Fresno and Shishito Parakeet Parakeet (Other) Bellingham, WA

Hi, our names are Fresno and Shishito! Here is what would work best for us in our new home:
-Personality: Undersocialized, big talkers!
-Lifespan: 15-20 years!
-Can live with kids: Yes, but they can't be our primary caretaker
-Experienced Bird home: Not required, but we recommend doing plenty of research if they'll be your first parakeets!
-Can live with other Birds: Yes, Parakeets are naturally flock birds
-Bite History: No
-Additional information: Fresno and Shishito have not had much in the ways of handling so they will need lots of patience and attention to get them socialized. Each bird needs a nice roomy cage with different levels and perches as well as toys, swings and cuttlebone to keep their beak trimmed. Each bird will 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 very social and love to live with a companion. If they are the only one in the cage, they must be handled daily without fail. Parakeets are capable of picking up speech, becoming finger trained and so much more!
