lol...I am younger than you loh. haha. Smart or not smart depends on the bird itself. And as stated, diet plays an important role. Feeding solely on seeds and you can expect to say goodbye to your birdie after 5 years.

Michael, did you take your English for shows?

And litte, you can always hang the cups and tubs using wires. And having a bird's wing clipped doesnt mean it cannot fly at all. Clipping the wings is like they will not fly too high but they can still flap their wings. It is very important that you only clip the first 6 feathers of the wing so as to retain their ability to fly. And budgies have powerful legs and beak. They will hop from perch to perch and beak serves as the third leg which mean they will use their beak to climb.

one more thing, if you use water tumbler, remember to change the water everyday. Dont think that oh, theres still water, I will wait till tomorrow. And budgies like to make soup which means they will poop in the water.

Budgies do like to bath. But dont suddenly spray on them. They will be scared to death. LOL... Mist the surrounding first then slowly change the target to the birdies. For me, I will bath them whenever I like cause I use hair dryer to dry them up. LOL..And if you have a bath tub, you dont need to mist them so often.

But if you use tumbler, they wont be able to poop in it right since tumbler = bottle?

Bath tub u mean a bowl of water at the base?

Food must be available at all times? <--nobody answer. sad.gif Mealworms can be fed?

liette, refer to my post, the one before this. I editted something already. I doubt about mealworms as I didnt feed them any before.

Yes, cuttlebone is a must! It will help them get additional calcium and trim their beaks as well.

Well, for the tumbler, you dont know where they will be poop. Tumbler or not, change your water everyday.

Wait. how does a bird bottle look like? Not the same as hamster bottle right? blink.gif

If i provide a big bowl of water on the base of the cage, it'll serve as a bath tub?

Yeah I know not sprinkle, wrong choice of word. Mist. smile.gif

LOL...Of course not hamster bottle loh. Will find you the pics.

Well, it depends. If the bird wanna drink from the water, then it is a water bowl. If they decided to play in it, then it is a bath tub. But I suspect the birds wont get into the water and play if it is placed on the floor as low ground means danger to budgies in the wild. Perhaps try somewhere higher? And make sure the bowl isnt too deep or else they can drown!

Metal bowl for food and water, put on the floor of the cage? For birds which wings are clipped, if they jump down to the floor to bathe, how are they gonna get back up to their perch? They can't fly right with clipped wings. Man, I'm blur!

This is my Cockatiel cage. I used the same cage before for my Budgies last time. This cage only cost RM30, comes with feeding cups and one plastic bird standing ring.

No offence, but I do think the cage would be a bit small for cockatiel. It seems like it can even fly a bit. A good cage would means it has space for the bird to flap its wing and do some flying. Nonetheless, it is a nice cage.

Ya..I know its kind of small for it, but I was told that put it in small cage first, till it familiar with us then only transfer to bigger cage. After all most of the time it is not inside the cage.

Better get a slightly bigger cage than the one in the picture. Budgie will feel stress if housed in a small cage.

No problem, I have 2 large cages like 2 ft x 1 ft x 1.5 ft, and also 3 fit x 2 ft x 3ft which are more suitable for love birds and Cockatiel on hand. I'm thinking of building an outdoor aviary when I moved to my new home this year end.
