First, you should get two at a young age. That should keep them from getting bored.
Second, they shouldn’t be pulling their feathers out. Once a year, some birds molt, and that’s fine, they won’t have very many feathers for a while. on the other hand, some don’t molt at all. just make sure they aren’t pulling their feathers out.
that’s about all I know. lol

i don’t know much or parakeets but i went to a web sit for birds hope it helps i know how much a pet means.
A regular checkup of their plumage – birds keep their plumage in peak condition by preening. You can encourage this by occasionally misting it with warm water.

Selecting the right cage for your parakeet – choose a cage that is large enough to allow it plenty of exercise. Most cages come with 2 perches. For more specialized caring for parakeets, you can attach a cuttlebone to the side of the cage. It will help keep the bird’s beak in good condition and will serve as a source of calcium and other minerals.

A proper and adequate diet – this is the single most notable aspect in shaping the health, vitality, and permanence of your parakeet. Give them leafy green vegetables, rice, tofu, some seeds and fruits like orange and papaya. These would give them all the required nutrients to keep them healthy.

Regular bathing of your parakeet – give your parakeet a regular shower of 5-7 times a week in the summer and 3-5 times a week during the winter. This routine will help you keep your parakeet clean and avoid skin related diseases.

Proper grooming of your parakeet – proper and regular trimming of the toenails is very essential. Consult a veterinarian if you wish to clip its wings.

Lack of parakeet care can result in feather plucking, moody and ill-trained parakeets at home. It is always a good idea to know what injuries and what diseases can affect your parakeet, what is the ideal diet for a parakeet, how many times a week should you give it a bath. These would help you undertake foolproof caring for your pet parakeets.

A healthy parakeet is more likely to be immune to diseases and can stay around for a long time to make you laugh, make you entertained and give you a moment to smile…

Its fairly simple to tell a healthy bird.
1. They are active.
2. They have a good appetite.
3. Their eyes are bright.
3. They keep their feathers groomed neatly.

As for the fruits and veggies, many birds do not like fresh ones, but will love dried fruits and veggies or cooked ones.

Dried fruits such as raisin, prunes ,dates, banana chips, cranberries, apricots , or cherries are fairly easy to find in grocery stores. Dried veggies are a little more rare, but you should at least be able to find dried crushed hot peppers in the spice section. Birds will love them ! Meanwhile it is easy to dry veggies such as lettuce, green pepper slices, cabbage, or carrot sticks. Dry them in a dehydrator , or use your oven set at 100 degrees until the items are completely dried but not burned.
When putting the dried items into the bird’s food, be sure to cut it up into small birdie-bite sized pieces.
For cooked fruits and veggies you can use green beans, peas, corn, mixed veggies, carrots or any other common veggie. Pineapple is a favorite fruit.
Birds also love warm food such as veggies, pasta, and even vegetable soup! Just be sure that the temperature is warm but not hot. Lukewarm is best.

Good luck !
