Common questions
How much does a Lineolated Parakeet cost?
Most Lineolated Parakeets listed on BirdBreeders.com in the last twelve months were priced between $400 and $600, with a midpoint around $500. That is drawn from 17 real listings by breeders on this site over that period, not an estimate. Price varies with age, hand-feeding, DNA sexing and the breeder's location.
How long do Lineolated Parakeets live?
Lineolated Parakeets typically live 10-15 years in good conditions. That is a long commitment for any household, and worth planning for before buying rather than after.
How loud are Lineolated Parakeets?
Fairly quiet. Noise is the most common reason parrots are rehomed, so it is worth being honest with yourself about your home, your neighbours and the hours you keep before choosing a species.
Do Lineolated Parakeets talk?
Occasional words. No individual bird can be promised to speak, whatever the species is known for, so buy for the company rather than the conversation.
What size cage does a Lineolated Parakeet need?
A minimum of 24in x 18in x 24in, and wider matters more than taller - birds fly across rather than up. Treat any minimum as a floor rather than a target.
Are Lineolated Parakeets good for a first-time owner?
Fairly easy. Ask any breeder directly what they think of the match - a breeder who talks you out of a species is worth more than one who does not.
Do Lineolated Parakeets produce a lot of dust?
Low. It matters more than most people expect for anyone with asthma, and it is worth raising with a doctor before buying rather than afterwards.
