Can I give a parakeet as a gift?
Parakeets certainly make great gifts, especially to a person who has been eagerly awaiting one. They are terrible gifts though for people who are not up to the task of providing care (food, water, cage cleaning) on a daily basis. Please keep this in mind when gifting a parakeet to a friend or family member -- for the sake of both the parakeet as well as your loved one.
