Are Budgies easy to care for?

Question

i am thinking of getting a budgie.but i am having trouble getting permission.how can i convince my mom to let me have one?maybe two?are they much work?i'm sure that's what she's wondering

Answer 1

They're probably some of the easiest birds to care for. Very good for a first-time bird (or any type of pet) owner.

Answer 2

Budgies are bright and beautiful birds. They can be messy and you have to spend a lot of time cleaning their cages. Plus, if you let them out (which i recommend) to fly around the house, you have to clean up the droppings they leave behind. However they teach responsiblity, are very lovable, and are very very loyal to the person that takes cares of them. If you will spend a lot of time with you budgie you can have one, however they are social creatures and if you are busy, get two so they can play with each other.

Answer 4

Trust me, I have three of them, as long as you remember to give them *some* attention,  let them fly, feed them and give them fresh water, clean their droppings and cage and make sure they are healthy and happy, then you will be fine.

They are not alot of work at all, I know this because my 9 year old lazy brother takes care of our budgies just fine and we have THREE! :)

Answer 5

yea there r i own one

Answer 6

yes they are easy to start with... but dont be careless.

Answer 7

yes, but they are loud in the morning.

Answer 8

Don't get two if you want to train them because two in a cage you cannot train.  I have had birds since I was 10 years old and I am old now.  Tell her you will take good care of them, give them food and water and clean their cage out as need be (every week or two times a week).

Answer 9

Yes......

I had 4 at one time.....

Answer 10

My mom used to have one. Loud 24/7 and you need to cover them to get them to sleep. you need to clean out its cage weekly and give it toys. companions are good. if you get one, DO NOT let it out without a leash. Mom let hers out and it got killed as my uncle tried to shut a door to keep it in.

Answer 11

Yes its very,very very easy.

Just tell your mum:

- BUdgies waste do not smell and they are easy to clean. Just change the paper underneath their tray everyday.

- Change their water too.

- Change the millets every week

- They only need a mirror and a swing to entertain them.

- you just have to accompany them for a day
