Pacific Parrotlets are playful, energetic, and fearless. They are also highly intelligent and social birds. With regular attention and training, they can learn tricks and even mimic words.
These small birds have big personalities. They can form strong bonds with their owners and often enjoy being handled. Many like 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 interaction and positive training can help manage these behaviors.
It is important to give your parrotlet plenty of toys. Toys that allow them to climb, swing, and hang can help keep them active. Mental stimulation is also important because bored parrotlets can become frustrated.
Although parrotlets are very small, they need enough space to move and exercise. A cage made for a parakeet may seem suitable. However, a larger cage designed for a lovebird or cockatiel is often a better choice.
Pacific Parrotlets can nest in both natural and artificial cavities. In the wild, they may use holes in trees, branches, fence posts, or telephone poles.
They may also use old mud nests or large stick nests made 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 keeping your parrotlet healthy. Suitable foods can include:
Fresh food should be clean and suitable for birds. Always provide fresh drinking water as well.
Some bird species are monomorphic. This means males and females look very similar, so their sex cannot be determined by appearance alone.
If there is no gender option listed for a bird on our website, the species may require DNA testing to determine its sex.
DNA testing costs an additional $149 per bird. It can help guarantee your preferred gender. Testing may also add 3 to 6 weeks or more to the estimated delivery time.
The extra time allows the DNA test results to be received before delivery. Please see our FAQs for more information about gender testing and delivery times.
