Budgies!

[ShrekDawg]

Oooh great thread Kelsey!

I used to keep Budgies.
Yesterday I saw someone had dumped an old bird cage by the side of the road. I'm going back tomorrow to see if it's still there.
If it is, things may happen

Awesome!!! I love budgies!!! I had some as a kid and then in high school but it had been years. I got these babies last March

So far though I have these.

I forgot to update that I did eventually find her like almost an hour later then she wouldn’t let me catch her and kept zooming off and/or biting me and/or screeching her head off lol drama queen! Meanwhile, Dizzy was chilling on my finger and dancing once I caught him

Dowel perches are okay as long as you have plenty of other perches in the cage.

But it's always better to have none

Nope. But I’m dying for some cause of you

You should totally get some! They're great.

Blech! They are messy and constantly molting. I'm also highly allergic.

There are home videos of Rainbow escaping at my birthday party and biting a lot of people who tried to catch it.

Don't argue with @ColtHandorf about birds lol. He knows better than all of you lot

I'm sure there are a lot of people that would not agree with that, which is totally fine. Obviously, my opinion on budgies is just an opinion. True English budgies are also much harder to breed than the American vermin commonly sold in pet stores, also.

Haha yep, I kept budgies and used to read about how easy they were to breed. They never ever laid a single egg. Perfect set-up for them and everything

Mine just did a terrible job. Most of the time they weren't fertile and if they were they'd hatch one chick that I'd have to handfeed. It got to where I was swapping the little icky parakeet eggs out for the budgie eggs so they'd raise them up and I could just finish handfeeding them.

I do love the Budgies' dumb little b-faces though.
