Companion birds should be kept indoor and provide them with lots of out of cage time. The cage must be reasonable spacious not those hanging types.
Most people don't treat birds well. Birds are one of most badly abused pets. Most are caged in tiny cages for life and are fed with only seeds or pellets.

If you are getting hand fed budgies or cockatiels, both are equally tame. Companion birds need lots of interaction with their caretakers. You have to do more research if you are able to give the kind of care to the birds.

This is one of my cockatiels.

You need to recall train the bird. Once the bird can fly to you on command, the bird won't fly away.

The normal millets and spray millets are the same. Learn how to sprout. Sprouted food are way more better than pellets. I don't feed my parrots pellets. I feed them plenty of fresh food. I sprout mung beans, millets and winter wheat. Lovebirds like to eat sprouts, apple, kangkung and sweet corn. For protein and fat, I give them a little sunflower seeds and hemp seeds in the evening. I have a cup of millet 24/7.

I chopped banana leaves or ginger leaves or petai branches with leaves for them to forage. These are my toys for them.

You can find toys at Pets Wonderland at Mid Valley. Spray millet is also available there but it is very expensive. I packet is more than RM10. I bought mine at a bird shop at Ampang for less than RM4. I use spray millet as treat to train my parrots.

Somewhere at Taman Sri Watan, Ampang. The shop is on the main road of Taman Sri Watan.
