Parakeets, or Budgies, as they are nicknamed, are wonderful pets and quite hardy to raise and easily tamed. They require some hands on however and until you're well versed in parakeet bird care, they may present you a few small problems.
Parakeet bird care isn't rocket science by any means, but they do take some extra touches, just like any other pet.
FOOD: You budgies diet should be a seed mix that has been fortified with vitamins. It should usually include canary seed, millet, and some larger seed such as oat groats. While some seeds come with a lot of extra additions such as veggies or dehydrated fruits, in reality, it's often difficult to get your parakeet to each of those. Do keep away from any type seed that seems to be colored using artificial means. Buy seeds that use natural ingredients, or if colored that use natural colorants such as beet juice for your parakeet bird care.
Seeds can become prone to a parasite called a seed moth, when it gets a bit older. If this happens discard it and purchase new materials. Freeze the seed overnight after you bring it home from the store to avoid future moth problems with your seed. Parakeet bird care is something that will take some time to grow accustomed to.
For instance, not all folks realize that in the wild, seeds are not the only thing their budgie would be eating and in captivity, or in his cage, that's not all he wants or needs either. Proper parakeet bird care in fact requires that he have a few extras. Those birds that live only on seeds will probably live a much shorter life span and may be victim of malnutrition. You should add some fruits and veggies to your parakeet's diet, and although it may take a bit to get him or her to accept them, it will most likely double their lifespan.
Parakeet's which live on seeds alone can be expected to survive about 4 years, while those which have other things added to their diet many times will survive to be about ten years old or more. Offer your parakeet some variety. Give him fresh fruits or vegetables at least one time per day. Carrot tops or leafy greens will be things he will most likely accept readily, however steer clear of those such as iceberg lettuce which are primarily watery. They may cause loose stool.
Parakeet bird care requires that you also keep fresh water in his cage at all times and don't skimp on the food. Keep the cage as clean as you can, and remove droppings daily. If you give your parakeet bird care the same attention you would give to any other pet he will be with you for many years to come.
