- I have pet store budgies and while they're probably more of a challenge to train vs breeder budgies I've been able to make good progress! Of course all birds are going to be scared the first few weeks but they've definitely been able to warm up to me and seem to enjoy my presence. I think it depends what pet store you get them from honestly. Just know what to look out for! (Is the cage they're keeping them in clean? Do they have access to toys, food, and water? Do they seem happy and are getting along with each other/the other budgies there? etc)
- I've gotten used to the noise and while they do stay quiet sometimes I'd say they're chirping most of the day. I don't work nights but I find it very hard to sleep in on the weekends when they start chirping as the sun rises, so I imagine that is going to be very stressful for you. You could always have them in another room though and you'll barely be able to hear them.
- Never tried flight suits but I don't have a problem with cleaning up the poo around the room. Like someone else said they're usually in the same spot, and usually on top of the cage. There's also bird playgrounds you could get that would make out-of-cage activities fun for them and easy to clean up for you (example of one)
- Male/male is a good decision! Male/female works well too, but like you said you would have to be careful of mating. However, this can be prevented by avoiding any possible nesting areas (coconut huts, nests, etc) and changing up the cage every week or so.
Good luck and congrats on the new family members! Budgies are such a joy to have around :)
I prefer the vision cages. They are great if you don’t want them creating a mess when eating their food. I got a medium sized cage for my budgie and she was excited to be in it. Heck I cant get her to come out anymore because she wants to stay in it all the time. She loves to talked to the plastic hooks and the door knobs on the cage as well. I got a medium sized cage, you can order a large, or small one if you prefer but I found the medium is pretty good for me. Its also a lot easier to clean in my opinion!
The vision cages have different sizing as well. I got the medium m01, its longer. They have a medium m02 which is taller. So I would look at each cage and look at the dimensions, reviews and videos if you decide to get a vision cage. Its made it easier for me since I don’t have to worry about her flinging bird seed everywhere.
I'd second that, budgies are inquisitive playful creatures and need mental stimulation. They will need some chew toys like this https://www.amazon.ca/Colorful-Parakeet-Cockatoo-Cockatiels-Lovebird/dp/B01H5BCC3E/ref=sr_1_6?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1550553646&sr=1-6&keywords=budgie+chew or kabobs like this: https://www.amazon.com/Bird-Kabob-Shreddable-Parrot-Mini/dp/B00JXLOOTA/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=shreddable+bird+toy&qid=1550553894&s=gateway&sr=8-1, some toys that make noise like bells (budgies LOVE bells), and some swings to fly and hop around on. Most budgies LOVE rope swings like this: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00061UX2I/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04__o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
​
Also look at foraging toys for mental stimulation as well.
​
A variety of perches of shape and size (rope, wood, cement) is good for their feet.
​
Make sure to also provide a cuttlebone and mineral block.
I actually have two of these cages! One for my tiel, and one for my GCC! I love this cage, one thing I'd recommend is something like this. The small one is plenty large enough for budgies, and goes all the way to the bottom of the cage.
I also recommend the cage cover, also made by ph.
Edit: Formatting.
Cage looks amazing! I’d recommend more shredding toys. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Planet-Pleasures-Firecracker-Piñata-Small/dp/B008YDH1ES. My birds hang on these types of toys and just shred the heck out of them.
If you work full time, two is better for them. Budgies are flock birbs and get bored and lonely if left on their own.
The best cage is the biggest one you can afford and have space for. For the price, this is a great cage.
Not sure where you're from, but here's the Amazon.ca link for it. Comes in a couple sizes. My budgies and my lovebirds enjoy them.
Also, we're fairly certain that Blue is a lady budgie
You can't really discourage chewing on stuff with budgies, since it's such a strong instinct for them. I would suggest getting her something appropriate to chew on like these bird kabobs, and redirect her to them if she starts chewing on something inappropriate.
I also have a UVB light bulb in a clamp light attached to the cage, that's plugged into an outlet timer from 8am to 5pm. Windows filter out uvb light and it affects birds in a few ways. It impedes their ability to absorb calcium/vitamin D, and it also affects their vision. Birds have ultraviolet sensitivity (they can see things in the ultraviolet spectrum that humans cannot see), and in the absence of natural light (which contains uv rays), they can't see those things they would normally see because uv rays illuminate them to birds (such as patterns on other birds feathers). Their world is much duller visually, in the absence of unfiltered natural light (or artificial uvb light made for animals).
I use this bulb in this lamp. Mine clamps on the outside of the cage, with the bulb close to the cage so my birds, when they are sitting on their preferred perches, theyre less than 12 inches from the bulb.
My budgie does this too, but with these cat toys (link). We stack like 12 of them up on top of his cage and he throws them all down one after another until they're all gone. Then if they aren't returned promptly enough he'll fly down to the floor and roll them around. Here's a video I took of it.
Most pet stores sell spray millet in the bird aisle.
You can also find spray millet on amazon pretty cheap.
The link below should show you at least what you would be looking for.
https://www.amazon.com/Kaytee-Spray-Millet-12-Count-Packaging/dp/B000VOE3QW/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=spray+millet&qid=1565105062&s=gateway&sr=8-4
But for packaged product to buy (seed/pellet), what would you buy?
Is this any good: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002FP3VY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?smid=A2Y7JET69Q6TGZ&psc=1 ?
(Got it from this article https://www.parakeethome.com/best-parakeet-food-review/ )
Thanks.
I've only had her for about 2 weeks, but she likes both the chewable and real wood perches and her foraging pineapple.
Regular toys, this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002DZMC3S/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Here's how her cage is now: http://i.imgur.com/wfEsqrL.jpg
One more question, whats your opinion on the large double height version of that brand cage.
https://www.amazon.ca/Vision-Bird-Cage-Model-Medium/dp/B0012DOXFW/ref=sr_1_1_m?s=pet-supplies&rps=1&ie=UTF8&qid=1538362996&sr=1-1&keywords=vision%2Bbird%2Bcage&refinements=p_85%3A5690392011&th=1
And then we found this one as well
https://www.amazon.ca/Flight-Bird-Cage-Detachable-Stand/dp/B07G4MN5VF/ref=sr_1_48?s=pet-supplies&ie=UTF8&qid=1538383027&sr=1-48&keywords=large+bird+cage
From another thread I posted this in:
Replace seeds with this and never look back:Harrisons High Potency Superfine 3 Lb https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00AD83CCC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awd_10uIwbEYGYTT3
If your bird has an option to eat seeds, he/she will. This stuff is very nutritious compared to seeds and a lot less fattening. You only need to serve what they'll eat, so it lasts a long time. Remember to offer green veggies as well, but if your bird is hungry, they'll eat what is put out for them.
Also, the rainbow diet... I just looked it up and the pellets may be too big for your keet to recognize as food. We had this problem with other pellets but the Harrison's superfine is about the same size as millet seeds.
Roudybush crumbles or minis
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000WFEK0Y/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1509572022&sr=8-3&keywords=roudybush+mini&dpPl=1&dpID=51G2DBr9k1L&ref=plSrch
I'm not sure on the cage, I got it off Craigslist. It's one of big brands I believe, something flight cage. I can try to find it for you later.
edit: this isn't the exact brand, but it's basically identical in size and features: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D4WW64Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_8WArzbE4KMQWZ
