HANDLING YOUR PARAKEET
Indian ring-necked parakeets are very intelligent birds who require a large amount of attention. They can be very tame, but if left alone they will very quickly become difficult to handle.
They are not advised for children as they do not like loud noises and lots of movement. Given the right conditions, this animal will bond with its owner and this will last for life.
