Budgie Bird, care for it and name it?

Question

Hey. I have a lime green budgie bird.

Care:

Can you tell me anything about them and what is the best way to take care of them? I already had it for about 3 months. :) And i already have toys for it, big cage, food and a perch. Tell me everything about them and what you should put in their cage. :]

Name:

I already named it Sprite (like the soda because it is lime green and yellow) I need a middle name for it. Like (for example) Sprite Soda... I don't want Soda as his middle name but something funny or creative.

THANKS EVERYBODY! YOU GUYS AND GIRLS ARE THE BEST!!!!

Care:  

Food: You can give him lettuce, apples, parsley, and carrots as healthy treats.  Do not give them peach pits, apple seeds, or avocado.  To be safe, do not give them any fruit seeds.  You can give him millet spray, but it is fattening for them, so don't give him too much or you'll soon have an obese bird on your hands.

Toys: There are certain types of toys (destructible, preening, food, sound) Make sure to supply them with a variety of types of toys.  For example, don't give him a bunch of bells and nothing else.

Perches: You can use wood perches for your bird in addition to the standard dowel perches.  Manzanita, Bamboo, and eucalyptus are a few bird-safe trees.  All perches should be washed and have no pesticides, oils, or any dangerous chemicals.

Training to talk:

First, choose a phrase you want him to say. Parakeets usually learn stuff with the long "i" sound, like hi and sky. I got my parakeet to say "hi Skye" by saying it to him every time i walked towards him. He picked it up pretty quick.

Second, say it with emotion. Your bird usually likes anything you say with emotion and that's why so many birds learn to swear!

Third, don't give up. It takes time for your bird to speak his first word. If you hear him making some gibberish, he could be trying to say your word. Just keep repeating it over and over.

Names: Sprite Sugar, Sprite Diet, Sprite Caffeine-Free, Sprite Might, Sprite Light or Sprite Lime.

Suggestion; Because Budgies can be very good talker's and can learn alot of words, consider naming your bird a word he can say easily - and

one word is best.

The web is an easy and wonderful place to find information on anything and everything, so use it often to do searches for information and bird sites..there are many Good bird sites, below are two.

First site you will need to type in Budgie when you get there.
