Scarlet Chested Grass Parakeets

Scarlet Chested Grass Parakeets, Perfect Apartment Pets

Scarlet chested grass parakeets are the perfect apartment pets.  They are small, quiet, and beautiful, and can be companions just like any other birds.  Scarlet chested grass parakeets are gentle by nature.  They are often viewed as aviary birds, but when hand fed, they make sweet pet birds.

Appearance and Lifespan of Scarlet Chested Grass Parakeets

Scarlet Chested Grass Parakeets can live 10-15 years. The males have a royal blue head and a red chest. Females have more of an aqua blue on the head and do not get the red chest. Both have yellow on the lower front part of the body. They are a rainbow of colors.

  1. I have been looking for a while for a handfed scarlet-chested parakeet. Would you happen to have any available? I am located in northern Kentucky but have family in Indianapolis. I might be able to make the drive up to get a bird in the next several weeks. Or, I might be interested in possibly having the bird shipped… But only if that can be done safely! Please let me know! Thank you!!

  3. Hello. I am located in extreme Eastern Tenn. I have a 7 year old Amboina King Parrot.
    I am interested in either a Princess of Wales or Scarlet-Chested Parrakeet,
    hand-fed, male; and that for a bit later (in Autumn) this year. I will keep in
    touch with you on this. I do NOT like to ship birds so I would be driving up if
    we ever arrive at a bird sale. Thank you. PM

  16. HI
    I AM INTERESTED IN A MALE ( OR PAIR) SCARLET CHESTED GRASS PARAKEET. I HAVE A LARGE AVIAN CAGE (6X3X4) FT. I HAVE 2 COCKATIELS, 1 ENGLISH BUDGIE, AND 2 BOURKE PARAKEETS (LUTINO AND BLUE OPALINE). I WOULD PREFER A HANDRAISED, FRIENDLY GUY. I LOVE AND HANDLE MY BIRDS QUITE A BIT.

  18. I know you stated that you don’t currently have any Scarlets available, but do you think these birds typically make good pets if handfed? Would a handfed Princess of Wales be a better choice?

    Reply ↓

    • We have one scarlet chested baby in the nestbox currently. If handfed, yes, they can make good pets. However, a handfed Princess of Wales is probably a better choice if you want to possibly have a talker. They are also gentle by nature and males can be taught to talk in most cases. We have had people keep in touch to tell us that their males talk. Pam

  19. Thanks for the info. Is the Scarlet-Chested baby going to be handfed?

    Also, regarding the blue Princess of Wales parakeet, do you know if the males always develop the violet patch on their rump? The reason I ask is because I have noticed that in some of the photos of male blue POWs I have found on the internet, there is no violet patch. Do you know if this coloring usually doesn’t develop until after their first molt?

    • Margie,
      I would not put 2 hens with a male. They may or may not get along. I have done that with Rosey Bourkes, but not with scarlet chesteds. Pam Sysinger

  29. Hi,
    My name is Nicolette. My family and I are possibly interested in one of your Scarlet- chested Parakeets to join our family. We would like to learn more. Do you have any available? We are interested in a beautifully colored baby male. What is the youngest age we would be able to bring one home with us? Please let me know. Thank you!

  30. Hi Pam,

    I am checking if you have any male scarlet chested parakeets. I would be willing to put a down payment on one to secure it until they are old enough to sex and be picked up.

  31. Im just curious, Does anyone know how good of talkers the Scarlets are? My neighbor would like one but wants it to talk and Im not sure.

    • Josh,
      Scarlet chested grass parakeets are more aviary birdsssssss than talkers. I have never had one that talks. Pam Sysinger

  32. Hi! I may actually be interested in one of these. Do you have any available birds? I don’t believe in keeping animals in isolation so I would need at least two, preferably male and female to create my own mini-flock. I think that’s preferable than keeping just the one bird.

  34. Hi!

    I’m very interested in purchasing 2-4 scarlet chested parakeets to be housed together. I’d love for them to be hand raised. Is there any chance you would have any sometime soon?
    Thank you!
