3 Things You Shouldn't Do Around Budgies


Budgies are interesting pets to have. They are fun, social and good companions for people across all ages. They are good for places and homes where having bigger poets like cats and dogs may not really be practicable. While it is true that having any bird as pets can be a little stressful, anyone with a little patience can soon get used to it. And with proper training, the bird itself can be tamed and made a proper citizen of the home.

Budgies are like every other pet. They are smart, intelligent, fun, and a great company to have. However, they also need proper feeding, care, exercise and training. While most people and websites talk about the things you can do to and with your budgies, they hardly talk about the things you shouldn't do.

Therefore, this article is meant to show you the things you generally avoid if you want your budgie to be in the best of health.

1. Avoid Putting them in Direct Sunlight

It is not good to put the birds in direct sunlight. While the aviary shouldn't be dark, the normal lighting will do just fine. If there are sun rays entering the aviary, try as much as possible to keep the birds away from it. Also, avoid keeping in the direct path of drafts.

Locate there in a place where there isn't any draft. This way, they will not get cold or exposed to intense heat. The conditions in a typical aviary or home are perfect for them. Exposing them to direct sunlight for extended periods or drafts will affect them negatively.

2. Avoid Using Aerosols

If you are buying a budgie, know that you may not be able to use any aerosol anywhere near them. This is because they are sensitive to chemicals. So, if you must use aerosols in a certain part of the building, move their cage away and do not return until the aerosols have cleared and you're sure there are little or no residues.

3. Get Rid of Poisonous Indoor Plants and Fumes

Another thing you need to be careful of is indoor plants. If you have indoor plants that could be potentially poisonous to the bird, get rid of it; particularly when you want to the let the bird out of its cage. Also avoid exposing the bird to fumes of any kind.

These three things will help keep your bird healthy and out of harm's way.
