Moustache parakeet for Adoption
Moustached parakeets can make adorable pets when hand-fed as babies and properly socialized. However, they do tend to be more relaxed than the boisterous Indian ringneck parakeet Some owners of moustached parakeets report that their birds tend to act bossy or needy. They will demand an owner’s attention if they feel ignored. They are active, social creatures who love to spend time playing games and spend time with their owners.

My experience with The Parrot Shop was a very knowledgeable experience…I did my research for 2 years learning and preparing for my newfound love… I am happy to say of all places I found it at The Parrot Shop …It was love at first sight…. I went in to purchase a specific bird but immediately my new found love for another species flew to me and never left me! It was literally love at first sight! They are very easy to work with and I highly recommend them! Always and forever in love with my new companion⚘Thank you The Parrot Shop!

Their birds are very beautiful and nice. They take a lot of time to have the best quality of birds and the best personality of birds. I can tell they really love what they do and I highly recommend them. I got my baby Moustache Parakeet from them and he is the sweetest little bird on the planet!

I cannot express how pleased I am with these guys. I’ve personally watched how well these birds are treated and raised. The owners are very knowledgeable and extremely willing to share all that knowledge to ensure you have a successful relationship with your new friend.

J’ai acheté une belle caique de bébé pour ma fille ici. Ces oiseaux sont très soignés et le meilleur que vous puissiez obtenir. La volière mise en place est parmi les mieux vues et donc très propres. Leur service client est de premier ordre, si serviable et patient avec mes NOMBREUSES questions. Très informé. Vous ne regretterez pas d’avoir acheté votre prochain ajout de famille d’oiseaux ici. Vous obtiendrez un oiseau très heureux et en bonne santé! Vous pouvez dire que ce n’est tout simplement pas un «passe-temps» a timies Birds, mais une passion pour ces oiseaux. Je serai un client fidèle pour ma fille et moi-même. Merci d’avoir offert à notre famille une si belle expérience!
