Long-Tailed Parakeet is one of the 130 Planet Zoo 2 launch species. It is housed in a Aviary habitat, accepts the Rainforest biome, carries a Grade 2 · 1m barrier requirement and is listed at 0.35 m (legspan). It shares a biome and an enclosure type with 3 other species, so it can be mixed into a shared enclosure — 0 of those pairings are confirmed by Frontier's own text.
Every figure on this page comes from the official Planet Zoo 2 Zoopedia export rather than trailer footage: biome, enclosure type, barrier grade, size and the compatibility verdicts are all taken from the game's own data.

Long-Tailed Parakeet needs a Aviary enclosure and accepts the Rainforest biome. The barrier requirement is Grade 2 · 1m, and that is the number to check before building: a Grade 4 animal behind a Grade 1 wall is the most common way a first zoo stalls.
3 launch species share both a biome and an enclosure type with the Long-Tailed Parakeet, so they are the only candidates for a mixed habitat. Of those, 0 are confirmed group-living by Frontier's own text and 3 are unverified — both are listed rather than presented as equally safe.

Rule: two animals can share an enclosure only when they share a biome and an enclosure type. Likely OK means Frontier's own Social & Reproduction text says both species live in groups; Unverified means the data does not say, so we do not guess. Pair-by-pair table: compatibility chart.
No other launch species shares a biome with the Long-Tailed Parakeet.
Nothing to exclude: no other launch species shares a biome with it.
34 species share at least one biome with the Long-Tailed Parakeet but use a different enclosure type — a land habitat against an aquarium or a flying aviary — so they cannot be mixed however well the biomes line up.

Long-Tailed Parakeet is classed as Social in Frontier's Social & Reproduction notes: “Long-tailed parakeets are gregarious and live in small, highly social groups. Often, many of these groups may gather to form a flock.” On size the game lists 0.35 m (legspan) for the male and 0.35 m for the female. Size and weight together decide the minimum habitat footprint, so use the female figure when you are sizing a breeding pair rather than a display animal.
Can Long-Tailed Parakeet live with other animals in Planet Zoo 2?
Yes. 3 launch species share both a biome and an enclosure type with Long-Tailed Parakeet, and 0 of those are confirmed as group-living by Frontier's own text. Keep the Rainforest biome and the Aviary habitat constant and mixing them is a data question, not a guess.
What biome does Long-Tailed Parakeet need in Planet Zoo 2?
Long-Tailed Parakeet accepts 1 biome: Rainforest. Biome is not cosmetic — a species placed outside its listed biomes will not thrive, however good the enclosure looks.
What barrier grade does Long-Tailed Parakeet need?
Long-Tailed Parakeet needs Grade 2 · 1m. Grade 1 to 2 sits at the cheap end of the range, which makes this a species you can house early in a new zoo without a rebuild.
Is Long-Tailed Parakeet in the base game or Deluxe?
Long-Tailed Parakeet ships with the base game in Planet Zoo 2 — no extra purchase is needed to add it to a zoo.
How big is Long-Tailed Parakeet in Planet Zoo 2?
Long-Tailed Parakeet is listed at 0.35 m (legspan), with an adult male weight of not published. Small-bodied species like this are the ones that fit into a starter zoo with room to spare, which is why they make good first purchases.
Is Long-Tailed Parakeet social or solitary?
Frontier's own Social & Reproduction text classes Long-Tailed Parakeet as social. “Long-tailed parakeets are gregarious and live in small, highly social groups. Often, many of these groups may gather to form a flock.” That classification is what decides most of the compatibility verdicts on this page.
