Hi and welcome, don't think any question you ask is silly/stupid etc.( should have seen some of mine). This is a great spot to find out anything you want to know about Budgies. Usually rapid answers to any query as well. Good luck with your new bub when you get him. :rolleyes:

Hi i have photos of my daughter and bumble on snapbucket and also facebook jasmine cameron cant figure how to link them im using my phone as my 20mth son broke my wiifii stick thingy lol

Hi Jasmine and welcome to the forum.

When buying your new budgie I would advice to buy a very young male straight out of the nest at about 6 to 8 weeks old.

males are easier to train and they don't bite as hard as hens.

But make sure he is feeding on his own first don't let any one sell you one any under that age.

But if you are after a show bird you will probably not get one that young as most breeders will keep them until

they go through their 1st moult and sometimes second moult.

I hope this helps.
