Care guide
Life with an Alexandrine parakeet
What they eat
Pellets and a quality seed mix, with daily fresh vegetables, greens and some fruit.
Their home
A long flight cage — that tail needs room — with sturdy perches and time to fly each day.
Time & attention
Calm and gentle once bonded. Regular, patient handling keeps an Alexandrine tame and chatty.
We'll go through all of this with you in person, too — bring your questions to the meetup.
