Answer 3

-Read as much info as you can about budgie (also called parrakeets) before buying.

-Buy from a local breeder if posable.  Do not buy from PetSmart/PetCo. they are not as healthy.  

-Feed it pellets, fruits and veggies- save seed for treats only!

-Change its water, food, and cage liner dayly

-Do buy a hand fed baby bird, they are much sweeter

-Don't let the other pets get your new bird!

Good Luck! Bird are loads of fun if they are trained to be well behaved.  Read Read Read everything you can!
