Are you sure that you need a budgie?

28 18:16:16

Before buying a budgie think about the following questions :

One or two budgies?

Budgies in natural conditions live in flights and it will be
boring for one budgie to live in a cage.His friend, who can
replace the company of other bird, could be a person but only in
case that he spends lots of time with his feathery friend,
speaks to it and lets it fly. If the bird is alone most of the
time it becomes sad and very often gets sick. If you are unable
to spare enough time for the budgie or if the family is absent
for a long time, it is better to start breeding a couple of
birds. Many people think that when living in a couple budgies do
not become domestic because they do not need human presence
anymore.But if your patient enough and if you have enough time
you may breed budgies separately while they grow up until they
become domestic and start perching on your arm and only then to
bring them together into one cage.

Will anybody help you?

It can happen that on some days you can be very busy and to be
unable to care about the birds It is very important someone of
the family to take care of them. And will it be possible for the
bird to move around your home?

Home budgies do not need to look for food alone and to fly
kilometers away but they also have to ?exercise? their wings.
These feathery ones will not be vital and healthy if they do not
fly daily around the room at least for an hour. But is very
difficult to keep the cage in one room with a cat?it
instinctively chases birds and the is no trouble in catching the
flying budgie. But an obedient dog very soon realizes that the
bird is a member of the family and that it must not be
disturbed.
