Bringing Your Budgie Home
When you first bring your new budgie home from the pet store or breeders, it’s better not to approach him much until he’s had time to settle down and get used to his new surroundings. Talk to him by all means, but take care not to frighten him. In a few days, perhaps a week, he should be ready to be approached quietly.
This video shows a small cage. Just remember that parakeets do need to spread their wings and get some exercise. If they can’t do that in his cage, be sure to give him some flying time in a safe environment.
