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 you bail? Good luck—shelters are packed with these guys already.

And omg, they’re LOUD. Not like “blow your eardrums” loud, but constant chirping from sunrise to sunset. Teach it to whistle? Cool, now hear that same annoying tune 50 times a day.

Oh, and they’re chaos gremlins. They zoom around, fight over food, and demand attention 24/7. Chill pet? Nope. They’re like ADHD on wings. Cockatiels hate them because they’re too hyper.

Also—brace yourself—THEY POOP NONSTOP. Every 15 minutes. Seeds everywhere. Feathers in your socks. If you’re not cool with cleaning up tiny turds daily, maybe get a rock instead.

Still want one? Okay, but no take-backsies.

  • Budgies And Gravel / Grit

    Byadmin

    Does my budgie actually need gravel or grit? Nah, they don’t. Here’s the thing—budgies are smart little seed crackers. They peel off the outer shell before eating the good stuff inside, so grit isn’t necessary for them. Back in the day, people thought all birds needed grit to help grind up food in their guts,…

  • Budgies, also called parakeets

    Byadmin

    Budgies, also called parakeets, are like the perfect starter pet. They’re super adaptable to different places and don’t need crazy amounts of attention, which is awesome if you’ve never had a pet before. Plus you can actually train them to chill with you, which is pretty cool. Some of these little guys can even copy…

  • Budgie Feed Pellets vs Seed

    Byadmin

    Okay, first rule—don’t mix pellets with seeds right off the bat. That’s cheating, and your bird will just pick out the seeds anyway. Try offering pellets first thing in the morning when your budgie’s actually hungry. Sneaky? Maybe. Effective? Hopefully.

  • Budgie Perches

    Byadmin

    Budgie Perches Perches for a budgie should be offered in an assortment of sizes, heights, textures, and materials (i.e., rope). This will ensure your budgie can exercise their feet, which may help prevent sores. Budgie perches should be a minimum of 4 inches long and 3/8 inch in diameter. Wider perches will limit proper gripping, which…
