🐦 Budgerigar (Budgie)

The budgerigar, commonly called a budgie or parakeet, is one of the most beloved and popular pet birds worldwide. Native to Australia, these small, colorful birds are known for their cheerful personality, intelligence, and ability to mimic human speech.

Budgies are very social, bonding closely with their owners and even learning simple words and tricks. Their chirps, whistles, and playful antics make them entertaining companions. They come in a variety of vibrant colors—green, blue, yellow, and more—and have a lifespan of 5 to 10 years, or even longer with great care.

They are easy to care for, needing a spacious cage, daily interaction, and a balanced diet of seeds, pellets, fruits, and veggies. Whether kept alone (with plenty of attention) or in pairs, budgies bring joy, energy, and song into any home.
