Parakeet

A really cute little bird often used as a pet. Often confused with the Budgie, Parakeets originate from Australia. In the wild, they usually have yellow and green feathers, to easily blend into the background. They primarily eat seeds, but fruits, vegetables, and other foods should be added for a more diverse diet. They are available in stores for green, blue, white, and some professional breeders have come up with even more colors. Parakeets are quieter than other birds, and are very soft and cute. In most places, they are available for 20 dollars, and will make a great companion for up to 15 years if taken care of properly.
