Here's our gorgeous Alexandrine....ready to go to his forever home.He's 14 months old and very steady.

Alexandrine parrots, also known as Alexandrine parakeets, are medium-sized parrots native to parts of South Asia, particularly India and Myanmar. They are known for their striking appearance and charming personalities, making them popular choices for pet owners. Here are some key points about Alexandrine parrots as pets:

1. **Physical Characteristics**: Alexandrine parrots typically have a long tail, a green body, and a distinctive red or maroon patch on their wings. Males usually have a black neck ring that females lack, which is a key way to differentiate between the sexes.

2. **Temperament**: They are social and playful birds that thrive on interaction with their owners. Alexandrines can become very affectionate and can form strong bonds with their humans. However, they can also be somewhat independent.

3. **Intelligence and Training**: These parrots are quite intelligent and can learn a variety of tricks, phrases, and commands. With consistent and positive reinforcement training, they can be taught to talk and mimic sounds.

4. **Social Needs**: Alexandrine parrots are social animals and require plenty of interaction and mental stimulation. They do well in pairs or groups but can also thrive as single pets with sufficient owner engagement.

5. **Diet**: A balanced diet for an Alexandrine should consist of high-quality pellets, a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, and occasional seeds or nuts as treats.

6. **Housing**: They require a spacious cage with plenty of toys and perches to keep them entertained. Daily opportunities for out-of-cage time in a safe environment are essential for their physical and mental well-being.

7. **Lifespan**: With proper care, Alexandrine parrots can live for 20 to 30 years, so potential owners should consider their long-term commitment before bringing one into their home.

8. **Health Considerations**: Regular vet check-ups and a proper diet are crucial to their health. Watch for signs of stress or illness, and provide a suitable environment to keep them happy and healthy.

Overall, Alexandrine parrots can make wonderful pets for those who have the time and commitment to meet their social and environmental needs.
