Parakeets make really good house pets for some people.
People need to take some responsibility for owning and caring for parakeets. Parakeets need a cage because if you don't have a cage, it can fly outside. If a parakeet stays outside for a long time, it can die because of the temperature. If parakeets get outside they can get attacked by predators such as rats and raccoons. You might want to get two parakeets instead of just one because if you have only one, it will get lonely most of the time.
