If you are going to buy something, never take it without research. In this video I will tell you what you need to know to get a bird that will live with you for up to 10 years in good care. If you subscribe to my channel and like and comment on the video, you will give me the biggest support.
There are some things you need to decide before you adopt a budgerigar. The first is that you want to buy a baby or an adult? The baby and adult birds have some differences in education and getting used to it. The biggest difference between the two is the training and getting used to the baby bird is much easier and shorter than an adult bird. If you want to buy a baby budgerigar, you should know that you need to take care of it more carefully. Otherwise, the probability of getting sick is very high. You have to constantly make him nutritious food and keep him warm. When you get an adult bird, you won't have such a problem. You just need to create a nutritious feed mixture and feed it. In the link above, I gave a nutritious feed recipe and look at it sometime.
2. The subject you need to decide is the sex of the budgerigar. If we compare the two genders, the female birds are more difficult to train and get used to. Moreover, they are less likely to speak. Even if they speak, they learn very few words. In general, I have witnessed imitating sounds such as telephone or ringtone, I have not seen the words and learned very clearly. At the same time, the female birds become more coy and more vicious, and their biting rates are higher. It can be very aggressive when it reaches adulthood and enters the reproductive period. However, I can say that the male bird is more friendly and has more vocabulary learning skills.
If you follow my advice, you will get a 2-3 month old male budgerigar from someone who produces home. Because it will be easy to educate and you will be connected more. But you should be very sensitive about forgetting food, you should make food and give fresh sterile water every day. The video where I talked about how to understand the sex and age of the budgerigar has now appeared from above.
If we talk about color, the care of lutino and albino birds must be more sensitive. Because these birds are genetically damaged birds. Therefore, their immune systems become lower. If we compare the budgerigar in terms of health and life in terms of color, the original green ones are the most advantageous. The color you see on the screen right now is an example. Moreover, this color is the highest color skill of birds and their life is 1-2 years longer than other colors.
Now we have come to the most important part. When you go where you own your bird, you should definitely watch it and make an informed choice. Because when some birdbirds realize that you do not know, even if there is no gender or age bird you want, they can lie to you and deceive you. Once you've got your bird in mind, you can always ask me under this video 😊
After deciding on age, gender and color and going to where you will get your bird, now it's time to choose a healthy bird. You should pay particular attention to the fact that the bird you choose does not have diarrhea. If necessary, place the bird in a separate cage where you pick it up and wait for the bird to smear 1-2. The budgerigars are already dirty for a maximum of 10-15 minutes. Don't leave where you bought the bird until the bird is dirty. If the bird is diarrhea, I wouldn't recommend buying it. Because the biggest sign of disease in birds is diarrhea. Now the image I showed you on the screen is a healthy bird droppings. The image I will show soon is diarrhea bird droppings. In diarrhea bird droppings, there is no white urea in the middle and it is scattered.
Although there are petshops that care very well and love their birds, when I examine the birds in Petshop in general, I see that they are neglected and wild. so it would be better to take your bird from someone who produces home. Since the people who make home production have few birds, the bird grows accustomed from the brood, so it does not become wild.
If you need these things, take notes on a piece of paper and go buy birds, because there is the possibility that I will forget what I said and do the necessary checks. You can upload the picture of the bird you just bought to the address hizliresim.com and share it here to introduce us. Take care of youself, good bye.
