Thanks for reaching out about Blue. Parakeets usually don't drink much and are efficient at absorbing water content from food. Monitor urine, if urinating regularly, you can assume hydration is adequate. Offering and training him to eat vegetables is important also for vitamins and other nutritions. Seed is not a complete diet for birds. Being small birds and having a high metabolism, there are susceptible to cold environments. Keeping parakeets warm, no lower than seventy degrees is recommended. Good luck.
