Definitely not a good idea to give them away free as who knows what will happen to them - gerbils and hamsters for snake food and cats for dog fighting. There was a "breeder" advertising budgies in Cardiff that actually seemed to be collecting free budgies from ads and then selling them herself - same photos etc. She was also selling a large assortment of small budgie cages which she presumably got free with the budgies. I sent her message before I worked this out as I was interesting in a budgie she had for sale and became very wary as she seemed to know very little about budgies even though she claimed to breed them. I do hope this poor parrot does find a good and loving home. Some people really don't care about their animals at all. That’s how I ended up with Munchie as she was being given away and I didn’t want her to end up as snake food. Once I saw her post and some of the people that wanted her I just couldn’t get her out of my mind.

All, apart from two of my current budgies (Bertie and Lucy), were given to me for free.
Mostly because of adverts I placed asking if anyone needed a home for a budgie or two. But Lemon was given to me by a forum member that found him outside.
Sometimes with the "free to a good home" adverts, they do like to check out the home that the bird is going to first.
But fortunately for me, I have a blog and an internet presence (ie here and facebook) that show I am a real budgie nut.
