Today is Earth 🌍 Day: love and respect Animals, invest in love and friendship with pets. My six newborn lutin Ring-Necked Parakeets playing in the garden. Macro ph. by #WhiteANGEL #LimitEdition 12

            For the Earth Day (April 22), one of my Limited Editions, to delight friends, visitors, birds & parrots enthusiasts: my very best photo of the newly born siblings: Charlotte, Avanti, Pablito, Fernando, Aleandro, Valentina. Here, they are playing and chatting in the garden, looking at me so tenderly and almost camouflaged in the meadow among the wild yellow flowers.
They just  had their 2nd month birthday, Fernando, the oldest, is 70 days old today. In the future, in less than one month, their first moulting will be completed and they will appear in all their splendour, although I find them already beautiful :-)
Up-dates: the babies can all fly now but are not yet weaned although they begun to independently eat seeds but still need few more weeks hand feeding with baby food too. 
Hand feeding domestic birds helps them a lot to develop confidence, trust humans and never be frightened by them, which is fairly fair if humans want to live with parrots. Of course, treating them as honorable members of the family and this also means that, when the owners are on holiday, they will come together and be on holiday too!

Ring-Necked Parakeets  (Psittacula Kameri), are not meant to live neither in cages nor in aviaries. If you project to adopt one or two, prepare to give them spare time free in your home to fly and feel at ease, in much larger spaces than aviaries. Then, for eating and sleeping they can stay in a large cage, I would discourage aviaries for sanity and hygienic reasons: they need a super clean environment. Cages must be cleaned many times in the week, they always need fresh new water, lots of fruits, legumes, lettuce, good corn, cereals, mineral salts and, of course, lots of seeds. 
And they need safe toys, ladders and swings, because they need and love to play and exercize !

A Parakeet can be a great friend for pet therapy or as a life companion. Parrots are pure joy, provided they are loved, cared and respected.  There are many fake legends on Parakeets, as for instance that they can repeat sounds but not speak: I have a couple of Parakeets who can speak very well, the male, Achille, can also sing, whistle tunes and jingles, dance and perform in many ways,  like sending sounding kisses (his own private initiative, lol), and the female, Agnese, can speak as well as him. She, though, prefers to be in the audience when Aki performs his ballets... He says "Gimme little kiss" to Agnese and she replies with a true kiss and viceversa ;-) And he does with me too! When on my shoulder, he taps his beak on my cheek, speaks and ask me a kiss and then he comes close to my lips and give me many sonorous kisses but also wants to be reciprocated :-)
Parakeets are very social and interactive indeed ! They have feelings and the great thing is that they are able to express them !
