Parakeets have as many variations of their breed as there are varieties of their color. Parakeets means "small parrots".
Hawk Headed
The most intriguing characteristic of this bird is the elongated feather on its nape. When raised, these feathers form a beautiful, erictile ruff. In South America, Hawkheads are known as red fan parrots, and indeed, each deep crimson crest feather is broadly barred at the tip in brilliant blue, creating a colorful fan when raised. The scalloping in the Hawkhead's headdress, though colored, is similar to that on the crest feathers of many hawks, hence the name.
Diet
Almost all parrot species eat fruits, vegetables, chicken and a lot of seeds. Most parrot species tend to become moody and begin to pluck their feathers if they are not in the right state of mind or if they are unhealthy.
Cages
Cages are as important as parrot breeding. A parrot begins to relax in a new house when it finds its cage comfortable and spacious. Please size your parrot cages so that your bird has plenty of moving-around space. There should be space for toys. The smaller the cage, the more out-of-cage exercise the parrot should get. Parrot cages come in a variety of designs, suited to the needs of individual parrots.
