BOURKE
Known as a very sweet, gentle, and good-natured species, Bourke's Parakeets make good pets when hand fed as babies, which allows them to bond with their human caretakers. These are intelligent birds but are also mellow and quiet, especially compared to other parrot species.
Like other Australian parrots, Bourke's Parakeets living in captivity have relatively long lives, with many living as long as 25 years.To properly feed a pet Bourke's Parakeet in captivity, owners should offer their birds a small parrot seed mix meant for Budgies and birds of similar size. This diet should be supplemented with a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables daily to provide the bird with balanced nutrition.
