Budgies come from Australia and are used to dry heat there. If budgies get too hot in summer, they retreat to cooler places. Since they are predominantly kept in cages when in human hands, budgies cannot protect themselves from heat stress. Thus, these attractive birds rely on your help.
Budgies, canaries and similar birds are grateful living companions, and not only for animal lovers with little time or space. However, you should be aware that these charming birds should only be kept in pairs.
Your bird’s food should consist primarily of various grains and seeds, as the shape of its beak may suggest. These can be purchased in ready-made nutritious mixes to ensure your bird receives everything it needs to stay fit and health.
Eating and sleeping: this is what makes up the every day life of the majority of pet birds. Whilst life in the wild can be more varied than cage life, many pet birds live a fairly monotonous life.
Budgies are some of the most popular pets around, so it may seem only natural that having chicks would make them even more well-loved. However, there are a few key points to consider before you look into breeding your budgies.
You can find enrichment and play ideas in our games and training section. There is a big range of illnesses that can affect birds. Read what you can do to prevent ill health and care for your feathered friend if it is sick in our health and care section. Read about how to read signs off disease, diagnosis and therapy options. You will also learn important aspects that you should consider when breeding. If your flying companion is not doing well, a visit to the vet is of course imperative. Before your birdie moves in with you, you should inform yourself in detail about species-appropriate keeping in our adoption and ownership section. In addition to information on the right cage selection, the magazine also explains how you can best keep birds together.
You don't intend to owning a pet one, but simply enjoy the birds in the wild? The magazine also offers insights into how to care for wild birds and make your garden a welcoming space for them.
