BUDGIES

We almost always have budgies. A plethora of them.

We have budgies! Always!

Budgies are smart, fairly easy to train with (try target training and station training) and budgies currently hold the world record for largest vocabulary in a psittacine species.

We don’t do new pictures/video of every budgie that comes in because a) there’s not enough time in the day and b) once we put them into a flight with all the other budgies, it’s really hard to tell them apart.

We don’t have set adoption fees for budgies - we just say “donation” which is an at your discretion decision for how much you’d like to donate to adopt one or as many as you can comfortably house and feed.

We like to keep them in the groups they came in if possible, if they’re smaller, and if we see they are bonded to another, we like to honor that.

***Information that is universal to every bird:

1) Birds are typically not family animals. They usually choose a favorite and at best you can expect them to tolerate everyone else.

2) Birds are not great with kids, dogs, other birds, and are not cuddly with everyone, nor can they really be trained to be. Birds are flock animals, who are social creatures that need to be in a communal area where they can see the rest of the family, or you may eperience serious vocalization and behavior problems. We’ve never met a bird who is great with kids, but we have met kids who are respectful of birds.

3) Birds bite. But, you shouldn’t “take the bite”. If you’re getting bit, you haven’t earned the trust of the bird, and are pushing the bird past his/her limits. You must figure out what the bird needs, and make what you’re asking of the bird more attractive than what they are already doing.

4) Birds are not “dominance” based creatures. Your only option for birds is to earn their trust. If they are, say…on top of a cage and don’t want to come down, that is where they feel safest, not a dominance thing. They are not trying to exert dominance, they just don’t want to come down. Your job as a parrot owner is to figure out what you can do to help them trust you, and whatever you are asking to be more attractive than what they are already doing.

5) NEVER send money over the internet for adoption with any individual or organization for the adoption of an animal you have not met in person. That is almost always a scam.
