This is my first post and I am a little nervous I apologise in advance for any mistakes. Before I go onto what I would like to say that is forum is amazing in the way of support and tips to give a budgie the best life. I am going to get a budgie from a breeder; this breeder has recently hatched a new set of budgies so I have 8 weeks to get as much knowledge as possible to give the budgie the best life. I just have a few questions that would really help me out, I will put them in a list in hopes to make it easier to answer. - What is the youngest age to take a budgie in because I thought that you have to wait 8 weeks from the time the bird hatches but on some other threads there are people who have adopted budgies a 6 weeks old. - I am only getting one budgie as I have a lot of free time on my hands this is because I have a part time job that only lasts a few hours. What is the best way to bond with the budgie - How do I pick healthy birds - Is it possible to see a birds personality when at the breeders aviary -Easy and fast ways to tell the gender of a bird specifically cocks -The breeder is going to hand tame the new batch for me, what does that mean for me when I bring him home -What are rare types of budgies I think that is enough questions for now. Please feel free to add anything such as trick or tips and thanks in advance for the answers
