Fancy Parakeets are clever and colorful birds that make fun and entertaining pets. These beautiful birds enjoy bonding with their pet parents and can even learn tricks, like “step up” and “step down.” Learn more about these fascinating birds, their behaviors, and how to care for them in the sections below.
Experience Level: Beginner
Expected Size: Parakeets grow up to 7 inches (18 cm) from head to end of tail.
Lifespan: On average, parakeets live for 7 to 10 years.

My other parakeet was lonely, so I bought her and she is very sweet.
Gkbo (verified owner) –
I’ve had this bird about three weeks, she seems healthy. I would have preferred and paid more for a truly handfeed bird.

I bought this adorable little Budgie a few days ago and oh my goodness she is so sweet! If you want a cute friend to help you cope with anything you may be dealing with please remember the parakeet as an open option, they are absolutely brilliant!!

She is very happy and she loves millet and she is very playful and she chirps when she hears birds outside we had her for a month now she is very pretty!
Coral Fay (verified owner) –
We love our Parakeet which we believe is a male due to the blue around his nostrils. He is a pretty bird and is pleasant company for a female Parakeet that we already had. We named him, “Kai” meaning sea, to go with the other bird named, “Skye” meaning cloud.
Missing bluey (verified owner) –
Blue parakeet joined our family recently. Poor baby died after 7 days! Kids were heartbroken. He was small and thin when we got him so I wonder if he was sick now that I think back. Very traumatizing experience
Nisakat (verified owner) –
The budgie we purchased is beautiful and very friendly. The first night we had it, it trusted us enough to sit on our hand.

Bought two budgies over a year ago.. One named “kiki” other “lazuli” some reason kiki always bit and he died in october..I want to know where petsmart get’s their birds
kalakalaticky (verified owner) –
The parakeet was the color I wanted (in fact I had the choice of two identical ones, couldn’t tell them apart so asked for either one.) There was quite a variety of colors for anyone who prefers a different choice. My new bird seems fine and healthy.
Hilleraz (verified owner) –
I am so enjoying her. My one passed away after 6yrs and my other one was lonely. So the 2 are getting to know each other.
Kilou (verified owner) –
Love our new parakeet “Pickles”. Hoping our other bird will warm up to him a little more. Pickles is a sweet bird, with a sweet song and lovely chirp and sometimes on the quiet side. The only thing is that I forgot to ask how old he was when I got him. Like to keep track of the ages of my birds.

We picked out a mellow young bird and am very happy with him. The store assistants were very knowledgable and handled the bird very carefully. We did go back to the same store for another parakeet for that reason.

We bought 2 parakeets first then added 2 more they are truly wonderful birds brings awesome sounds to our home and enjoy watching them
Ezra (verified owner) –
To start with, I bought a parakeet from pet smart. I was happy to have a beautiful yellow parakeet for my another parakeet as a buddy and was so excited. Finally thought he will have a friend to play with. But to my disappointment when I released the parakeet from the box, she could hardly fly. Then I checked that her feathers were all trimmed and she couldn’t take a flight and would fall on the floor.
Secondly, the parakeet was so malnourished and very thin and lean. It looks like she doesn’t have the stamina at all to fly or to play even. Had to feed her properly for couple of days and now almost going to be a month, her feathers started growing up, which I think would be fully grown in a year or two and she has become healthy, Chirps and play.
So disappointment that petsmart like brand doesn’t take care of the little budgies and do not feed them well. I was shocked to see her feathers cut and trimmed. Not a great experience but the only 1 star is the parakeet that I got from them.
Kans (verified owner) –
I bought the cutest little baby parakeet. I hope he’s a boy but to young to tell yet. He is just so cute and sweet.
Guy with a bird (verified owner) –
Whoever supplies the budgies to my city’s (Ottawa) must be an excellent breeder. I’ve had my budgie for a year and a half now and he’s like a little stitch – always stuck to me! He’s a yellow ‘recessive pied’, meaning he’s mostly yellow, with variable black markings on his wings and back.

Great little bird. It’s active, chirps and whistles Very happy with purchase.
mmorton2000 (verified owner) –
I’ve made a review on here before but I wanted to make another one. I had two parakeets named Sophie & Poppy. I bought two more yesterday and named them Blueberry & Sammy. I just want to say that every parakeet is different and just because they were on my hand in these pictures doesn’t mean they’re tame by any means. Taming them takes patience. Since they’re from a pet store they’re of course not going to be hand fed or anything like that. They take a lot of commitment and I wouldn’t recommend them if you can’t commit to them. They’re beautiful, yes, but they also need care and love just like any other animal. I love them very much <3
Colmcq (verified owner) –
I bought my second parakeet to be a companion to my first one. They are wonderful friends and I am happy watching them fly around their big cage and have fun.

