If you are looking for a smaller bird which doesn’t create a lot of noise the kakariki is a great choice as a pet. Although quiet, they can come out with a range of noises, words and imitations which make them great fun to live with. They are intelligent and able to learn words quickly so you can teach this cheeky bird a range of words and phrases. They also live around 15-20 years which is a lot less than a larger parrot but still a considerable commitment.
As pets, kakarikis are great fun and have really entertaining personalities. Being intelligent, they are able to learn words and mimic a lot of sounds including your favorite songs. They are also just as lovable as they look and like to cuddle up to their owners.
Of course, with such perky personalities they’ll need plenty of attention to keep them entertained so make sure you spend time playing with them and give them a range of toys to keep them occupied when they’re alone. Like most birds, the kakariki bird needs a few hours a day out of the cage and almost constant stimulation to avoid boredom so it is important to introduce new toys to them regularly.
They particularly like toys made out of paper or acrylic which they’ll enjoy shredding up. A lot of these toys you can make at home with some simple material. Kakariki parrots can bond closely with their owner so it is important to socialize them with the whole family if you want them to form bonds with more than one person.
So, should you adopt a kakariki? If you are a first-time bird owner, the kakariki makes a great choice of pet because it is relatively easy to care for and breed.
If you are looking for a bird that won’t cause too much hassle, this is one of the best options out there but remember that adopting any type of parrot is still a big commitment.
