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. You need to keep your pet out of the reach of little children and other pets like cats because they can hurt the bird or sometimes even kill it. The parakeet will sing but most of the time it is quiet. So if you like quiet pets, the parakeets is your kind of pet. If you live in an apartment, a parakeet can be a good pet for you because they don't need much room.
Parakeets are also fairly easy to take care of.
There are many different kinds of parakeets. Each kind of parakeet is a different color. Some parakeets are only one color, but others like the Pied parakeets are two different colors. The cinnamon parakeets are a cinnamon brown color. Another kind of parakeet is the graywing.
