Live Pets Transport — within 24 hours
€7 per order across Malta, excluding Gozo and Comino. We will contact you before delivery to agree a suitable handover. These parrots are available by arranged live-pet delivery only; collection and standard parcel, Instant and international shipping are not available for them. Please ensure someone is available to receive the bird safely. Contact us before ordering if you need to discuss the arrangement.
Preparing for your bird
Plum-headed parakeets are active, long-tailed birds that need generous flight space, suitable enrichment and patient handling. Young birds do not yet show their full adult head colour. Appearance at this age is not used here to assign a sex.
Prepare your setup with BirdsMalta
Explore bird and parrot cages, including the Calla cage and Parrot House play-top cage. Compare the usable enclosure dimensions, bar spacing and tail clearance for your species; a tall stand is not extra living space. Larger parakeets need generous flight space and may require a larger enclosure or aviary. Ask us for help selecting a suitable setup.
Browse ZuPreem Medium and ZuPreem Medium/Large diets, selecting a pellet size appropriate for the individual, together with foraging and chewing toys. Introduce any new food gradually and confirm suitability with us or your avian vet.
Settling in safely
Prepare the enclosure before delivery. Give your bird a calm settling-in period, a predictable routine and gentle, positive interactions. Semi-tame does not mean that a bird will immediately accept handling. Let it approach at its own pace; never chase, punish or force contact.
Keep a new bird separate from resident birds, ideally in another room, and arrange an avian veterinary check. Follow your vet’s quarantine advice before gradual, supervised introductions. Keep hands, bowls and equipment clean.
Food, enrichment & everyday safety
Ask us what the bird currently eats and change diets gradually. Provide fresh drinking water, a suitable balanced diet and appropriate fresh vegetables. Avoid an all-seed diet. Offer safe chewing and foraging activities, varied perches and supervised exercise in a secure room. Protect birds from smoke, aerosols, overheated non-stick cookware, open windows, fans and other pets. Allow a quiet, regular night’s rest.
Monitor appetite, droppings, activity and body weight. Persistent fluffed posture, unusual quietness, breathing difficulty or reduced eating need prompt avian veterinary attention; birds can hide illness.
Living animals, responsible care & returns
We do not offer voluntary change-of-mind returns on live birds. A bird’s future health and lifespan depend on many factors, including its care, environment and veterinary attention; no additional guarantee of longevity is given. To the extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for harm caused by unsuitable care or mishandling after handover. This does not exclude responsibility for our own acts or omissions or affect your statutory consumer rights. Please contact us promptly about a concern and seek advice from an avian vet where appropriate.
