Hi all

My name is Ben and I live in chigwell Essex. I havent bought my budgie yet and I thought I'd register before hopefully getting one this weekend.
I had a senegal parrot for sometime but this will be my first budgie.Hopefully going to find a breeder in my area via this forum so if you have baby birds for sale then please let me know

Thanks

I have a Senegal or can opener as I like to call them how exciting for you! I recently got my two, have a few parrots but decided I couldn't live without buds any longer!

Hi and welcome, Ben.

Do lots of reading of our stickies before you start buying, is my tip. Get the biggest cage you and your space can afford, steer clear of sand sheets and perches, and invest in several stainless steel liberty bells. And save your newspapers.

We are not Vets, Avian or otherwise. If you have any serious doubts about your budgies' health an appointment with an Avian vet should always be your first point of call.

Hello and welcome to the forum Ben. How exciting getting a budgie. We are all budgie mad on this forum, and lots of members have loads of tips and advice, so do ask questions if you can't find the answers on the stickies. Keep us informed of your 'purchase' and good luck.
