thanks,excellent advice again,fantastic people on here

I have taken a piece of branch from my apple tree,what should i do to make it safe for Jim,should i sand it down a bit and take the outer bark off,or just boil the branch?

Hello everone,i am new here,Yesterday i bought a new budgie,a lovely 6 week old white and blue,named Jim. Now i used to allways have budgies when i lived at home with my parents but not since i bought my own home and married a lovely lady. I have a few questions id like to ask,i want to tame the bird and it allready sits on my finger,i noticed tody that he sits fluffed up a bit,hopefully hes okay. We are out at work allday so should i get a mate for him? Also what toys would you recomend for me to buy? Thanks in advance for any info. Adrian
