Origins

The Budgie, also known as the Budgerigar, is a small, long-tailed parakeet that is native to Australia. Budgies are one of the most popular pet birds in the world and have been kept as pets since the early 1800s.

Budgies were first brought to Europe in 1839 by John Gould, an English naturalist. They quickly became popular as pets and by the late 1800s, Budgies were being bred in captivity. The first Budgie breeding club was established in England in 1874.

Budgies were introduced to the United States in the early 1900s and became popular pets there as well. In 1955, the American Budgerigar Society was founded.

Today, you can find a Budgie for sale almost anywhere in the world, and they come in a wide variety of colours and patterns.

Suitable Cage

A suitable cage for a Budgie is a large cage with plenty of room to fly and explore, as well as a few perches and toys to keep them entertained. It is recommended to have as large of a cage as you can manage to give them.

Other Considerations

  • Budgies need a lot of interaction to thrive. This is why many people buy Budgies in pairs.
  • There are two types of common Budgies – the American Budgie and the larger European Budgie.
  • Budgies can learn to mimic their human owners.

How can I take good care of my Budgerigar?

Nutrition

A Budgie’s diet should consist of:

– around 50% seeds, either mixed or as a pellet food
– around 30% fresh vegetables, such as broccoli, carrots, spinach, and celery
– around 10% fresh fruit, such as apples, bananas, and pears
– a small amount of cooked rice, pasta, or beans
– a cuttlebone or mineral block for calcium

A Budgie also needs access to clean water at all times.

Out Of The Cage

Ideally, a Budgie should have at least one to two hours of out-of-cage time each day. This time should be spent in a safe and supervised environment where they can fly, explore, and interact with their surroundings.

Entertainment/Enrichment

These intelligent and active birds thrive on stimulation and interaction, so incorporating diverse activities into their daily routine can help prevent boredom and promote a healthy, happy life.

Exercise

Coming soon.

Toys

A Budgie needs a minimum of 30 minutes of exercise every day, with at least 15 minutes of that being out of the cage. They need a variety of different toys to keep them amused, including ones that encourage them to chew (such as wooden chew toys) and ones that encourage them to move around and explore (such as foraging toys).

Budgies are very active birds and love to play. Providing them with ample opportunity to exercise will not only keep them healthy and fit but also help prevent boredom and behavioural problems.

This is general information and should not be relied on for adopting or purchasing advice.

Most Asked Budgerigar Questions

There are several potential causes of feather plucking, including boredom, stress, anxiety, and nutritional deficiencies. If your Budgie starts plucking its feathers, it’s important to take it to the vet to rule out any medical causes. You may also need to provide your Budgie with more toys and activities to keep it entertained, or make some changes to its environment to reduce stress levels.

A healthy Budgie should have bright eyes, smooth feathers, and steady breathing. It should be active and playful, and eating a well-balanced diet. If you notice any changes in your Budgie’s appearance or behaviour, or if it seems lethargic or unwell, take it to the vet for a check-up.

If you are searching for a Budgie for sale, it’s important to only deal with reputable breeders. The average cost of a Budgerigar for sale will be between AUD $50 and $500. More expensive show Budgies will be at the upper end of this range.
