What do we think of Parakeets?
For reasons that make sense to us all, DC wants a pet bird. While I am lobbying for a button quail, DC is leaning towards a parakeet... We have found a very reputable parakeet breeder so we would not be purchasing through a pet store..
We have pets, but no experience with birds. Any tips, ideas, suggestions, opinions, ect. are VERY much welcome...

The cage is SUPER easy to keep clean (he is the easiest pet we have). I change the paper and wipe down the cage once a week. DC changes water daily and food every couple of days. The biggest thing for us is to keep the wings clipped. DC is not confident enough to do it herself so we take him to the vet or the local independent pet store when the needs them clipped.
All in all, the parakeet is a great pet...
Hope this helps someone :).
What a good update! Glad the parakeet found a good match with your family.
