Top tips for successful budgie care

Different budgie owners may have different views for the maintenance needed for a budgie. My view is that budgie care may be easy when you have one budgie, but gets a little harder the more budgies you have. There are specific things you need to do to keep your budgie alive, healthy and happy. I use a checklist to make sure I remember what I need to do daily, and so on. Here are some tips you must do to care for a budgie correctly.

1. Food

Food must be given to your budgie daily. Millet and seeds can be good to feed your bird daily, but fruit must be given as well so the budgies have vitamins. Millet can be given as a treat, but must only be used as regular food on special occasions. Seeds can be bought from grocery stores and pet shops. Budgies are allowed a variety of fruit, but not garlic or avocado.

2. Cleaning

Especially during times when budgies moult, cleaning the cage,
the budgie's environment and perches is very important as there
are a lot of bacteria that can kill your bird. Cleaning up
feathers and seeds on the floor with a vacuum and
cleaning up droppings from the floor with a wet peice
of toilet paper keeps the environment around your
budgie clean. Cleaning the cage regularly is a very
important job as well. If your budgie catches a disease,
there aren't many chances of survival so hygiene must be
at a very good level.


3. Bathing in the summer
Bathing your budgie during the summertime is very good as it does not just help
with feathers, but the skin too. Putting a bath in the budgie cage will let the
budgie go and bathe when they want to. You can also spray them with water,
but never force a budgie to bathe.


4. Toys
Budgies LOVE toys! Placing at least 3 toys in the budgie cage will make your
budgie happier than before. I recommend toys with bells and straw toys for the
budgie to chew. Having a swing may also make your budgie happy. Changing the place
you put the toys once a fortnight helps as the budgie may get bored of the same
toys in the same place.

Do you want a budgie? Introduction

  Budgies - are you fond of them? Budgies are pets and companions that most people love. They’re birds that are capable of changing your life. But before thinking that having a chirping friend that loves you, you have to get prepared to earn its trust and to look after it. And trust me. It’s not as easy as it looks. Before I got Blueberry, I thought it would be easy to look after one too. And to earn its trust. But it was the hardest skill I could ever do. My feathered friend has taught me new things and increased my patience. Budgies can come in many different colours and have different personalities. Some are aggressive, others are social and others are friendly. The best way to tame or to train a budgie is with food. The only thing that can’t be controlled with budgies is that they cannot be toilet trained. Yes, they do it every 10 - 15 minutes. But they can easily be cleaned with tissues. If you want a budgie that can easily become your friend it is best to choose ones younger ...
