The kitchen is a good room, or the living room. Anywhere that the family is going to spend lots of time and can talk and interact with the budgie is a good spot.
Parakeets, commonly referred to as budgerigars or budgies, are not currently considered endangered and are widely kept as pets around the world. Their population is stable in the wild, particularly in Australia, where they are native. However, some specific species of parakeets may face threats due to habitat loss and the pet trade. Overall, the general status of parakeets remains secure, but it's essential to monitor individual species for conservation needs.
