parakeets need partners or they get very lonely when your out of the room,shool,work,ect.
yes
yes you do
it really depends on what type of parakeet you have and what environment they live in...they need to have a friendly and not mean mate too..
If, by "parakeet", you mean any of the smallish parrots with long tails, such as budgies or cockatiels, then no, it most certainly does not have to be the same colour.
Parakeets are flock birds, they need to have a companion.Your parakeet must be depressed or it cannot get babies since there is a likelihood that it is barren.
Well, you should give them two separate food and water dishes. If that does not work, you may need to separate the birds at feeding time.
Parakeets like other parakeets. In the wild many birds are in one flock. I'd say your best bet is to get another Parakeet if you want it to get a different bird a cockatiel would be okay. age and sex matters and you need to get them at the same time or they fight because the old bird thinks it's his/her turf. If you already have a parakeet you should get another parakeet.
It is in the best interested of your pet to not feed it food that is meant for chickens. It lacks vitamin D and the parakeet diet doesn't need the protein and fibers that are in chicken feed.
Well parakeets need to be out of their cage for t least an hour a day, you can have it out longer but if your bird is one that does not like to be messed with I would suggest letting it on top of the cage and carring it just occasionaly.
Unless the parent finches are getting mad, you don't need to worry about it. It's common if you have a bird in the parrot family, such as a parakeet, it will feed the smaller birds. They will commonly imitate you in how they treat small birds. For example if you say "here buddy" when you feed your bird, it is possible it will feed smaller birds while imitating you saying "here buddy".Additionally parakeet food is bigger seeds, but still similar enough in nutritional value that finches can eat parakeet food and vice versa.It's the same thing as if you have a cockatiel and add a parakeet. The cockatiel will likely treat the parakeet like a pet or else a baby cockatiel.
It maybe felt territorial and felt a need to protect itself.
Parakeets need toys, a cage, food, perch, ladder, and food and water containers.
