[quote=Anonymous]I've had parakeets almost my whole life. They are fairly low-maintenance (but you must get at least 2 or more as they are social animals and will be very depressed alone) but can be dirty if you do not keep the cage cleaned every day. Mainly it is feathers, dust, and seed hulls. They need fruits and vegetables, something to chew on, cuttle bones, in addition to the seeds and water. They can be placed outside on a shady, temperate (not too hot or cold) day on a porch for a few hours but you must bring them in on time; never let them sit in the sun. They really enjoy being outside very much. You can also learn to handle them/let them fly around indoors. Their poop is fairly easy to clean up and not a big deal. No odors. A fair amount of noise but no screeches, just a constant chatter that you'll be subjected to constantly when they are active.[/quote]
