:P bumpies

:|one more bump....

Liana has a pair of Budgies. I'm sure she'll chime in soon.

Maybe post it in Pet General... not saying more people will see it there, but it will stay up at the top longer and it belongs there.

I have two bugies.. Tweety and Dexter :)

I let Tweety and Dexter out every day for atleast an hour.
If you want a budgie that will pay more attention to you.. just get one. But if you are out for most of the day... i would suggest 2, soo they don't get bored. I have alot of toys in my birds cage, that I change around once or twice a week.

about the noise... different budgies have different noise levels... Dexter is VERY vocal .. but Tweety is REALLY quiet.

i hope i could help :)

if you have any more questions feel free to PM me! :D

I have 2 keets as well. :) I got two for the same reason Tweety Pie said, I don't have a ton of time and I worry about their safety outside their cage with my cats, so I wanted them to have a mate/friend.

Gertie is WAY, WAY, WAY more vocal than Maurice, but if you cover the cage (at night), they are quiet.

Mine love to go outside (in their cage). They are really, really fun to have.

I also switch their toys each weekend so they stay occupied. They have a lot of fun toys out now, so they enjoy that.

THanx 4 all the help guys!! now i have to get my mom (fishdish) to let me have one!! LOL :)
