painting by William T Cooper 1970
Today's domesticate and exhibition Budgerigars originated in the wild in the green form as a native of Australia. Pet budgerigars are easy to keep and, as long as you follow a few basic rules, their cheerful nature, eagerness to please and the ability to talk make them the ideal companion for all ages. They are also inexpensive to purchase, feed and house.
Before buying your first Budgerigar, or start building an aviary, you are well advised to take a little time reading up on the subject and asking advice from experience birdkeepers. The best way to learn about Budgerigars is to join a local club and make contact with other fanciers who are usually only too pleased to show you around their own aviary to look at their methods.
This enjoyable and fascinating hobby brings many fanciers together, forming many friendships throughout the country with one thing in common, the love of Budgerigars.
