Caring For You Budgie

Budgies are home parrots that need specific care. This article will give you a rough idea on how to go about caring for your little budgie.



Stainless steel cages are the best cages for your budgies. This is because toxic substances like paints and metals (lead, silver and brass) can harm your budgies. Buy a very spacious cage to allow maximum movement for your pet. Do not select round cages but opt for rectangular ones. This will allow your budgies to fly freely without impediments.

Avoid placing the cage in the kitchen, near windows or in rooms where it can break or ruin things. They might get sick from the fumes and from exposure to wind and rain. Provide perches of different heights so that your budgies can exercise and play in their cages. Also provide a room where they can play for some time before you return them to their individual cages. Their cages should have secure locks because these are smart birds, which can find a way to remove simple locks.

You should place their food containers inside their specific cages so that they will not fight over food. Cover left over food because this might get contaminated with droppings. There are foods for budgies you can buy from pet stores. Their foods include apples, cabbages, carrots, bread, cucumber, and skeletons of cuttlefish. The food should not only nourish your budgies but should also sharpen and strengthen their beaks to keep them healthy.

Budgies are really calm birds and are fun to have as a pet. When given the proper care and nutrition there are great birds to have around. There are various pet shops around that will assist you with the care of the budgie. You can also go surf the internet and find loads of information that will assist you.
