Welcome graphic

Interesting Facts:
SPECIES: Budgerigar
Habitat: Australian grasslands
Behavior: Friendly and outgoing
Family: Psittacidae
Genus: Melopsittacus undulates
Size: Averages 7" to 7-1/2"
Diet: Seeds or grains, greens, fruits, vegetables, some live food, and mineral blocks. Watch the amount of seed because of their tendency for obesity.
Special Needs: If left to an inactive lifestyle, they are prone to obesity and all the problems related to being overweight. Can be sensitive to iodine deficiency (especially when fed seed exclusively), which can cause thyroid dysplasia, a disease where the thyroid gland presses on the trachea. These hardy birds can also succumb to bacterial infections. Change water frequently to help reduce problems from contaminated water.
Owner Challenges: Very active. As wild birds they fly great distances in flocks. Problems can arise if they are kept too sedentary. They need outlets for exercise and mental stimulation as well as social interaction.
Life Span: 6-10 years
Average Cost:

$10-$25
