| − | Having a budgie home is a big responsibility. You're wholly responsible for the wellness of your new pet day in, day out. And that will be true after the novelty wears off. At the risk of sounding like a spoil sport, there are some things you need to consider before you bring a budgie home. [http://www.youtube.com/user/handfedbudgies1/ Budgies]

| − | Caring for a budgie's basic need doesn't take up an enormous amount of time. But it does have a little of your time everyday. A budgie needs fresh food and water, a clean cage and regular companionship. [http://www.facebook.com/handfedbudgies Budgies]

| − | In the great outdoors budgies reside in huge flocks. And within the flock they have a sudden family that they're very close to. It is a common myth that the budgie alone in its cage will soon be happy. The simple truth is that they are very social animals that have a deeply ingrained requirement for company. As your budgies adopted family you'll have to spend a decent amount of time with it if it's housed alone. Otherwise it's prone to get depressed.

| − | Cost
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now, budgies are not expensive pets to keep. Far from it. But there are costs that come with owning any pet. The obvious initial expense is just a decent sized cage, but you've probably already realized that. A regular way to obtain food, sandpaper, grit and mineral blocks does add up. As well as the need to buy new toys every now and again, which means that your budgie doesn't get uninterested in them.

| − | Also, it's a good idea to put a little money aside every month to cover vets bills when you need to. Alternatively you will get pet insurance. There is nothing more heartbreaking than perhaps not be able to pay the vets bill that may save your valuable pet's life. Or having your budgie suffer because you haven't any money for treatment. A saying that I heard recently really sums up this point, 'If you can't pay the vet, you can't afford the pet. ' [http://www.handfedbudgies.com/ Budgies]

| − | It only costs a few bucks to purchase a budgie, but then it's your duty to ensure you are able to take care of it.

| − | Is a Budgie The proper Pet For You?
| |
| − | | |
| − | While budgies are great companions that will bring lots of joy in to your daily life, they're not right for everyone.
| |
| − | | |
| − | A relationship with a budgie is much more hands off than a relationship with other pets. Budgies will sit on your finger and let you stroke them for some of the time, but they are certainly not pets that one can possess a physical relationship with. So , if you're looking for a pet that you can cuddle and stroke often , then you are probably better suited to owning something furry.

| − | Noise is also something that you need to consider. Will you get irritated if your budgie squawks throughout your favorite TELEVISION or radio show? If there is a steady stream of sound, just like a conversation going on in the room, you budgie will frequently participate in. Also, a budgie has a tendency to create a fair amount of mess. Feathers and seed husks will usually litter the floor under and around your budgies cage. So when your budgie's flying around the room it'll leave stray feathers all around us. Which means you'll likely find yourself needing to vacuum slightly more frequently than you do at this time.

| − | You'll often hear tales of a small bird being introduced to a cat, and of the cat getting on well with the bird. Of the cat having a curious interest and leaving the bird in peace. It sounds cute also it probably does happen. But it is the exception as opposed to the rule. Generally, when you yourself have larger animals like cats or dogs they'll have to be kept besides your budgie. Since your budgie needs time each day outside his cage, you'll need to house him in a room that you are happy to lock the cats and dogs out of while your budgie flies around and explores.

| − | Budgies can be housed with many different species of bird. They are not suitable to be kept with all types of pet bird though.

| − | Budgies and Children
| |
| − | You might be thinking about obtaining a budgie primarily for your child. If you should be child wants a budgie, that's great. They're good pets. And your son or daughter can learn about responsibility along with gaining a loving companion. However , children generally like to be hands on with their pets. The younger they truly are, the more hands on they are generally. So that your child will need to be taught how delicate a budgie is and supervised when handling it.

| − | Lastly you should understand that since the adult you have the principal responsibility for the budgie's welfare. Your youngster might want a budgie a lot more than anything in the world right now, but what about in six months time? Are you ready to look after the budgie in the years ahead, if your son or daughter gets bored of it?
