Finally, our full inside aviary tour! You guys asked for it, so here it is—hope you like it. Let us know what you think in the comments. Breeding is already off to a great start this summer with 14 eggs and 2 little ones already hatched, which isn’t bad at all for a new setup. All the budgies are doing great and seem to love having all that extra space to fly around and make new friends.
Can anyone help me out with my budgie? He’s a little dude, still young I think, but he won’t fly. Like, at all. Just kinda walks around the bottom of the aviary like a tiny penguin or something. I’ve tried putting him up on perches a few times, but he always ends up back on…
Feeding Dishes When picking out dishes for your budgie, you’ve got a few solid options: Here’s the deal – keep their dry food, fresh snacks, and water in separate dishes. And make sure the water dish is big enough for them to splash around in if they wanna take a quick bath. Got multiple birds?…
Budgie Bedding The bottom of your budgie’s cage needs paper lining so you can clean it every day. Also, keep an eye on their poop—like, check if it looks weird, ‘cause that could mean they’re sick. There’s a bunch of cheap, easy-to-find paper you can use: Don’t use glossy ads—the ink might be toxic if…
Budgie breeding boxes are basically just little wooden homes that copy the cosy tree holes wild budgies love. You’ll want untreated wood boxes around 9″x6″x6″ or 10″x6″x6″ – nothing fancy. The bottom should curve inward, so eggs don’t go rolling everywhere, plus a little perch by the entrance and a lid that opens easily.
It’s a Long-Ass Time Okay so like, budgies? Those tiny parrots? They live FOREVER. No joke. The oldest one made it to 29 years, which is older than my mom. Even the regular ones live 10–15 years easy. So like… you gotta be ready for that. Vet bills? Yeah. Finding someone to take it if…
Unlike us, we’ve tried every trick in the book to stop wasting birdseed. Honestly, it’s been a nightmare—seeds everywhere, budgies flinging millet like it’s confetti. But guess what? We might’ve cracked it. Check out the new setup in the pic—all the food (seeds, veggies, fruit) stays in one spot now. Still get some airborne snacks…
