Bringing home your first budgie is exciting! These small parrots are intelligent, social, and fun companions. Start by preparing a safe, spacious cage placed in a quiet, well-lit area away from drafts and fumes. Provide fresh water, seed or pellet mix, and toys to keep them engaged.
Spend time sitting near the cage and speaking softly to help them get used to your presence. Budgies thrive on routine, so try to feed, clean, and interact at consistent times. Avoid sudden movements early on—trust builds gradually. Once they’re comfortable, you can begin hand-taming and training.
Remember, budgies are flock birds and enjoy company—either human or another budgie. With patience and gentle care, your budgie will quickly become a delightful member of the family.
