A well-balanced diet of seeds, pellets, fruits, and vegetables keeps them healthy. Unlike dogs or cats, they don’t need much grooming—just occasional nail trims and beak care.

Parakeets are also cost-effective pets. Their food, toys, and accessories are affordable, and they have fewer medical needs compared to larger pets. With proper care, they can live up to 10-15 years, providing long-term companionship.
