A cuttle bone is essential.
As someone else said - socialization is so important. Keep introducing the parakeet to your hand and finger. Talk softly....
Normally (I had parakeets and parrots) birds are "one owner" pets so they get attached to one person. IF you socialize them early they won't get too ornery with other animals and people. Start soon!!!!
If you let it out of its cage - use caution - remember - a Yorkie is a TERRIER. (and they are darn fast too!) |
