Alexandrine parrot for sale
Common parakeet behavior includes mimicking sounds, beak grinding, puffing up or shaking out their feathers, chewing, and regurgitating food. Mimicking is a typical behavior of many types of parrots. Like most members of the parrot family, parakeets are excellent mimickers.
We regularly have Alexandrines in both young and mature birds.
The first thing you need to decide is on whether you want:
a young bird that will live in a cage and talk;
a young hand reared or handed tamed Alexandrine Parrot that will also talk, and will sit on your hand and come out of the cage and love your human attention; or
a mature pair to put outside in an aviary that could breed.
Once you have decided what type of Alexandrine you want, then we can recommend the best option.
A baby Alexandrine is a delicate little creature and to hand rear one takes a lot of care and nurturing time. Therefore, hand reared birds sell for a higher price than one that is reared by its parents.
The hand rearing process begins at about 3 weeks where we hand feed the baby a specialized formula five times throughout the day, including early morning and late night.
Their feathers are cleaned after each feed and their bedding is cleaned at least twice a day to ensure a healthy environment for their growth and wellbeing. And this is only the beginning. As they grow, they need handling and human interaction throughout the day which accustoms them to being part of the family.
Above is a brief description of the time and effort it takes to hand rear and tame a baby Alexandrine. It is a very dedicated six-week period for our hand rearers who love what they do.
