I was having a look on preloved and was shocked to see at some of the conditions some keep their budgies ....you can see that in some photos they have a lot of budgies kept in small cages with plastic perches , surely if they can go on preloved it means they have access to a computer so therefore can look up on the internet how to look after budgies properly . It makes me so mad when i see people not bothering to give any thought to how pets should be looked after and they should be doing whats right for them

I can't bear to look at those things. They really upset me, and there is nothing I can do to fix it.

I agree Julie. Similar to gumtree. Things have moved on a lot over the years & like you say, there is so much information available online that it is hard to believe that some people do not have that awareness. On the plus side, if they are looking for the bird/s to be rehomed, it suggests they think they'd be better off with someone else!

I think many people see budgies as cheap and easy pets who need nothing more than seed and water. The truth is that if you are to care for them properly, they require a lot of thought and care.
They get shut up in a tiny rotten cage for their entire lives with nothing and no one for company, except some little plastic mirror. It's really awful.

I'm afraid that regardless of whether these websites exist or not, the ignorance of how to look after budgies will still be out there. But we are all trying to educate and make budgies lives better where we can
