The Budgerigars

The Budgerigar originated in Australia and was first recorded in 1805. It is also called a parakeet or a budgie. This bird is the smallest of the parrot species. They are around 7 inches in length and weigh between 1.1. and 1.4 ounces. The Budgerigars are outgoing and playful birds that love to be around people and other Budgerigars. It is recommended that you either spend a lot of time with your single Budgerigars or purchase the birds in pairs so they have a companion. The Budgerigar is also a curious bird that loves to explore inside and outside of his cage. They are also intelligent bids that can be taught different tricks including how to talk. Budgerigars are able to mimic human speech. The males are more vocal than females. The more you talk to the bird the more he can pick up on words and phrases.
