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.

    Tips for getting your budgie to actually eat those boring-little pellets: 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.
