My boyfriend is looking for a baby budgie for me. I would like a purple/blue budgie so i can call him pebbles if its yellow call him comet. Does anyone have any other good names? And I cant whistle and id really like my budgie to wolf whistle. Link to comment

Do you have a favorite song? Sing to them and they will love you for it. And they are totally non judgmental. They are flock birds and love you as an addition. Link to comment

The time you invest in your bird is repaid to you fourfold...they are such lovely little creatures. Link to comment

He is not cuddly and won't sit on your hand or shoulder for very long but he is sooooooo entertaining We have a little playgym for him which is a few metres away from his cage and as soon as you open his cage he is out! Straight over to his gym. We sit with him and watch him play, he has a few gumnuts lying around (his playgym is on top of a large table that has some of the kids' toys on it) and he jumps on the gumnut, carries it in his beak, drops it, rolls over the top of it just hilarious So welcome here and yeah, enjoy, I say!
