When are parakeets sexually mature?

Budgies (parakeets) are small parrots native to Australia known for their intelligence, small size, and social nature. They are sexually mature at around 9 to 10 months old, depending on their breed. However, it's important to note that it's generally advisable to wait until your parakeet is at least one year old before breeding it to ensure its full physical and mental development. Some larger parakeet species, such as the Rose-ringed parakeet, might reach sexual maturity even later, around 12 to 18 months of age.
