Posted January 10, 201114 yr Hi all, We have yet to purchase our first budgies, or even a cage at this point but I thought this looked like a great forum to sign up with and get information to make sure we are heading in the right direction with any future purchases. My 7 year old son has been asking for about a year now for a budgie, and we think he has proven himself more than responsible to finally become the owner of one (with close parental supervision/help of course) so I am here to read, learn and make good informed choices in regards to becoming budgie owners. I did have a budgie in my teens but that was quite some time ago so I am feeling like a complete beginner again.
January 10, 201114 yr Welcome to the forums Hope you find them full of information that will help you make informed decisions... Enjoy!
January 10, 201114 yr Welcome to the forum! I am from South Australia to. I live in the Adelaide Hills. Budgies make great pets, and this is a great site to learn from! Not many on here are from SA, but some others that come on regularly are Liv and Sunnie. We are all part of a club in town, and we all breed and show budgies.

January 10, 201114 yr Author Thanks for the welcome, have spent much of the afternoon reading through threads here and googling away..I think I have overwhelmed myself a bit. Would the "Bringing Home A New Budgie" be the best section for all my newbie questions about what to feed, size of cage and best place to buy from? I would prefer to avoid pet shops if there is a breeder nearby.

As for questions, it depends on the question For example cages would be in housing section, Food would be in the Nutrition and Feed section etc.
