Why Choose A Bird?
--> Birds are cheerful pets and can be kept in small flats and in units where dogs and cats are not allowed. Besides, they do not cost much to feed. Some birds can be teach to talk while others have a beautiful voice. Birds do not take up a lot of space, just a big cage is enough. Below are some popular species that are often keep as pets.

Budgerigar

Budgerigar are also known as budgie. They are a type of parakeet and is an ideal pet for beginners. Budgies are often chosen for their pretty colours, easy to take care and yes, they can be trained to talk! A male bird makes the bes talker and should be kept alone if you want it to talk besides forming a good relationship with you. That is because two birds will chatter to each other and show less interest in copying the human voice. Anyway, if you don't have enough time or you just want to keep them for fun, then it is better to have two or more.

Advantages:
1. Cheap
2. Easy to care for
3. Their main diet is just seeds. But you gotto feed them fruits and veggies so that they can have a balanced diet.

Haha, all tis pics taken from web. So dun be surprise if u saw similar picss..

Hahah... I thought yours... I used to have budgies... but now I more into Cockatiels... colour not s vibrant but personality is better heheheh...

yeah... & i'm getting eggs? or babies?

my budgies either died or flew away tht was dunno how many years ago, gonna try again next year.

Hahaha.... should be babies lah.... I let them hatch the eggs for you then you jaga the babies hehehe.... well, can't promise anything, see they wanna mate or not first eheheh...

go put some nice music... coconut trees.... "passion" fruit.... satin bedding... heart shaped toys...

Haha. Actually budgie's personality is also quite good wat.
Juz tat I have 3 now. And they are bond to each other rather than me.
All of them are males. lol.

So cute wo.... but those at pet shops not friendly to ppl ler...

aaa....i can get tame birds for u if u wan....

actually I felt this kind of birds are very difficult to raise one ... probably it's just me. my POV is ... birds should belong to the sky, not cage.

budgies cute lah. Aiyoh, you get 3 of course can't bond with you lah. To successfully train and bond parrots of any size, you have to start keeping it singly. Clip the wing feathers and slowly train it to accept your hand and fingers. Last time my budgies all can sit on shoulder and climb up and down our bodies hehehe...

Cockatiel better at singing. Also they have extremely funny personalities and actions. Friendly and easily tamed and trained when kept singly. Now I got a bonded pair that can breed.

erm , can anyone giv me a guide or a web on how to keep a budgie ?

hav some interest and maybe will start..

izit possible to keep it in my room? and how much it cost for one ?

A budgie is about RM18 to Rm25... Well, last time I bought Rm18 lah and recently saw RM25.

Just google for Budgerigar Caresheets. I don't read online coz I have magazines and books that has caresheets and guides.

Keep in your room? Budgies are a bit noisy, all parrots are lah. Keeping in your room is not healthy since the bird poo can contain mold and fungus when dried. Also when it is molting season, your room may be full of down feathers on the floor.

All birds need sunlight once a while. Parrots can also be messy eaters and scatter seeds and fruit pulp on the floor.

very cute... love to have it...

Haha. Ya loh. Got to seperate them. But now too late liao lor. Once got one out and play, then the other two chirp and chirp so loudly. Anyway, I did clipped all their wings for safety. U never noe wat might happen...

Hahah... true true, must clip the wings... you clip how many feathers? I clip the inner feathers and leave the outer ones so look natural.

I usually clip the primary feathers. Around 5-6 feathers. Can't clip too much. If not they cannot land properly.

hmmm...hun...i found someone to help me with the bird...u know the gennie that works in the vet clinnic....she said can help me raise wor...lol...

Ohhh... good good... then I can start breeding lah hahahah....
