Did you know that parakeets can range in sizes, which means their cages will also range in size based on the individual bird? Parakeets can range in size from 7 to 18 inches in length. If you are going to purchase a parakeet you will need to determine what size you are going to buy. For instance, the Alexandrine parakeet is the largest of parakeets and will require a much larger cage than perhaps a Rose-ringed parakeet. The general rule of thumb is to purchase a lead free cage that is twice the width of your particular parakeet’s wing span. Once you have the cage picked out, you should shop around for accessories. Your parakeet will need a water dish and a food dish. You will also need to buy a perch or two for inside the cage and outside the cage. Pet parakeets generally eat a commercial pellet food.