Cleeroy7 (verified owner) –
We got 2 fancy parakeets for my daughter and she was absolutely thrilled well one ended up dying suddenly, not sure what happened but petsmart in Flowood was AWESOME they worked with me and gave me a refund for the one who did pass as it was in the 14 day window, the other one was very shy until it’s friend passed now she steps up and absolutely loves to play with her owner! I say she it is probably a he but my daughter cried all day over the one with the blue on it as he or she took to her right away but snow the solid white one is still with her and bringing her lots of joy in her sad time
Vzoey (verified owner) –
I bought my daughter another parakeet on Sunday she was so excited to have another parakeet join her other on that she originally had but something was a bit off on the new parakeet was so quiet the feathers looked very puffy it wouldn’t perked and would stay just in one corner and on Monday my little one went to see her parakeet it had died she was just nonstop crying. I called and where able to I give her another one but it is no longer the same.
mmorton2000 (verified owner) –
I bought two. My white, purple and blue girl (Sophie) and my green girl (Poppy). Sophie is a bit more reserved and shy, but I’m sure once I’m able to tame her (it’s a long process) she’ll open up. Poppy is talkative and very responsive. They love their mirrors, treats and being talked to/whistled at. I plan to buy more here very soon. They’re the best❤️
Stewart (verified owner) –
Wasn’t many birds to choose from but he was yellow (ish) my daughter wanted a yellow bird
The only age information they had was he was less than 1 year old. Due to the lack of lines on his head he’s not a baby that’s all we know.

We loved our parakeet. He was so sweet. Sadly, he only lived 6 days. Looking back at how sleepy he was during the day, we think he was sick when we got him. We will try another and really hope it will be healthy.

Saddddd (verified owner) –
We didn’t even have her for two weeks and we had bought everything needed to make her a great life and she died this morning. Absolutely devastating to myself and my children. She was small and puffy and come to find out that is a sign of sickness. They had four or five in one small cage. We thought she was going to be a loving family bird and didn’t even get to have her for two weeks

I recently lost a parakeet for my existing parakeet. I decided to buy an identical colored one for Gertie who is bright yellow. The “new” one is named: Gladys. She is adjusting well to her new home and is “filling out”.
Reta T (verified owner) –
His name is Lyle Lovett and his new best friend is Roy Orbison and they are getting along great! Lyle is a little bit darker than sky blue, and Roy is aqua. Lyle escaped as I was putting him into the cage and had a brief blast flying around in my living room. Luckily he tired himself out after a couple hours and I used my clear acrylic cake keeper to catch him and get him safely in with his new buddy. They are both quite happy now and so am I and my 11 pound doggie. We’re a happy family of 4 and Lyle and Roy are the new entertainment around here, not the greatest of singers but pretty good as comedians!

I bought this little white parakeet for a black ddt to make my other parakeets. Very lively and inquisitive, chirping around in the cage.
Handino (verified owner) –
Ok I have to say that for the price it’s fair but not for other things like clipping birds wings when they shouldn’t really do that and they don’t even know if the birds in the store are males or females so whatever your pick is you don’t even know if your getting a male or female and if your buying two birds you might end up with two males or two females
Bigyfrd (verified owner) –
Great selections! Friendly employees! Easy to go there.
Tweety (verified owner) –

My second bird name is Sunfire, he’s not as social and very skittish, but get’s along with Aura very well, he’s playful and healthy…..This one going to take some time to bond with and patience, they already get along with my 2 year old birds and they all bonded perfectly

This parakeet seemed very healthy and was very sweet but he was way too young to be available for sale in my opinion. His beak and toenails were still black. He exhibited weird behavior, which I assume is due to his young age and confusion.

I bought 2 weeks ago and they are getting along so well with my other parakeet who lost its partner about a week before I purchased these guys. I was just going to get one parakeet but the one I wanted had another parakeet that was always along side it so I didn’t want to break them apart. So I broke down and bought both I didn’t have the heart to separate the two birds. So happy I did.

MarcyS (verified owner) –
I’ve only had this little guy for about 10 days but I’m already attached. I was able to get him to step up just this morning, which is really fast for a bird that has not been hand raised. He’s sweet, eats well, and seems very healthy. Once the quarantine period is up I’ll be excited to see how he interacts with my other very young male.

Bogwalker (verified owner) –
I am glad that I bought this pair of parakeets rather than just one single bird. They play with each other and help each other out in their new environment. I did not realize when I bought them that they had clipped wings and was not told. So having each other to rely on is helpful. The feathers will grow back in time.

She is so cute. I love her coloring and she often talks to our other bird, even if they are in other rooms! The only problem is that she is very nervous and won’t let me pet her yet, but I think she’s just newer to her surroundings and will get used to me eventually.

I bought her about a week or so ago to replace another female budgie that passed away. It took her a couple of days to get comfortable with her new surroundings and the male budgie in the cage. Now she is very playful and has found her chirp. She is still very cautious when I’m around the cage but that’s understandable.

