One of the first things to get when buying a new parakeet is his/her home.
If you are just getting 1 parakeet a cage in the size of 18 X 18 X 22 should be a wonderful home for your
new bird. Also make sure that the bar spacing is no bigger than 1/2 of an inch.
You would not want your feathered friend getting their head stuck!
Please do not go smaller… bigger is always better. Get the biggest cage that you can afford. Your bird is going to be spending some time in
its cage so it will need the most room allowed for flapping & climbing.
This is a great cage for 1 bird:

When thinking about getting 2 or more parakeets you will have to think really big.
I have 7 parakeets & I house them in a cage that is 24 X 24 X 32. Even this is getting small. Soon I will be getting
them a cage that is 32 X 21 X 32
This is there cage now:
a good cage for 4 to 6 parakeets |
|
size 24 X 24 X 32 |
Having parakeets as pets is so much fun. You will end up having as much fun as I do.
When keeping this many, please keep in mind that in order to keep the fighting down & everyone happy, you
will need a good size home for this many keets.
a great cage for 6 to 8 keets |
