Parakeets are a wonderful choice of pet bird, as they are low maintenance, friendly, and great for beginners. As a single pet, a parakeet is great, has a friendly disposition, and will bond strongly with their owner. However, parakeets are best kept in pairs because they are highly social little birds. This will also help keep them occupied and happy while you’re not at home. While parakeets may be known as beginner birds that are easy to look after, owning a bird is still a large responsibility that should not be taken lightly. Parakeets are less demanding than larger birds, but they still need as much attention and care as possible. In this book “PARAKEETS CARE FOR NOVICES”, I will be teaching you everything you need to know on how to care, feed, groom, house, handle, cost, health and helpful tips on how to raise parakeets as pets.
