We currently have quite a few sweet, relatively tame budgies that will make great companions!

We've probably said this many times on the blog, and I know we're constantly saying it to people who stop in and are looking for a new friend -- don't overlook budgies! Unfortunately, they are often considered to be "starter birds" or "throwaway pets." Nothing could be further from the truth!

A friendly, tame budgie is a delight -- truly a little jewel. They often do better in same sex pairs, so that they have company during the day, but they will remain tame to you if you take the time to spend with them every day.

All of the budgies I've been privileged to know love playing with toys. Just like the bigger birds, they have this desire to destroy, so they need wood toys.

Additionally, they have a delightful chatter that fills the air. It's pretty hard to stay in a bad mood with one of these guys around!
