A healthy grass parakeet is lively, has a cheeky streak in its eyes and loves to be heard. If it is ill, it will stay on the floor of its cage and sleep or put its head between its set up feathers by day. Warmth can do him well.
Not eating well, ball sitting, losing weight and bald spots are all indicators for consulting a veterinarian. Also excessive scratching, weakness and thin, strange coloured faeces are symptoms of illness.

It is good for the birdÂ’s health to let it fly from time to time. Do this at least 3 times a week, but it is best to do it every day. Make sure the grass parakeet does not fly against the window, by for example closing the curtains or net curtains.
