A parakeet that escapes from its owner's home has no ability to find its way back. The farther it gets from its familiar surroundings, the greater its panic and the faster it flies. Like 90 percent of all birds, parakeets are monogamous. The basic colors of a parakeet's feathers are white, yellow, blue, green, and black. Yellow and blue parakeets are occasionally seen in the wild, but they probably do not live long because their conspicuous coloring makes than an easy target for predators.
Parakeets like to stretch the leg and wing of one side simultaneously.
This is equivalent to our stretching after having sat for a long time or after waking up. A parakeet will shake its feathers several times a day. This seems to provide relief from inner tension and also serves as a transition from one activity to another. To stay healthy, parakeets need adequate opportunity for climbing and flying, plenty of light and fresh air, and a well-balanced and varied diet.
