the textual content books say 6-8 yrs yet wat do they understand the puppy shops dont even take sturdy care of their animals. In regularly happening, parakeets stay round ten yrs with ideal care ad possibly extra. I own 15 and performance had many come and flow, yet I have had a pair stay to be 16 yrs previous (particular care tips-take them outdoors and they could even devour grass and make certain they have vegatables and end result and enable them out of the cage, if their wings are trimmed, parakeets have a fashion of teaching themselves to stay on the cage) millet stalks, cuddle bones, mineral blocks, and different cope with sticks are mandatory. What I have done is my parakeets have a significant nutrients dish and then they have an aspect dish of fruit and veggie seed it somewhat is presented in a pink lidded field u get at petco or petsmart nad they prefer it-it really is sooo sturdy for them. through ways, ur parakeet received't stay lengthy through itself, u favor to have a spouse so continually have 2-prewferably male and woman. p.s. make certain they continually have clean water. ;)