Very nice and charming.

While looking them over, I kept going back to this gorgeous yellow parakeet who was playing with one of the toys, all the rest were doing their own thing, it was like, you’re it. Best decision ever. My Spirit (white one) was so lonely, he had lost his companion last month. Sol (Spanish for sun) was going to be called Luna, (Spanish for moon) but I decided to change his name because he looked more like a ray of sunshine. Sol is simply a delightful parakeet, at first it was like, let’s decide who’s the boss… ok, mom’s the boss, that’s settled. Spirit has shown Sol the boundaries of where they can fly, and Sol has shown Spirit how to play with the toys, which Spirit wasn’t really into before. Through all the many years of having & researching different parakeets, I will tell you one thing, unless that’s what you want, I will never get a male and female parakeet again, the excessive breeding, puts a toll on the female, forget about all the cleaning and caring for all these little birds, that look like bald tiny chickens in the beginning, cute, but the work is not worth the trouble. I have read and learned that it is better to have two males, they get along better as buddies, they really do. I love my shorties; they are awesome to have.

I bought 2 parakeets this month for my daughter because her other two passed away on the same morning earlierthismorning. She now loves the two new ones, but is still grieving.

My fancy parakeet is a beautiful bird & seems healthy. She is completely unsocialized so I can not handle her. I play harp music & talk to her. She is less worried now that 9 days have passed. She eats but doesn’t play with her toys or chirp. Other people told me I might have to wait a month or more for her to settle in.

I bought my new Parakeet from your store. He is very adventurous and active. He is a welcome addition to our home. We have other parakeets and he is getting acquainted with them.

This is the third parakeet that I have adopted from PetSmart. I have heard negative comments about ‘petstore’ birds being untamable and untrainable, but this little guy is already sitting on my finger and letting me carry him around the room after only 10 days. It really depends upon the temperament of the bird. I’m very happy with this little guy!

I dont know where petsmart sources their parakeets from, but every store I’ve checked has the prettiest healthiest budgies that are easily twice the size of all other pet store parakeets. I have 3 from petsmart and adore them. The cages are always pristine as well.

They are sweet yet feisty when you move them in make a small hole in the pet smart box. Then encourage them to go box to cage against each other. so they don’t fly away. They hopped on my hand but I was afraid to let them in the open air for first day. They only gave love bites if you man handle them I didn’t want to apply pressure so fragile. I let them walk thier self in the new cage box to cage. I did all this in the car/suv small enclosed space. Once they got settled at home the sang bit not annoyingly just a little sweet chirp, and they rang the bell that I bought them. They didn’t get aggressive even with my dogs barking a bit their Chihuahuas so they’re jelly a bit. I just put them in a separate area the Chihuahuas. They appear to like each other they came from the same lot they give each other beak kisses and Preening. They like soft modern contemporary music. I moved the incense and candles that I had to the bathroom. I don’t smoke thank God the candles need to bees wax only preferably do not lit them only use a candle warmer. they’re susceptible to strong odors and scents. Please research your new pet. Unless in a complete pitch dark room, they need to be covered at night. Meet Lilly and star male and female. Welcome home! I will buy them more things Friday this is just to get them started. Happy little birds I can’t wait for a decade to come with them.

bought my fancy parakeet a couple weeks ago and named it Victoria, it plays well with my other bird and so enjoy watching both interact together.

This little girl is not only gorgeous but has a very sweet temperament. She gets along with my other bird well. I bought another fancy parakeet from the same store 7 years ago and she just passed away.

They are a joy. I recently loss a dear budgie that we had for over a year. Adding these two has made my heart feel better. They adjusted so well to my other parakeets and are super sweet.

We bought a fancy parakeet to keep our other parakeet company. The fancy parakeet was very friendly and healthy. Does not bite even when scared.

I love my new parakeet. She is very pretty and her coloring is very unique. She is the second parakeet we added to our home, and both of them are from PetSmart. They are both healthy birds and don’t require very much experience or commitment.

Got them a week ago but have had my eye on this pair for a while as I work at the store I bought them from and was with them since the moment they came in, they are not hand tamed yet but love talking and singing to me and are in the process of repeating little noises they hear me make. They are already a bonded pair and it’s adorable seeing them interact with each other.

We wanted to get new birds for our home after our canary died – we thought we would get a new canary but when we saw the budgies we decided on them, we got two They are very happy, healthy and with incredible colour- now at home they are very happy, playful and great to have. the staff was fantastic answering our questions, helping us select the birds and getting them ready to transport home – just an all-around awesome experience

They’re both beautiful happy active birds. I was told they were not friendly but they’re getting tamer every day.

I bought little Jerry to perk up my other parakeet Leo. And it did the trick! Leo is so happy to have a buddy now.
