One thing to remember when using a parakeet in general, but more specifically in a dove pan, chick pan, oil pan, it doesn't matter...
Make sure the parakeet is very well trained and very comfortable being placed in a small dark area. Parakeets, by nature, are timid creatures when it comes to overhead approach. This is due to larger predators coming down to swoop them up! With this natural fear in them they are susceptible to heart attacks! Again just make sure that the bird is 100% comfortable with the scenario you are imposing. With that being said, good luck and have fun!
