These brightly-colored Asian and African parakeets are often kept as aviary birds, but they’re making their way into homes as pets with their grace and social nature. Psittacula parakeets earned a reputation as nippy, noisy birds, but their owners are fiercely loyal to them, pointing out their good qualities, such as their easy-going and independent nature.
Fourteen species make up the Psittacula genus, but the plum-headed, ring-necked, Alexandrine and moustached parakeets are the most common species kept as pets in the United States.
