Budgie returned to owner (bird breeder) today. Owner very happy as budgie has two babies and owner has been handrearing them for the past 2 days. Happy Ending.

Thank you. I have been out early this morning plastering notes on posts. Unfortunately she was found on a long road uninhabitated by anyone which runs along a railway line. I have decided to run an ad in my local paper as I would like to return her to her rightful owner. Will upload photo later.

Hi all, Hope some of you may be able to answer a few questions for me in relation to a budgie. Story is I work in wildlife rescue and my focus is on birds. Today I went to the "rescue" of a baby cockatoo. When I got there he was in fact a pure white (albino) budgie! Lol. I am assuming he is an escapee pet. He is quite young and still growing some of his flight feathers which are still in their sheath. He caught me unexpectedly and gave me a rather nasty bite which is quite funny considering I have so far avoided the nips from cockatoos, corellas, tawnies and the like! He was apparently being attacked by noisy miners and came close to being road kill after two cars went over the top of him.I placed him on heat and within a few hours he was up and eating and chirping away. It is also pouring rain here in Sydney so I am of the opinion he is one lucky budgie. I know nothing about budgies and want some information so as I can rehome him to the best person. So, 1. Are they solitary or do they prefer a friend? 2. Would it be wrong to rehome him solo? 3. Do they like alot of human interaction if by themselves? 4. What do they eat apart from seed (tried apple without success)? 5. Why is he shredding the newspaper on the base of the cage? 6. Why does he seem so intent on wanting out of his cage? 7. How do I identify the best budgie owner for him? What should I be looking out for? Any information would be of help. Thanks.
