thanks for the replies......No Name for him yet, still thinking.....Any suggestions ? By the way, the reason i ended up getting a budgie, and wanting a yellow face blue , is because i found a older one in my backyard the other which sadly passed away a few hours after i found him.... This is a picture of him after he passed away .... :hap: Im hoping my will eventually have the same colours ? pic3 Jason

http://i225.photobucket.com/albums/dd43/ja...00/DSC00748.jpgHi there, Just got my 1st new budgie yesterday.... Just have a few questions. (1) is it definitely a male ? The lady i got it from said it was a male, but just want to make sure as i heard its quite hard to tell when they are so young ( when i handle him he doesnt bite me ) (2) she said it was only 5 weeks old.... does it look like its only 5 weeks old ? (3) how long before it will start eating...... Ive had him for 24 hours now, and havent noticed him eat or drink...... he seems very relaxed with me, and doesnt seem scared or stressed at all. So wondering why he hasnt eaten yet ? (4) will babies eat eucalypts.....? I put some nice new eucalpy shoots in his cage and doesnt seem interested at alll (5) Is it a yellow faced blue.... ? thats what i wanted ...Below are some pics of him so u can tell me if its definitely male....... sorry if they are too big... I dont know how to resize them :hap: pic1 pic2 jason

Hey guys, Thanks for all the replies ! Your advice was helpful..... IM going to get a cage (18x18x30) similar to the ones in the 2 pics.... They look good........ Thanks again

Hi there,,,, Can some one help me with cage info pls...... What size cage should i get for 1, possibly 2 budgies ? Im going to start off with one budgie, and later on may get a 2nd..... I definitely wont be getting more than 2 though.... Ive been reading that its better to get a wider cage rather than a higher cage... is that correct ? When i asked this question to several different pet shops, they alll said its not better to have a wider cage ..... I think they dont really know what they are on about, and just want to sell me any old cage...... Anyway, if some one could give me the dimensions for a cage that willl be okay for 1 or 2 budgies...... Bare in mind, this cage is going to spend most of its time indoors, so i dont want something too big......... Just something that will keep one, maybe 2, budgie(s) happy cheers Jason
