These small birds have big personalities. They can form strong bonds with their owners and often enjoy being handled. Many like being petted or scratched. They may also enjoy riding on a shoulder or sitting in a pocket.
Parrotlets can sometimes become moody or jealous. They may also show hormonal behavior during the breeding season. Regular attention and positive training can help manage these behaviors.
Provide plenty of toys to keep your parrotlet active. Toys for climbing, swinging, and hanging can provide valuable exercise. They also help prevent boredom.
Although Pacific Parrotlets are very small, they need enough space to move and play. A parakeet-sized cage may seem suitable. However, a cage designed for a lovebird or cockatiel is often a better choice.
Pacific Parrotlets can nest in natural or artificial cavities. In the wild, they may use holes in trees, branches, fence posts, or telephone poles.
They can also use old mud nests and large stick nests built by other birds.
A female usually lays between 4 and 6 eggs, although she may lay more. The incubation period is about 17 days.
A balanced diet is important for your parrotlet. Suitable foods can include:
Always provide fresh drinking water. Fresh foods should also be clean and suitable for birds.
Some bird species are monomorphic. This means males and females look very similar, making it difficult to determine their sex by appearance.
If there is no gender option listed for a bird on our website, DNA testing may be needed to determine its sex.
DNA testing costs an additional $149 per bird. Testing may add 3 to 6 weeks or more to the estimated delivery time. This allows time for the sample to be processed and the results to be received.
Please see our FAQs for more information about DNA testing and delivery times.
