Lineolated Parakeet cage and daily life
Provide a cage at least 24 x 18 x 24 inches (60 x 45 x 60 cm) with 1/2 inch bar spacing, plus 2-3 hours out of the cage and chew toys. They are less flight-crazy than budgies but still need climbing room. Keep away from kitchens (Teflon/PTFE fumes are fatal).
Common mistakes with Lineolated Parakeets
Common errors are seed-heavy diets causing fatty liver, nonstick-fume or toxic-food exposure, and assuming they need no enrichment because they are calm (they still chew and forage). Underestimating the 10-20 year commitment leads to rehoming.
