Because I might get a budgie at my dads, are they good pets, I need info. Do they smell, are they easy to take care of? I NEED INFO!
Answers:
I have had the opportunity to hand feed the english and american parakeets from 7 days old. I had some rare genetics and that is why i kept the blood line going.
They make fantastic pets if you can find a breeder that hand feeds them. I suggest you find a breeder that hand feeds them and never purchase two. Only buy one. Never put in a mirror, happy hut or a bobbing bird.
Find one that is on a pelleted diet and eating veggies and fruit. This will allow your bird to live about 20-25 yrs.
My first budgie is still alive at the age of 28. So the diet is important to the life of it.
They are also great talkers. The only way they smell is if you dont keep up on the cleaning of the cage. The seed diet makes the cage messy, so try to find a breeder the feeds a pelleted diet and eating a variety of veggies, pasta, meat, cheese, and what you eat for supper. On that diet alone, it can live as long as mine is living. A seed diet just makes one heck of a mess with the seed hulls going every where.
But know if you choose to get one, it's soley your responsibility to take care of it.
Good luck!
yup. they are. they can be your friends, like dogs, but they dont need that much attention everyday. no they dont smell, especially if you bathe them. its the usual water, food, toys, and ''
change the newspaper at the bottom of the cage where they poop daily" routine. ask around your circle of friends who may have them as pets for clearer info, as they are experienced owners!
Budgies are great pets! They are happy little birds that sing, talk, and do tricks.
Unlike the last answer, budgies do need LOTS of attention or else they will get extremely bored. Talk to them everyday and play with them. They do not smell. Very easy to take care of.
Yes, they can make great pets. But they also require work.
They need time out of their -large- cage to play with you every single day. They need vegetables, fruit, etc every day (feeding nothing but seed usually kills them after a few years - malnutrition. pellet only diet also causes complications which can be fatal). They also need lots of toys.
As long as you change the newspaper every day and clean the cage at least once a week, it shouldn't smell.
They can be terrific little companions, they are playful and fun to be around.
yes they make very good pets. they like veggies and fruit for fruit they like apples the best and for veggeis they like carrots and sweet corn. just dont feed them chocolate and avacado those can kill them.
to tell if it is a female or male look at their cere if female it will be a light brown or pink and if in heat it will be brown and crusty. and if male it will be blue. if very young it will be pinkish purple.
They are great pets. If you want a bird that is active I would suggest 2 American parakeets (budgies), because they tend to be more active, and play with toys. They also talk a lot. If you want to get a more laid back bird, get an English Budgie, they are laid back, they are quieter, and they are nicer, I think, they dont bite as much. But the only bad thing is, is that he doesnt play with any toys inside of his cage.
yes,i find them very amuseing birds,i have two of my own.as with all animals one has to care for their pets and there is a certain amount of work in order to keep the pets healthy and comfortable.as for a budgie,well they dont smell,they stay in their cage and theyre entertaining. now for the reality of owning a budgie,theyre messy,thats their only fault,but other than that budgies make great pets! im enjoying mine. have fun!
