CHAPTER ONE: Introduction to Caring For Parakeets

If you're considering becoming a pet bird parent for the first time, a pair of parakeets may be the best option. However, before you make this choice, you should familiarize yourself with the fundamentals of parakeet care. Today's article includes all the information you'll need to keep your birds happy and healthy for the foreseeable future.

Birds require commitment and care.

Are parakeets suitable for everyone as pets? Not quite. If you lack the time necessary to attend to their requirements, now may not be the greatest time to take on this task.

Owning a parakeet requires a great deal of care and commitment, as well as a budget. Learning how to care for parakeets has a learning curve as well.

When selecting a breeder, ensure that they have a solid reputation for maintaining healthy birds.

Identify the right bird
