Lovebirds, they are one of the smallest species of parrot in the world. Parrotlets make ideal pets for those living flats or any residence where noise might be a factor as they are not loud enough to disturb neighbours and do not scream or squawk. Parrotlets have no problem entertaining themselves all day with their toys while their owner is at work or school, but when you return they expect to come out for a ride on a shoulder or hide in a pocket.
Although small they need a cage large enough to provide plenty of exercise and that can hold plenty of toys and perches. These toys should be rotated and replaced regular. They can learn to talk and are quite acrobatic when playing with toys or hanging by their beaks and toes. They have the personality of their larger cousins but cannot eat the dinning room table or the door frames. Celestial Parrotlets are beautiful coloured parrots that can come in vibrant shades of blue, yellow, green and also other colour mutations. A Parrotlet makes a wonderful companion and with good training can learn plenty of tricks such as fetch, playing dead, waving, shaking hand and
so on.
They eat much the same as Cockatiels, seed, pellets, vegetables, fruit, pasta, rice and clean water. Their normal life span is between 10-12 years but they are known to live for 18 years plus, some says as long as 30 years. When breeding is attempted the ideal size of nest box is 6 inches wide by 10 inches tall by 7 inches deep filled with 2inches of wood
shavings, hung on the
outside of the cage
looking in. 19-21 days
