Feeding Pet Parakeets


Your pet parakeet will thrive if you offer it much attention and affection.  Parakeets are social animals and will not like being alone.  After a parakeet finds its mate, it will keep that partner for life, unless one of the pair dies, after which the surviving partner will find another mate.  These birds have gentle temperaments, making them great as starter pets and children’s pets.
If you work almost daily and you have a pet parakeet, it may be better to get one more parakeet so that they have each other for company.

 A parakeet will require fresh water and food daily.  Many experts will advise bird pellets to be the ideal way to provide your pet nutritionally balanced meals since offering a diet composed of pure birdseed will not have the important nutrients your pet needs daily.  But mixed seeds, vegetables, and fruits can also be offered to add some variety to your pet’s daily diet.  Offer cuttlebones to your parakeet as a calcium source and keep its bill trimmed.  Do not offer your pet any cherry pits, avocado, apple seeds, or rhubarb because these food items are toxic.  Any food left uneaten has to be removed after several hours so that spoilage can be avoided.

Your pet’s diet is one of the important concerns that you should discuss with your vets Scottsdale AZ during your pet’s wellness checks.
