Question
Hey there I am thinking of getting a pet budgie and have some basic questions for you:

I've a cage thats 18 inches high 16 inches wide and 12 inches deep is this ok for one budgie? Will a budgie be ok being alone in my room(which has lovebirds to chatter with in it) or4/5 days a week for 8 hour work shifts? I can let it out morning and evening and play with it for a bit.

Do you think it'll take long to handtame a 6/9 week old baby budgie?

Cheers, ~Tara.

Answer
Hey Tara,

I think that'd be okay for one budgie. And that is a perfect place for a budgie, beside other birds, that way he/she won't get lonely. Well if you're going to let your bird out in the morning and evening it will just get used to you, and there's not need to hand tame it. However if there were two of them, that would be a different story. If there is anything I can help you with let me know!
