As title , Where did you get your first budgie from was it a breeder or a pet shop ? My first budgie as a kid was from a breeder who worked with my uncle and we had him at 7weeks old (Joey)

Sweetie is my first budgie, I got her from a breeder I found online not too far from me and luckily he agreed to drop her off to me, she was between 12 and 16 weeks when i got her

Jake was my first budgie, I took him home from the college where i work. When he and his brother came out the nestbox both had bald patches, not tail or flights and were half the size of the other chicks there age. The breeder who owns them said the farther would feed them untill they could fly. I kept leaving food down for them but after a week of running around the floor it was odvious that no one was feeding them as they were getting skinny as the little quails were eating any food that was left on the floor. I tryed for days to get them to eat but they wouldnt touch food from a bowl and only from the floor. Then a few days later i walked in and jakes brother came running up to me and took food from a bowl so another tech took him home but he died in the night. So the next day i took jake home and harrased him with a bowl of food untill he ate, and thats how i got my first budgie. Got my current two from work as well the same way as i couldnt bare them being culled as jake made such a great pet.

Funnerly enough im not actualy fond of birds but i wouldnt be with out my feathery babies.
