Budgerigars
Budgerigars, commonly known as budgies, are small parrots with enormous personalities. They are intelligent, active, social, and naturally curious. Despite their small size, budgerigars need substantial mental and physical stimulation.
Budgie essentials
- Safe space for movement
- Appropriate perches
- Toys and enrichment
- Opportunities to forage
- A balanced diet
- Social interaction
- Clean water
- Regular rest
Budgies should never be considered "easy" simply because they are small. Their physical size does not reduce their behavioural or welfare needs.
