Posted September 4, 201212 yr Hi everyone I'm Monica I just joined today and I do not own any Budgies at the moment, I used to own a couple as a teenager but after they passed away I never got them replaced. I am wanting to find a breeder in the Albury/Wodonga area I do have a 15mo daughter now and im wanting to get a Budgie or two for us so she can learn about looking after a budgie and have a little friend. I am wanting a male so I can teach it to talk but i'm wanting to know should I get two instead of one?? if I get two should it be Male/Female or Male/Male If anyone has any suggestions on type of budgies I should get and type of cage and any other tips I need to know please feel free to message me Kind regards Monica
September 5, 201212 yr Hi Monica, If you want a bird to learn to talk etc. I'd say only get one male baby, maybe 8-10 weeks, as It's coming on to breeding time there should be some young chicks around shortly. If you can find a local budgie club you may be able to ask someone where you could purchase a chick. Other than that check out your local pet stores and see what they have to offer, if it's a good store they should be able to help you.I'd do a lot of reading about taming etc in the f.a.q. so you know how to go about it. Hope this helps a bit. p.s cages. wider rather than tall dome shaped ones so they have room to move. Perches front to back, so they don't just shuffle along perch but have to jump/fly from one to the other for exercise.
