Choosing A Bird
It is important to choose a healthy Budgerigar whenever you purchase a bird. You should look for a registered breeder or a good pet shop when acquiring your Budgerigar. The Budgerigar Society can also tell you about breeders in your area from whom you may be able to purchase your bird, and are willing to give help and advice. Prices will vary depending on variety and quality and availability.
Newcomers to the fancy are usually eager to obtain birds. It may take time and develop an "eye" for a good bird so in the beginning it would be wise to take the advice from an experienced breeder you can trust.
Usually it is wise to give preference to young birds over older birds when making your first purchase (1 to 2 years old).
To manage your birds effectively you should already have your aviary/cage prepared.
