Bourkes Parakeet
SKU: PET-1082
A gentle, quiet parakeet with beautiful pink and brown plumage — perfect for peaceful homes.
Bourke's Parakeet is one of the most gentle and quiet parakeet species, making them ideal companions for those who prefer a calmer bird. Their beautiful pink and brown feathers, with soft rosy underparts, give them a warm, elegant appearance unlike any other parakeet. Bourke's are most active during dawn and dusk (crepuscular), which means they tend to be calm during the day and briefly active in the morning and evening. They are sweet-natured, rarely bite, and can be tamed with gentle, patient handling. While not known for talking, they have a pleasant, melodious chirp that is never loud or intrusive. They are perfect for apartments, bedrooms, or any environment where noise is a concern. Lifespan is 15–25 years with proper care.
Diet
Quality finch or small parakeet seed mix supplemented with fresh greens (spinach, endive), sprouted seeds, and occasional fruits. They prefer seeds over pellets but benefit from a mixed diet.
