Bird : "Budgerigars"
|
 I currently have 4 budgerigars as pets, specifically two pairs of mates. So I might as well put out some info I have from experience, as I've had these birds for a few years or so. First, the perches that come with a cage are nice, but if you stick with only wooden, round dowels, their feet are going to hurt eventually. Think of if you could only stand on hardwood and couldn't sit anywhere else. Second is to supply them things to destroy (i.e small cardboard boxes and sticks that are safe for birds) so they have something to do and not mess around with the cage. Third, keep them away from plants. I'm not sure about anyone else, but mine particularly love eating the dirt. Finally, a bird will not bond with you on the first day, let it get used to it's surroundings first before trying to get close. |
