Parakeets prefer non-round cages.
As with any bird, the bigger the cage the better. The perches should be of various diameters for optimal foot health. Try to provide at least three different perches on three different levels. Wood perches are better than plastic perches. Parakeets enjoy chewing and can ingest some of the plastic.
