Budgerigars (Melopsittacus undulatus) are one of the most common birds purchased as a pet bird. These animals are generally friendly pleasant and relatively easy to handle. Although it can sometimes be difficult to understand, with some hard work we have been known to imitate sounds.
Perico Details:
Hope life: 10-15 years (until 20). Source: Australia. Colors: normal wild coloration is green with black bars on the wings, back and head.
For Sex determination: The area around the nostirls is called the cere. You can use this as a way to distinguish between males and females. Mature females have a CERE beige. Males have a blue tint to their ceremonies.
Temperament: Known as a very friendly doscile and birds that are easy to tame, if acquired in his youth. I found that having more than one parakeet led to parakeets unwieldy and less vocal. When I have one parrot, the bird looked me to interact with and was much easier to handle and could actually say a few words. I put a mirror parakeet in the cage and was surprised how much my parrot playing with his own reflection in the mirror.
Election of a parakeet
I recommend you choose a young bird that has been handled regularly and has been fed by hand. The additional costs that experience buying a hand raised bird will be worth in the long term. While their is nothing wrong with buying a store parakeet, my experience has taught me that they are slower to adapt to being handled.
Using the same techniques used in the purchase of a dog or cat. Look for a parakeet that is active and has bright and soft feathers. A bird is down and feathers are swollen can be a sign that he is ill. Take note of the legs of birds. Make sure that the scales are smooth and the nails are in good shape. Do not forget to inspect the beak of any problems.
Parrots are playful and active and do well in large cages. We have always maintained our parakeets in the top of our refrigerator. We bought a cage that would fill the entire top of the Frig. Add a couple of hangers rod and maybe a bird swing along with water and food bowls. Even with a large cage, parrots need a little time out of the cage too. Let them out occasionally to stretch their wings is a good idea. Exercise is very beneficial for your pet birds.
