Bird Keeping Series – Budgies

Budgie

Budgies are the perfect beginner birds to keep. People of all ages that enjoy the sight of birds will simply love to start out with budgies. They are colourful, attractive, sociable birds that are easy to keep and look after. They originate from Australia and can live up to 15 years - so choosing one as a pet is a long-term commitment. They can be kept alone but prefer the company of their own species as they are social as mentioned above. If kept indoors they will need regular daily exercise outside their cage and are at their most active during the daytime, sleeping once it gets dark.

A Lover of Birds

I have always been a lover of birds. Ever since I was a little child I remember that every time I looked out my window and saw birds, I would one day own as many as I could. This started off my hobby of bird keeping. Although this hobby is expensive and you have to consider that birds love their freedom, it is a hobby that I persist in keeping alive.
