quality seed mixes, pellets, fresh vegetables, and occasional fruit treats. Fresh water should always be provided. A spacious cage with perches, toys, and mental enrichment activities encourages natural behaviors like climbing, chirping, and light foraging.
Parakeets are highly social and playful, enjoying interaction with humans and other birds. They are relatively easy to care for and, with proper care, can live 5ā10 years, offering long-term companionship and entertainment.
