Steps In Selecting A Budgie
Budgies are very fun-loving, lively and intelligent birds and are most loved by pet lovers because of the size and variety of colors. Deciding to buy a budgie is best done from a local breeder than a local pet shop; most local avian vets would be able to guide you regarding the best budgie breeder in the locality.
Steps in selecting a budgie from a local breeder:
• Take at least 30 minutes to an hour to observe the group of budgies. Make sure the surroundings are clean and tidy; also ensure that the bird has a good supply of seeds in the bowl and has clean and fresh water to drink. It is also necessary to make sure that there are no strong odors around and that the water cups and seed bowls are clean, not soiled or messy.
• Next watch out to see if the budgies are chirping happily; it is also significant to note that a group of budgies could also be noisy. It is best to look out for birds that are sitting on the ground and looking sick; in case you find many such birds it is best to not buy from the breeder as the other birds could also be exposed to the disease or sickness.
• The next step is to select a particular budgie as your pet. It is best to select a people friendly budgie that is young; most young budgies would have stripes starting from the head and running down the forehead to the beak. Also most pet owners and breeders would be able to guide you regarding the age of the budgie, with the ideal age being 6 to 7 weeks old. It is best to not buy a budgie that is over 4 months old as it would be very difficult to train it.
• Next watch for the overall health of the budgie; make sure the bird is alert, its eyes are bright and it is playful with the other birds. Next ensure the budgie is of good weight and its breastbone is not sharp and protruding. Also make sure that the vent area is clean and free of poop and debris and that there is no discharge on the legs, feet, cere, beak, or around the eyes. Make sure that the budgie does not have constantly fluffed out feathers.
• Check the personality of the budgie by making it sit on your finger; budgies that do not bite are confident with human beings. Do not select a budgie that is petrified, bites hard or gets into a major freak-out mood.
• Last, but most important note that males are friendlier and easy to train; both sexes talk equally well.
