Hi im new here and I hope you don't mind me asking a few questions.
1. My budgies seem to get bored sometimes can anyone reccomend me some good toys I can buy online?
2. My budgies rub their heads on the perches and cage bars should I be worried?
3. Their nails are getting long and they are not finger tame or anything near that what should I do?

1. Would depend on how many birds and what toys you already have for them. 2. Not at all. 3. Their claws only need attention if they cannot put their foot down flat on a flat surface. If the claw causes the foot to come up off the floor or bench or whatever they are standing on, then the claw/s need clipping. You can do this yourself or get a vet to do it for you. If you use natural branch perchs they shouldn't have a problem with the claws, but if they are long and you decide to clip yourself, remember to take only the smallest amount, be aware that they have a blood supply down the claw (so must have only the slightest amount off) which can bleed profusely if nicked.

That is a great way to describe it Hezz that if they can't put their foot on a flat surface then their nails need clipping.
Must do Sky's..
