What is Parakeet?
[[File:Rose-ringed Parakeet Psittacula krameri male by Dr. Raju Kasambe DSCN8937 (2).jpg|thumb|right|250px|A Rose-ringed parakeet (''Psittacula krameri'')]] '''Parakeet''' is a name for any small to medium-sized [[species]] of [[parrot]], often with long tail [[feather]]s. Basically, it is a common term for a small parrot. Another term used in [[America]] for parakeets is '''conure'''. Parakeets breed better in groups, but are usually fine breeding in pairs. Having other parakeets encourages a pair to breed, which is why breeding in groups is more successful. However, many breeders choose to breed in pairs because that way they know which parents produced any given birds. If the parakeet does lay eggs, it produces about six to eight.
