Species-appropriate husbandry – How to make them feel comfortable
Keeping Them Together
Splendid parakeets should be kept in pairs at minimum. Keeping them individually is not species-appropriate and can lead to behavioral disorders.
Structured Aviary
The aviary should be at least 300 × 100 × 200 cm (L × W × H). For up to two additional pairs, a 50% increase in floor space is required. The setup should include natural branches, perches, and sheltered sleeping areas.
Daily Free Flight
A free flight space of at least 8 m³ is required for up to three pairs. The space should be designed to be safe and structured to support their natural urge to move.
Bathing and Sand Bath Opportunities
Splendid parakeets require regular bathing opportunities for feather care. Both water and sand baths should always be accessible.
Cleanliness & Hygiene

Thoroughly Weekly
