Syrax and Caraxes are a bonded pair of parakeets looking for their forever home. They are pretty social with people, though they will still need some time to warm up. They will need a nice roomy cage with different levels and perches as well as toys, swings and cuttlebone to keep their beak trimmed. They will also need plenty of birdseed, being careful not to leave a bowl full of empty seeds. Parakeet favorite fruit treats include apples, pears, melon, kiwi, berries, grapes and oranges. Parakeets are social and need to live in pairs or flocks. Parakeets are intelligent creatures capable of picking up speech, becoming finger trained and so much more!
